Student Kate and I were playing some duets at the end of her book a couple weeks ago and they sounded so great that I decided to hit record. She’s been taking lessons for about nine months and is doing beautifully! One of my very favorite things about being a musician is experiencing the joy of chamber music (i.e., small ensembles). Duets like these give even young students the chance to take part in the absolute joy of playing with others.

Today is a cold and rainy day in this area, but the spring weather will be here to stay soon. Until then, I give you the appropriately titled, “In the Bleak Midwinter.”
