Summertime

Hello there dear readers. 

It's been a little while since I've given an update. The Sucré tour was a lot of fun and just a whirlwind of good times and experiences. May was a busy month - wrapping up the lessons taught in schools, interviewing at new schools, and preparing for the summer. Creatively I have a couple projects going - some writing, some playing. It's shaping up to be a good summer. 

A snap I took from the Sucré soundcheck in Austin.

Lessons have officially kicked off for the summer. I'm located at a couple of high schools on Monday and Tuesday. I have some time open in the rest of the week for lessons in my home - so if you're here at the site looking for lesson info, send me an email. We'll get it all sorted. 

Hm, I'll update the lessons page today. Go and have a look at that for my schedule a little later on. 

Ah, also some great news: I'm officially hired on the lesson staff for Lake Highlands schools. After chatting with the head band director, I'm so pleased I will be working for this cluster in Richardson. I feel we look at music experiences and instruction the same way. This means I'm doing a lot of teaching at Lake Highlands, Garland, and Mesquite. This coming school year will be a good one - but very busy!

Currently I'm in the process of planning a recital in the fall with a dear friend, Katie Wolber. Katie and I were in undergrad together at SMU. She does a lot of freelancing in Dallas and Fort Worth. She's a great player! We're looking to put together an interesting program that features each of us as players as well as the two of us as a duo. I'm very thankful we're back working together in the same town! It's a great thing to have a friend close by to sharpen your musical skills.

What collaboration can look like.

In a little while, I'll do a post about my experiences on the Sucré tour. It's overdue, but I feel I should put something online about how it all was for me. Stay tuned.

Some of the eats we got on the road.
