I started writing my original WordPress blog in March 2009.

Throughout my life I’ve found writing very cathartic but what started out as cheap form of psychotherapy soon metamorphosed into life form of its own which eventually reached the classical music No 5 slot on the Wikio ranking just over a year after penning my very first article.

Just like me, the blog is always in a state of evolution so you might like to consider subscribing to the updates, either by RSS feed or by email subscription. The link buttons are located in the side bar on the right.

June 2010 heralded the publication of this portfolio site and it seemed to make sense to migrate all the original posts to what I jokingly call MDH HQ!

For the entire month of August I added the generous contributions of guest post writers into the mix in order to give me and the rest of the world a brief respite from sound of my own voice.

I also needed to take a step back and seriously consider the future direction of this blog, my writing and ongoing Internet project plans in relation to the developments in my music career as a whole.

Setting off on a long journey with a road map and well researched itinerary is sound practice but don’t forget that along the way there will be occasions when you are confronted with a brand new motorway (freeway).

My the time I had emerged from my thinking cave I had come to the decision that this blog should go back to its personal roots.

As a result, insights which spring from what’s going on in my life and my music career will continue to live here.

Articles from the monthly archives which were of more general classical music interest I removed, returned to the subject matter afresh and rewrote from scratch. These new versions and additional material appear on my other site Zero 2 Maestro – a joint venture with Kinetiva launched on 11th April 2011 which focuses on unconventional success strategies for classical musicians.
