Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Many Ways to Help
It doesn't matter which organization you use to donate money to help the Red Cross in Haiti, but doing something to help really does matter.
After Katrina, there was a big scandal because money people donated to the Red Cross thinking it would go to help New Orleans went into a more general relief fund. So it might make a difference. I myself donated to a Haiti-specific charity in this case.
I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, a CD reviewer, and as a teacher. I began my professional musical life as a flutist, and spent a lot of quality time as a baroque flutist, but both of those instruments spend their time tucked away in a drawer, while my violin, viola, and my viola d'amore are often tucked under my chin.
