Last night two of my students, Sherry Keene and Josie Rogers, joined me in playing violin for the "Flowers on the Lake" celebration. This is a remembrance of victims of domestic violence put on by our local Safe House. It is a beautiful concept -- we all put flowers into the water at the end and watch them spread and float away gently.

Anyway, Sherry and Josie both did a great job. We did a medley of Celtic tunes, some of the ones from the first student CD (for those of you who are students, and therefore learn from my CDs.). The point is, these are fairly easy tunes but they make great entertainment pieces. Both Sherry and Josie learn classical as well as Celtic music.

I've set up this blog mainly as a place to post hints for students: practicing, learning, choosing a direction, etc. Please let me know what else you'd like to see. Thanks!
