The Drummer Girl Gets a run!
I'm so excited to say that The Drummer Girl will be playing a 12 show engagement Feb 12-22, 2014 at the Firehall Arts Centre where it first premiered! An actual run...now we're getting serious! I love this theatre and had a wonderful time premiering the show there, so it's exciting to get the chance to get another...actually a bunch of...kicks at the can!
I have (almost) the same wonderful band joining me for this series and prices are affordable enough that it's a no-brainer! If you missed it the last two times, don't fret...Wed Feb 12, 8pm is opening night
Showtimes:
Tues-Fri 8pm
Sat 5 and 9pm
Sat 2pm

Start the New Year Dancing To A Different Drummer....YOU!

I'm offering an adult beginners' hand drumming and percussion workshop at my home studio, Drummer Girl Studios, in Alpine Meadows, Whistler starting in the new year.
We'll cover the basics of technique on a variety of hand drums including djembes and small percussion instruments, work on our overall ability to keep good time and groove, and then learn various world beat rhythms to play along to. You don't need to know how to read music. I have a notation system that's very easy to understand even for the non-initiated! You also don't need your own instruments, although please bring a hand drum along if you do own one! And depending on the interest of the class, I could also cover some basic snare drum as well. I've been teaching classes and workshops to kids and adults for over 25 years now. I also taught group piano classes for children at Tom Lee Music for a dozen years and was the International Education Consultant for Yamaha Canada for several years. And I've taught beginner piano to adults at Vancouver Community College. So I have LOTS of experience teaching to groups of all ages, and make my lessons a good combination of challenge and fun. You'll DEFINITELY enjoy the format and walk away with a good handle on playing hand drums and percussion instruments! Come out and enjoy something new next year!
