I'm still working on getting this site up to speed. Because of the new format, finding time to add the video and music links that were on the old site as well as all of the documents that were available has been a challenge. I will try to get "New Student Docs" and scale sheets up as soon as possible. Maybe my New Year's Resolution, eh?

Feel free to keep bugging me about it...The nagging helps motivate me...

It has been a decidedly hectic spring this year. Many gigs, both expected and unexpected got me thinking about how young musicians have difficulty finding opportunities to play.

This month, I was called for a week long gig which I accepted and then because of sudden and unavoidable circumstances couldn't do. I sent a student of mine, which worked out great. It was however, the first time I've sent a student to sub for me - and the first time that my student has ever had to sub for her teacher.

I am shamefully bad at adding entries here on a regular basis.... If anyone is even reading this blog anymore, I apologize for my lack of consistency.

I've been thinking a lot about my students lately. Especially my seniors heading out to college next year. Now is the time when they must figure out where they are going, do any auditioning that they may need to do (especially if they are going to major in music) and get themselves ready to leave home for the first time to begin their own adventure.
