Happy Christmas you filthy animals. Here’s the top 5 things I’ve found myself explaining to students over the last 15 years of teaching.

From music theory to true French expression; I can’t believe I’m giving this away for free. Maybe the Guinness has finally got to me.

Anyway, happy holidays, big smooches, see yous in 2026!
