One of my pet projects for the summer is to host a 3-day strings workshop. Julie Emig and I started this last year and today was the last day for another successful experience. I love working with Julie and with the kids! I also love three days of pure focus. I get to ignore the rest of my concerns for the time being and have fun with music. It's great to see what the kids can produce in 3 days.

On Tuesday afternoon I gave Gertie and Ian an extra pracitice session. We did about 45 minutes of "compressed practice." They learned music that normally would have taken them a couple of weeks to learn. They were good sports and it was fun for me.
