Hi Folks,

Fall is upon us, and what a lovely summer it was. I got to teach at SongRoots Vocal Camp, Beyond Trad Music Camp and the BC Swing Camp, and also started on the journey of becoming a JHUI certified ukulele teacher. There is lots of work in the year ahead. I'm still working on re-hauling my website, which is run by lil' ol' me, so if you find links or pages that are not working please let me know.

I'm in the process of finalizing my fall schedule, and there are some BIG changes. A few Highlights:  I am no longer taking on any new private students, so that I can focus on my ensemble classes.  FolkHarmonic (for Adults) has been moved to WEDNESDAYS at the Dove Creek Hall, and I will be traveling to Sointula/Port McNiell twice a month to offer a roots choir, ukulele classes and some private music lessons.

Frazer and I are doing well, we've been canning and pickling up a storm, and filling the pantry shelves for the winter ahead. Our family has grown by one puppy... whose name is Nicks (Stevie Nicks). There will be fewer medical absences this coming year, so I'm hoping that things will be able to develop a steady rhythm.

All in all, things a grand, but busy, and as always I'm behind on emails. Tis the life.

All the best,
Ali
