What's New with Marsha - Spring 2003
Dear Friends,
I am delighted to have a web site and the opportunity to
share globally the work I do as a performer and teacher.
Throughout the year, I will write a letter in the "what's
new" section to let you know what is going on as I
continue to build communities with music.
In February 2003 I had the joy and honor to be a part of
Folk Alliance as a community outreach performer. A great
time was had by all at the Green Hills Library in Nashville,
Tennessee where I shared music from Australia and Africa.
Also, in that same month I spent a day with students (grades
1-6) and staff at Visions School in Clear Lake, Washington.
In the one day event, I demonstrated wind instruments currently
played in school bands & symphonies as well as the ancient
sounds of the Didjeridoo. I also taught several African
songs with rhythm accompaniment on shekeres, bell, clave,
thumb pianos and different drums. We concluded that day
with an all school gathering where students and staff shared
the things they had learned in songs, stories and instrument
playing.
March 1st I had the honor of performing in Yakima with
recording engineer, friend and talented musician Bill Corral.
March 15, I shared an evening performance at a house concert
with friend and gifted Seattle songwriter, singer, musician,
Bruce Blood.
While I am saddened and grieved by the world events at
this time, I am reminded daily of my calling to build communities
and peace through music. In fact, the day after the events
of September 11th two years ago I wrote the song, "Lay
Your Burdens Down" which I will share in a very special
concert on May 9th with Bill Corral and several of my
private students. The concert is being promoted by the East
West Book Store in Seattle and will be an evening of inspiration
and hope to honor peace and the music of many cultures as
well as songs from my CD "Sing
My Way Home."
In May, I will return to the studio and begin recording
my second CD which will
feature some new original songs, several of my younger
students singing as well as stories and music from around
the world.

listen carefully! They will teach you about the lost world
of carefree living in the present moment!" Author

Please check my schedule
for current concerts, school residencies and workshops.
Blessings of peace and joy to you all!
