Twitter and Tár

A warm hello to everyone who signed up for this newsletter in the past week! I’m happy to have you here, no matter what Twitter’s fate may be.

Super quick explainer for new friends (skip ahead if you don’t need this)

To head off any confusion about how the free/paid posting thing works here: every week I write one of these little posts and they go out to paid subscribers. At the end of each month all free subscribers get a newsletter that features a summary of updates and little morsels from the weekly posts.

Paid subscribers also get access to semi-weekly practice videos that I post, and those who subscribe at $20/month or higher also get handwritten mail that I send to your actual physical mailbox.

I’m happy to comp subscriptions for music students or musicians on a budget; you can email me at substack [at] sharonsu [dot] com to arrange this.

More info on how everything works can be found here.

Today’s post is a paid one, so free subscribers will see a paywall cut-off below; I’m planning to have the free monthly post go out next week.

I haven’t left Twitter and plan on sticking around as long as the platform is 1) still up and 2) relatively tolerable for me to be on, but I have set up camp on Mastodon just in case. If you’re interested in following me there, my handle is @doodlyroses@space-pirates.org.
