(A note for those who inhabit or frequent institutions of learning: when you find out that someone is a student or faculty member in the music department, do not ask them what instrument they play. Instead, ask them what their area is. If they say “performance”, then ask them what instrument they play—or whether they’re a vocalist.)
I’ve been meaning to ask you about that, if there’s anything you’d care to say publicly. What kind of music do you write? (Sorry, I know composers hate that question.) Is that how you make your living?
Some of us write music.
That was actually going to be a follow-up question, as I assumed that those who write music also play it.
Not a correct assumption in general!

Thanks for the correction.
