The Practice Shop Free Printables

Looking for some summer inspiration to keep the practicing going?

Check out The Practice Shop! Click Free Downloads here or at the top of the Practice Shoppe homepage, then all you need to do is print and play! Quick and painless fun. Create a new practice chart together, keep track of all review pieces played (maybe working towards an ice cream treat, beach day, new book etc), get crazy and play pieces on one foot, with tongue sticking out, etc. The possibilities are endless. Try something new this summer and keep the fun of practicing going!

They also have a great shop of bead counters, dice, stickers, and other music accessories, with a flat rate shipping cost of $11 to Canada.

I've just placed an order to try out their fingerboard tapes so I'll give you feedback shortly on product quality, shipping speed, customer service, etc. So far so good!

Celtic Shift at the London Music Club

Check your calendars! I'll be playing with Celtic Shift at the London Music Club on Friday June 20th, doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8:00. Tickets are $10 at the door. 

I've been having so much fun rehearsing and performing with this group. Join me along with pianist Steve Holowitz, whistler David Nuttall and percussionist Greg Mainprize for an evening filled with Celtic traditions fused my many other musical styles. 

Last Call for Fiddle Camp Registration!

Join me on July 7th-12th from 10:00-11:30 in the morning to learn some fiddle tunes, dance steps, percussion rhythms, harmony composition and theory training!

I am in the process of getting a 'gig' lined up for the Saturday at a local nursing/retirement home so we can share what we've learned with the community. Parents are welcome to attend the recital.

Registration is $90 for the week. All music will be provided, you will be able to access recordings of all the music here under the fiddle tab on this site, and all classes will take place at my house!

Bring your violins, a binder for music, pencils and erasers, and an open mind to try some new things!

E-mail or call me right away if you are interested in filling the last few spots. 

Fiddle Classes will be back in the fall for another 8 week session on Saturdays from 1:30-2:30.
