New class offerings to enrich students interested in new music and healthy performance practices!

First, a brand new class called "Music & Movement" that encompasses movement, yoga, stretching, and performance techniques. It looks great and will be happening on Saturday mornings. This class is a collaboration of movement specialist, Laurel Sears, and violinist/educator, Amelia Thornton.

Check it out here:

Secondly, the next round of the "Creative Music Ensemble" is currently enrolling. This class is a collaboration of Naomi Siegel and Wave & Circuit here in Missoula. It draws from Jazz, Afro-Cuban music and other improvised music traditions to develop rhythm/groove, listening, interacting, dynamics, theory, and phrasing.

What can I say? These kids ROCKED Out To Lunch today at Caras Park. Both the Cello Mafia and Viol Conspiracy played and were in top form. I'm beaming like a proud parent of...uh...26 kids? They're all fantastic and an integral part of the musical fabric that makes these tunes so fun.
Many thanks to Downtown Missoula Partnership for having us. Huge thanks to Anna Walter for her leadership in Viol Conspiracy. Thanks to Dr. Adam Collins and David Harmsworth for adding their expertise to Cello Mafia today. Thanks to Amelia Thornton and Pam Hillygus for their wonderful talents in Viol Conspiracy. Thanks to Jeremy Drake for playing guitar today and Lydia Garrick and Gabe Kantor for being our student leaders. Bravo to all!

This summer the Cello Mafia split into two groups. Each group worked on their own music, along with several mixed group tunes, and are excited to share what they've prepared. Both groups perform arrangements of current and classic pop hits made specifically for the performers involved. We have a blast putting this music onto our instruments and we can't wait to perform for you!

Not certain about our longevity factor, but we sure support the 4 R's! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and ROCK. We will be honoring Earth Day and celebrating our mothership this Sunday, April 22nd at MUD. This day promises to be chock-full of family fun, goodies, food, and education on how we can lighten our collective footprints!

It was a rainy Autumn day in Missoula and so I thought a Sarabande might be the right fit. I hope you can find enjoyment in it, whatever your weather!
