Purpose of blog, "Musings of the Musical Life"

Hi! I am Michael Refvem, classical pianist, husband and resident of Montréal, Canada. I recently moved to Montréal from Seattle, where I grew up, and before Seattle I lived in New York City while I attended the Manhattan School of Music for graduate studies.

I am writing this blog because in the past (and especially recently) I have had the impulse to write my thoughts down for you very candidly. If my words here end up having any effect for you, that would be great, but mostly I aim to write to satisfy my own urge. I am not making any vow to write on any schedule or timeline, I simply write when I am inspired to do so.

I aim to convey candid thoughts related to my life as a musician and human being. Perhaps you may find it interesting to learn more about me. This is not where I will be posting updates about my concerts and career, for that please visit my main site: www.michaelrefvem.com.

Enjoy!
