A New Season of Music

And so, I am back directing and teaching all six of my choral groups. Six you say!? Absolutely: The Anything Goes Chorus (one in Oakland and two in San Francisco), Swingshift Singers, Treble Makers and Girlfriendz. Oh yes, and then there's one more: a Master Class in Solo Singing that I offer a few times a year. That actually makes seven then. Every other choral director I mention this to looks at me like I must be out of my mind to take on such a Herculean task. I am, but I love what I do. Working with music and singing every day, and being the guide and cheer leader for singers to find their own voice and fill the planet with harmony---what could be better? Well, perhaps singing in my own performance. But the work I get to do IS indeed a blessing to me.

My own show is coming in October and I will move aside all the needs and questions and concerns and emails of my students to make time for myself and my own voice. Charts to write, lyrics to memorize, melodies to solidify, set lists to prepare, rehearsals to schedule - and then of course charts to rewrite...on and on and on. I can't wait.

I do love singing!
