  • I've been teaching private music lessons for over 20 years. In October of 2008 I found a wonderful space for a music studio, and Tartan Tundra Music was born.

    Instruments taught:

    Violin/Fiddle:in many styles including Classical, Celtic, Old Timey, Alaskan, International (Russian, Scandinavian, Eastern European) and more.

    Mandolin: Mainly in Old Timey and Celtic styles, but the mandolin is just as versatile as the violin and can be used in many wonderful kinds of music.

    Guitar: Folk, rock, oldies, Celtic... Ukulele: One of the most amusing and fun instruments ever! And great for beginners of all ages!

    Viola: A viola is larger than a violin with a lovely, deep sound, but the method of playing is the same as violin.

    Bodhrán: Irish drum. There is an art to this, it isn't just whacking away on a drum head. Fun and interesting.

    Vocal Coaching: I can help you get your voice out in the open and help you sing.

Take Music Lessons via Skype, Facetime or Google

  • Taking Distance Lessons
    Distance Lessons are $36 per half hour, and $54 for 45 minutes. Lessons are taken via various apps such as Facetime, Zoom, or Google Meet. I prefer FaceTime for the quality and ease of use, but there are many ways to connect. You must have a web camera and have the app for one of on your computer, laptop, tablet or phone. Also, please let me know which one you want to use!

Spring Recital: All Together Now!

It's almost here! Our Spring Recital is on Thursday, May 11, at 7pm at the Noel Wien Library auditorium. (Students should arrive at 6:30.) The program begins at 7:00. We play from 7 to around 8:00 (or earlier) and then have a potluck. We have to be all done by 8:45. You can sign up for the potluck here: http://www.perfectpotluck.com/meals.php?t=EPWM7146

We have had group pieces at every recital, but this time almost all the performances will be group or ensemble pieces. The students have put a lot of work into this and parents have been wonderful about getting kids together, even outside lesson times, to practice. (Thank you, Teesha, for organizing the Boil Them Cabbagers!)

So not only are the end results, the music, a group effort, but also the entire process of bringing together of people to make this recital special. Can you tell I'm smiling?

Thus, our theme has officially become "All Together Now!" 

Of course the performance is free, and prospective students, family, and friends, plus any interested folk are welcome. This won't be a stressful, stuffy recital. Our aim is to have fun and celebrate! See you there!
