What's goin' on?

Happy New Year (a couple weeks late) - here's the latest studio news:

  • Winter quarter is in full swing at Music Center and our ensemble class is off to a great start. 19 fearless students are taking on scenes from Rossini's Cenerentola and Broadway hits Company and Title of Show, among others, as well as choral works like Lauridsen's lovely "Dirait-on". Everyone's been working hard to learn their music before staging starts next week. Mark your calendars for the concert on March 10th - you don't want to miss it! If you're interested in joining ensemble class next quarter, see me for more info.
  • I've compiled a 20-minute vocal warm-up playlist for those of you without pianos to practice with at home. Let me know if you'd like a copy. And if you don't have a piano but would like to get one, Prosser Piano has student pianos available to rent for as little as $39.95 a month. (No, they didn't pay me to say that - I just like their stores and service.)
  • Music Center is now on Facebook! Visit their page today and become a fan to keep updated on the latest news and events.
  • I've added new links and a blogroll with some of my favorite and/or most helpful sites. If you have a favorite singing or music-related blog that I missed, send me the URL and I'll consider adding it to the list.
