FULL MOON JAMMIN GATHERINGS!
 


Educational and Fun

Come and get experience playing music and meet other music people by attending music jams at the home of Theresa Ellis in Eden, Utah. Also from this area in Ogden Valley the group Shades of Grey have been known to show up at the jams. For novice (if you are not sure how), or just want to play with others, all are welcome to come, eat and just plain howl at the moon this summer. The first one will be held Thursday May 31st out on the pickin' porch in back. Informal and fun is the theme, families are welcome to bring the kids, also it will run from 4-10 PM so BYO meat for the bar-b-que eats.

On some calendars, it says full moon is June 1, but astronomers would tell you it actually starts on May 31. So it is kind of both days and I picked the Thursday, so I could be there for the whole time.

I will provide the paper products, drinks (non-alcoholic) and be available for coaching for the 6 hours. It will be a workshop style, or plain jamming (depending on who gets there when). This is for adults and children, beginners and pros, singers and players, all welcome listeners, too. There could be small groups, or one large group, depending on how it works out. But however it goes, hopefully it will be a loony great night. Bring your friends and family even if they are not playing or singing.

Valley Elementary Orchestra and Guitar Concert
*** END OF SCHOOL YEAR***
 


A big thanks goes to Tommy Lee principal at Valley and Brent Broome at Snowcrest and the kids and parents!

Where: Snowcrest Jr Hi

When: Wednesday May 16, 2007 at 7PM

Who: Beginner and Advanced Orchestras with Guitar Ensemble, and Valley Band

Special Awards will be given that evening!

There is a lot to be said for the commitment it takes to hang in there for the whole school year when learning a musical instrument in a class. I appreciate the opportunity to serve the valley area schools and community by teaching music to the young. Thanks to Fed-Ex Kinkos for helping me to print and bind the music method books for the kids that I wrote this year. And thanks for all the patience of not having page numbers in these books! Also a big thanks to graphic artist Zena Manley, and my helpers Sue Hansen, Suzanne Barilec, Sandra Jenkins, Sean Healey, and student teacher Addison Brown. I feel we had a great first year. I am returning in the Fall - let's do it again.
