Playing Opportunity: Fort Thomas Holiday Walk

The Fort Thomas Holiday Walk will be on Sunday, December 2, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. Students from my studio can play holiday selections by signing up for a 1/2 hour slot. Email me to let me know if you would like to participate.

This is a really fun opportunity for people who like to play holiday tunes and only four or five selections need to be prepared. You simply rotate through the music as people walk through the academy site. I've had students in previous years enjoy playing for this event; it's pretty low-pressure and it's also good exposure for the academy. If you want, you can also share a slot with a friend or sibling.

(This event has also been added to my Important Dates 2007-08 post.)

Want to be in an Opera Production?

Cincinnati Opera is looking for some "extras" for the 2007 summer season (specifically from June 14 through July 31). If you're 8-12 years of age, unexperienced, and stage-hungry, this might be the gig for you! I found out about this from Janelle Gelfand's blog. You don't have to sing but you get to be on stage with some pretty big stars and work with world-class opera directors. Plenty of adults are also needed, so some of you more extroverted parents could get up on stage and bring honor (or shame) to your good family name. 

Here's a link to the open casting call page at the Cincinnati Opera website. The casting call is April 30. Look at the details and take advantage of a wonderful summer opportunity!
