Week 3 totals

This has been an incredibly hard week in my home town.

Here's why...

And one of my students, a year younger than Braylee in school, wrote a song in her memory, going to try and post it here

She'll make the list this week, being awarded 100 points, 50 for performing and 25 for writing a song and 25 for uploading it to the internet for others to share :)

With that I'd like to say how I believe music is therapeutic and helpful in times of distress, I personally am grateful for it in my own life and hope my students use it to help them cope during times of duress. May God be with each of you this summer! All my love, Ms. Lori

Cherry Berry Singing

With my vocal students this year we are adding an exciting recital. A night unplugged at Cherry Berry in Duncan. The objective is to enjoy a nice evening of uplifting and fun music in a the non threatening coffee house atmosphere. Most songs will be accompanied by guitar. Tentative Date is Feb. 17th at 7 pm but that is subject to change.

While you wait did you know youtube overs a variety of karaoke songs to sing to?

Here are some links



Just a few to get you thinking...got a favorite song? search on you tube with the title and add the word karaoke to it It makes a great family night activity!

Christmas Recital

We played at the Chisholm Trail Assisted Living Center on Dec. 12th this year...






Some of my students also played at the Velma Christmas Dinner on Dec. 19th , I regrettably have no photos from that night :(
