Web Design Wisdom from a 3rd Grade Musician

My 3rd grade daughter offered some good advice the other day when I asked her about school.

She’s learning (mastered) to play the recorder in music class. I asked her what she found to be the hardest thing to play and she told me this advice:

“The hardest thing about playing the recorder in music class is knowing when not to play the recorder in music class”

We’d be well served to heed this in the web design industry. Sometimes less is better, and in an environment of restraint, the pure messages can be heard.
