Happy Spring Break! Embracing Fresh Starts in Music
Spring is finally here! The days are getting longer, the flowers are beginning to bloom, and for many of us, it’s time for a well-earned break. Whether you’re taking time to relax, travel, or dive into creative projects, I hope this season brings you fresh inspiration—especially in music!
As we wrapped up this past season of lessons and performances, one of my favorite studio classes to run is an exploration of Irish and folk music. With its lively jigs, expressive airs, and driving rhythms, it was a great reminder of how music connects us to history, culture, and one another. There’s something special about stepping outside of your usual style and trying something new. Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh approach to make a breakthrough in your playing! Being able to share the skills we have worked hard on all year and where we “came from” musically is a real treat.
Need a Fresh Set of Ears? 🎶
Spring is also a season of preparation—competition season is in full swing, and many musicians are getting ready for auditions and recitals. If you’re working on a piece and feel like you’re just this close to polishing it, sometimes a fresh set of ears can make all the difference. Whether you need feedback on phrasing, technique, or interpretation, I’d love to help you refine your performance so you walk on stage with confidence.
Or maybe you’re looking for live music to bring something truly special to your next event. Whether it’s a wedding, church gathering, or private concert, I’d love to help create the perfect musical atmosphere with Classical and sacred repertoire.
Enjoy your spring break, and if you’d like to schedule a coaching session or inquire about live performances, feel free to reach out. Let’s make this season one of fresh starts and beautiful music!
