New to Blogging

I've been thinking about creating a blog for some time, but couldn't decide if I had enough "Things Worth Noting" that others would want to read.  I decided that I will jump in and at least check out how a blog works, test it out, and see what happens!

To tell you about myself...  My name is Jaime.  I'm a new mommy, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a music therapist, a musician, a performer, an actor, and a lover of life.   Maybe this blog will be endearing...  Maybe it will be funny...  Maybe it will be informative...  Maybe it will be educating...  Maybe it will be completely boring...  You can decide that for yourself, if you choose to read it. 

I'm calling this blog "Things Worth Noting."  The definitions of "Note" being:
  •  A brief record of facts, topics, or thoughts, written down as an aid to memory
  •  A short informal letter or written message
  •  A single tone of definite pitch made by a musical instrument or the human voice
  •  A written sign representing the pitch and duration of such a sound
  •  A key of a piano or similar instrument
  •  A particular quality or tone that reflects or expresses a mood or attitude
These definitions are perfect as this will be a compilation of topics and thoughts written down.  It is kind of written in a letter format, as I'm talking to SOMEONE out there!  I'm a musician, more specifically a MUSIC THERAPIST, and I will be writing about music therapy I witness all around.  This quailfies for music in my sessions, music I perform, music I witness, music I enjoy, and more. 

I'm using "Noting" as a verb.  Although I most often use "note" as a noun - a music note, a piano note, a written note.  Similarly, we don't always sit back and witness "music" as a noun, as a whole we actively make music, create music, or choose music.  So, I like to use "Music-ing" as a verb.

Noting - Note - Music - Musicing...  See the connection? 

So...  Here we go!

  1. Welcome to the world of blogging, Jaime! This is a great title and you're off to a great start! It can be as time consuming or as come-and-go as you please. I've been blogging for just a few months now, and I love it.

    Mine is very much a personal blog, so I don't talk much about music therapy. It's really more of a parenting blog than anything else. I have two biological sons (one with special needs) and a step-son.

    Looking forward to reading more! Take care.
