January
Meeting: Native American Flute Music for the Recorder
DATE: Sunday, January 16, 2011 Erin and Dave will bring (and play!) Native American flutes and give us recorder players a chance to play some hauntingly beautiful Native American tunes on our recorders. Another chance to broaden your musical horizons! They will be presenting a variety of tunes from the following
source books: More information about playing the Native American Flute can
be found in the above books, as well as: Our Leaders for This Meeting Erin Bell has studied music since early childhood and holds a BA in Music from Colorado College. She has had a serious relationship with the recorder since about the age of 13. David Bell has a Master of Music and Graduate Diploma in composition from New England Conservatory. He leads the choir at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Denver, serves as Music Director for the Golden Concert Choir, and teaches music to K-3 students at the St. Elizabeth’s School in Denver. Both Bells are regular performers with the Raven Dancers, an intercultural group that celebrates traditional Native American Powwow dancing, singing, and storytelling. Their love for Native American flute music grew from combining their interests in music and Native American culture. President's Message Bruce will be producing the Directory this month, and there are still a few people who have not registered for the 2010/2011 season. Dues are only $20, and that covers the season of which you are enjoying the midpoint. We had sixty-one registered members last year, and any less would be a vote of no confidence. Paul has put together a terrific series of Sunday afternoons for us, and he deserves our approval. There is a Transmittal Form appended to this Newsletter. Please fill it out and send it per the instructions, maybe now while you're thinking about it. Thanks. That way, you will be in the Directory. -- Dick Munz Members in Good Standing Louise Adler, Karen Anderson, Shirley Baker, Jann Benson, Rebecca Beshore, Roberta Blanc, Paul Brunson, Jon Casbon, Bill Conklin, Virginia Cortes, Lynda Coy, Charles Dana, Keith Emerson, Mike & Cathy Emptage, Barbara Fahey, Nancy Fey, Judy Fritz, Rosemary Glista, Elaine Granata, Barbara Grenoble, Pam Grotegrut, Janet Handmaker, Patrick Heid, Chris Hollingsworth, Eve Johnson, John M.
