Welcome to the blogsite of Marrington, a repository of musings which will reflect (for better or worse) my thinking on a variety of topics including music education, the nature of composition, music production, the guitar, and so on. As yet there is no central theme - and there may never be one! Please keep in mind that the writings published on here are in a state of flux - I’m using this site to air my thinking and I’ll quite freely revise an entry if I wake up in a cold sweat one night at the sudden realisation that what I have written is absolute balderdash. I hope I can resist!
