Dear Ones, October and November are somewhat quieter months for us here at Embodying Rhythm, a time for settling into the fall schedule and weekly classes – see details below on the upcoming Adult Marimba Ensemble Class. Fall is a great time to get into a practice routine. We have a “November Practice Month” challenge to encourage everyone to deepen their relationship to music. Spend 15 minutes a day on practicing in November 2016. Take the challenge as you will or visit Arlyn’s blog (ladyarlyn.wordpress.com) to participate in the online forum – read tips and tricks and share your experiences.
Thank you for helping make our September events such a huge success. Musekiwa Chingodza’s concert and workshops were a great kick-off to this season’s World Music concerts and it was wonderful to bring the Marimba Project and Parade Band to the Harvest Festival. Feel free to check out the new video clips of both the Marimba Project as well as the Parade Band (links below).
The Celtic/classical/world-fusion band FEAST plays their interpretation of Chamber Music during their two-show Western Slope tour in mid-November. Marcin Arendt, violin, Kathryn Mientka, piano, David Alderdice, percussion, Kimberly Patterson, cello, and Benjamin DeKock, bass (details below).
Best Wishes,
Arlyn and David
