For a couple of years, I've been taking singing lessons weekly from Karen, the director of the music clinic. I sing in a choral group and a church choir, both of which I'm enjoying more as my ability has increased under Karen's tutelage. She is patient, observant, and creative in picking up what needs to be taught, and doing so in a way that is confidence building.
I also take private trumpet/flugel horn lessons at the Clinic from Mary, and play in the New Horizons band which she directs there. The Band rehearses twice weekly, with 5 trumpet players, 8 clarinets, sax, 3 flutes, tuba, trombone, two drums, etc. The clinic staff provides individual lessons in all these instruments. We are about 2 years old as a band, are performing in numerous settings and communities, are having fun together in rehearsals and performances, and are enjoying the impressive competence that has evolved under Mary's leadership. Along with my fellow music students, I feel profound appreciation for the Music Clinic and its creative contribution to the enjoyment and quality of life of citizens in the Lakes Region.
