My sister Tracy and I have a lot of projects on the go. Her cd is in the finally final stages now, with photographs and graphics being gathered, mastering nearly complete and liner notes written. She hopes to have it in hand by July 1st - this 'baby' is getting a little overdue.
Tracy and I also work together, teaching piano, voice and guitar lessons. Now we are re-vamping our business as "The Centre for Culture and Creativity" - a place where people of all ages can go to develop their artistic and creative skills. We will be offering a youth theatre program, Music for Young Childen, and are very excited to welcome three additional instructors - Laurel Green (visual arts), Jens Jeppesen (advanced guitar) and Nickolas Lawson (playwrighting and acting).
Our eventual goal is to have a building dedicated to 'everything arts.' We see the tremendous talent in the children of Carleton County - they are expressive, and they deserve creative and cultural opportunities.
These additional programs will mean a few changes for our house - sealing off the studio from the rest of the house, getting a new piano (hurray!!), knocking out the leaky chimney and updating the bathroom. Between this, the garden and a few gigs, this will keep me busy over the summer months.
It is so exciting to be planting a new generation of seeds. I can only imagine what kind of harvest we will reap in the years to come.
