The summer is the time when we can all take a breath and I can expose students to new music genres, groups and musicians. We're almost at the middle of the summer, so plan on improvising more until school starts up again. I've published a new video of Richard Galliano. This is a fusion of Tango and Jazz. The music is really beautiful and the musicians are stellar. I'm particularly amazed by the percussionist... :)

I hope you can join me on July 15th at the Wenona Concert Shell for our performance of "Pirates of Penzance". I'm playing first flute on this one. Another great reason that I'm encouraging my students to work on their doubles over the summer. One never knows when you'll be called upon to play one of them as a lead.

More to come...Enjoy this wonderful summer!!
