Text Box: Summer Classes!!! Beginning guitar, music reading, music theory and composition and jamming basics! Check out the Seminars and Classes page for more information. Classes begin June 24th. The Strawberry Festival Karaoke Contest is June 5, 7 & 8. Preliminaries are Thursday evening at 7 pm and Saturday at 1 pm. You only need to go to one preliminary, but you may go to both. Finals are Sunday at 2 pm. It would be best to have two songs prepared. Amateurs only. We have the opportunity to perform at the Corvallis Artisans’ Market on June 28th, from 10 am to noon. You can accompany yourself (I strongly encourage this!!!), or sing with background CDs. All styles are welcome, but remember that the audience is generally 30+, so choose your music accordingly. We will have a tip jar out, so you could earn some money. The Star Spangled Celebration in Lebanon on the 4th of July is having a karaoke contest again this year. They are planning on having 3 age divisions again, basically kids, teens and adults. We are not going to try to perform on the stage this year. It was too hard to do that and the karaoke contest. We have another performance opportunity at the Marion County Fair, Saturday, July 12th at 7 pm! There is also be a talent contest open to all county residents at the Fair the 10th or 11th and finals on the 12th before our performance, so you’ll be able to do both. The Benton County Fair Karaoke Contest will probably have preliminaries every Wednesday in July at Woodstock’s Pizza in Corvallis. This is a big contest that draws a lot of singers, but it’s a pretty good contest. There are two age divisions—16 and under, 17 and over (I think). Don’t forget the Benton County Fair Talent Contest, too, if you’re a Benton County resident. Webpages—private students can have a page on my website. What I need from you for the page are pictures, a bio, performances, fun facts. I’ll help you write the bio. Pictures can be professional (make sure you have the right to use them on the site) or snapshots. I have a professional photographer that I recommend. We can organize a group photo shoot to save money, if enough of you are interested. Those of you who will be seniors next year may want to consider using her for your senior portraits, too.
