Sectional Fun

I have had so much fun these past two months! I have now been home for almost three months, and have stayed busy in the music scene but with schools and symphonies!

I have to thank Marcus Voght at Eastmont Middle School, Lena Wood at Midvale Middle School,
Brandon Cresshall at Brigham High School, and more teachers who have gotten a hold of me and have allowed me to work with their students! I have loved seeing them grow, and keep in touch with my music education. This Tuesday I will be attending South Hills Middle School to do some sectional work with them as well! I'm happy to add them to my list of friends and associates!

Keep practicing and enjoying the music! There is nothing as satisfying as playing music and listening to it live! My family was able to attend the Utah Symphony performing the "Magical Firebird" conducted by Vladimir Kulenovic. It was an amazing concert in which Vladimir talked the audience into understanding the story behind the music, which passages meant what, and how Stravinsky put it all together!

Music is like that, it needs a story behind it, and then it will blossom and develop into something more!

Sectionals and New Home!

Monday I had so much fun helping Midvale Middle School's flute players with their music! I am looking forward to doing sectionals with Eastmont Middle School as well on the 14th! Shout out to all the music teachers in the Canyons School District who do the best that they can with what is given them!

Festival season is almost here, which means being "practicly perfect in everyway" for the top bands in each school! If there is anyone who is wanting me to come and help their students with sectionals on intonation or rhythm, let me know!

I have also found a new home to teach from! The Music Studio is an amazing buisness for music teachers to have a private place to teach outside of their home, and more available for students and siblings learning different instruments! check it out!
