Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival

[Shelia Lee]

I am on my last day in Alaska at the University of Alaska - at their 2 week long summer arts festival. WOW - what a time!!! I have had 15 participants in the Accordion program - from beginners to Intermediate to Improv and the Accordion Ensemble.

We performed last night WITH the Brass Ensemble and brought the house down!!! We did Moonlight Serenade and My Boyfriend's Back. By ourselves we did Godfather and Down by the Sally Garden.

I used all my material that was developed last year with Texas Accordion Net - for PH Book 3 - and the participants loved it!

NOW I am inspired to get to work on PH Book 4 - for this fall. AND we will be including "THE BLUES" with all the Companion Selections and exercises - so Please stay tuned!!!

Please see photos I have posted.
