Alison S. Barr Music

The students below participated beautifully in a South Shore Music Teachers Association “Music of the Americas” recital on Sunday, March 13.  Now that things are starting to be back in-person again, there will be more of these special opportunities coming up for others!

Music played was by Betty Jackson King, Robert Vandall, Oswald Russell, Valerie Capers and Lena McLin.

You can not imagine how moved and exciting it was to have in-person Winter Recitals at House of Prayer Lutheran in Hingham. The playing was stupendous and the artwork was so original and thoughtful, portraying each piece performed so well! Thanks to Lauren, Rebecca, Allie, Liam, Sean, Christian, David Sr., Diana (above) and Kathryn, Amara, Micah, Rebecca, Guy, Bob, Eliza, Winter, Linux, Clayton and Naomi (below). Thanks, Rebecca, for playing twice and thank you to the Anderson Family and friends for helping with the piking up afterwards!

What a wonderful and exciting experience this was. On Sunday, January 9, 2022, we were all captivated by Kate Bass. She led us through all the in’s and out’s of songwriting – structure, lyrics, harmony, melody. We all wrote some lyrics, led by Kate’s prompts. It was pretty amazing what we came up with! I think many will continue putting their new lyrics to melodies. We’ll definitely have a follow-up in the spring. Thank you, Kate!

About 50 students of seven teachers played throughout the day, on December 13, 2021, at House of Prayer Lutheran Church in Hingham. Our studio participants were: Allie, Sean, Kathryn, Christian, Rebecca, Bob, Naomi, Clayton, Eliza, Micah, Amara, Linux, Winter, Jim, David Sr., David Jr. and Diana. Guy was prepared to play but was unable to do so. We raised over $4000 for Father Bill’s & MainSpring. I especially thank all who donated and David Won Sr., who catapulted us over the top with a second, very generous contribution. So much appreciated at this time of year.
