We had a lovely recital on December 14. Our big group piece was Carol of the Bells and it was so much fun! Not everyone has a chance to play in an orchestra, and this was definitely orchestral, with guitars, a mandolin, and many violins. As soon as I find the right translator, I'll be able to post the video.
Some of my students both in elementary and high school are beginning to compose music and songs. This is quite exciting for all concerned! Few realize how a melody can be grown from a few notes, how it can take hold and send out shoots, becoming a musical phrase, and before you know it, with proper nurturing and care, sends up branches and leave and becomes an entire tune! And it all comes from a small seed. Amazing.
There are still lesson times open for new students, or returning former students. I'd be happy to help you nurture the seed of music you have, or help you branch out into another instrument. Or just start from scratch, no previous musical experience is required, just a desire to have fun and learn.
I'll call the library and set the date for the Spring Recital soon. I can't wait to see what the students will come up with next!
