It's been a very eventful and fruitful year so far. Every week has been filled with lessons, rehearsals and performances. I've had twelve concerts already this year--either performing or conducting or both--with many more before the Spring season is over. All my groups have been playing great and I am very proud of them all!
Worship services at St. Mark's are going well too. It has been about a year since I began recording backing tracks for use during the Praise service. As of now I have 85 songs recorded, each one having 3-4 tracks. I've learned a lot about the process and have become more adventurous and creative with my arrangements & compositions. It is something that I definitely enjoy and it really helps fill out the sound of the Praise Band.
And, of course, I can't forget to mention my (our) best composition to date: Elmer Maughan Perry. My son was born on January 21st, 2012 and he has been the greatest blessing God has yet given us (which are many!). He is already in love with music. He loves to listen to us sing and he's got quite a voice himself too. Now, I have to start him on an instrument. The question is, what will it be? Piano? Violin? Guitar? Flute? Trombone? I will be pleased no matter what he chooses to do with music.
Happy Spring everyone!
