Harmony for Humanity

The purpose of this blog was to keep students, their families, and my friends aware of what is going on in my professional life. As I begin my retirement, the purpose will change.

I grew up in a wonderful town, Harvey, Illinois and had wonderful music teachers; I attended a number of universities, but DePauw and Loyola had the most impact on me. I enjoy finding old friends from New Orleans now, especially after H. Katrina.

Thanks for a great Summer Camp!

On behalf of the instructors and myself, I'd like to thank the 75 students who partook of this unique program. Our two orchestras learned quite a bit of new music, and some good sounds were made. Basses, next year make sure you sign up EARLY so you can have an instrument; we had 14 bass students this summer! I've just returned from the Texas Orchestra Directors Convention in San Antonio (100+ degree weather was unbelievable!) with new ideas and the freshest music possible. I look forward to the beginning of the school year on August 10th.

Do you have any summer orchestra camp for middle schoolers? My daughter plays cello at Cooper MS and would like to go to an orchestra camp. GYSO only takes 9th graders and up. Can you help me?
Thanks,
Cecile
