Happy 2013!

Hope your holiday break was refreshing and energizing. Mine sure was! As usual you can find lots of information on the Northwoods Strings Calendar on this web site. Be sure to check there for important rehearsal, performance, and fund raising dates. Below you'll find my teaching schedule and teaching calendar for the year. Visit my web site to keep up with my performing schedule, find out about new music releases, and just find out what's new. Ditto for Duck for the Oyster.

Here's my revised 2013 Lesson Schedule so far, subject to change:
