by Rebecca Cochran

It's official! I'll be participating in Bach in the Subways 2017!

March 21 is Johann Sebastian Bach's 332nd birthday. From March 18-21, musicians around the world will share the music of Bach by performing in subways, public spaces and concerts open to all. The goal is to celebrate Bach's work and to sow the seeds for future generations of classical music lovers.

My Year of Bach Recap

1/1/2017

 
by Rebecca Cochran

As a recap on My Year of Bach project:
 
At the beginning of 2016, I began a personal experiment. I decided to challenge myself by writing a short daily blog post on my favorite composer, J.S. Bach.
 
My original goals were these:
Post daily (I never missed a day!)
Learn as I go
Share what I learn
Enjoy myself
 
Some of the other benefits I’ve enjoyed as a result of regular blogging are:
Learning to write more quickly
Becoming more adept at conducting research online
Making interesting new friends all over the world
Having thoughtful conversations with other Bach-lovers via social media
 
I was even contacted by American Public Media and invited to do a couple of interviews as to why Bach is my favorite composer. The result is two features being streamed nationwide on APM’s YourClassical.org.
 
Anyone can be a blogger. My best advice is to start with a topic that you’re passionate about. Set a few goals. Make blogging a part of your routine. It doesn’t have to be daily. A weekly or monthly schedule is totally acceptable.
 
There are many, many more benefits to blogging. The #1 benefit: having fun!
 
Thank you to all who have read, listened, followed, shared and commented all year.  Your unwavering support has been humbling and inspiring, to say the least!
 
P.S. Be sure to watch this space for more content related to J. S. Bach!
 

    My Year of Bach.

    This is an experiment.
    I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

    ​I need Bach in my daily life.

    ​So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
