Begin noticing and being careful about keeping your imagination free of thoughts that you do not wish to materialize. Instead, initiate a practice of filling your creative thoughts to overflow with ideas and wishes that you fully intend to manifest. Honor your imaginings regardless of others seeing them as crazy or impossible. ~ Wayne Dyer

Contact: BOTH Marya Katz AND Terry Lefler to reserve your spot

See additional details from Marya below:

We are ON for the annual MLK day hammered dulcimer workshop on January 15th, at College Park Baptist Church. Our theme this year will be "Red, White, and Blue" - we'll do some chord exploration and ornamentation/embellishments to provide "color" in a melody.  

The building will be open by 8:30 am for everyone to meet, greet, and tune (if you didn't arrive in tune, but of course that wouldn't happen...right?).  Coffee, tea, water,  and a few goodies will probably be available at that time.  The first session begins at 9:00, and we will break for lunch around noon.  The second session begins around 1:00 pm, going until 3:30.  $60 will cover the cost of the workshop, all handouts, AND lunch.  I'll also have a few of my books and CDs available for purchase in case your library is in need of more music!

Terry Lefler will be in charge of taking lunch orders within the next week, so if you would - please send your affirmative response to this notice to both of us (terrylefler@gmail.com) AND (maryakatz@gmail.com) so that he'll know to contact you with the lunch choices, and I'll know to bring enough handouts, etc.

I've already heard from several of you, so I know we'll be having a great time playing music together.  Just in case you've forgotten, our theme this year will be "Red, White, and Blue" - we are going to do some more chord exploration and ornamentation/embellishments (to provide "color" in a melody).  

Looking forward to seeing you - and of course, invite anyone else you can think of to come along (just forward this email to anyone not in the "To" list above so they'll get this message).  I try to gear my workshops for all levels of hammered dulcimer playing so everyone should feel comfortable that day.

Smiles to all,

Marya

 p.s.  A little extra gift to anyone who actually wears red, white, and blue!

Great people do things before they're ready. They do things before they know they can do it. Doing what you're afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that - that's what life is. You might be really good. You might find out something about yourself that's really special... and if you're not good, who cares? You tried something. Now you know something about yourself.  ~ Amy Poehler
