WHY 

"Flutes at Dawn" is a metaphor. It's about the moment of inspiration and the creative process that gets us there. It's the ah-hah or eureka moment, the spark in a student's eye when something clicks as a new connection is made (with a person or idea); it's about finding new perspectives and ways of relating; it's the peaceful time of self reflection in the morning, the music that plays at the beginning of a new day.
 
Because my family has been such a big support and part of this journey, Flutes at Dawn is a tribute to my parents' names - Murali, which is the name of the flute Krishna plays in Hindu mythology, and Usha, which means dawn.
