I am very excited to announce our first Guitar Camp at Delta Community Music School, in Ladner British Columbia. The program consists of four days of 1.5 hour group instruction for young guitarists, age 9-14. My goal is to provide an encouraging musical environment where we can focus on building ensemble skills. For registration information and prerequisites, please see the pdf brochure

Spring and summer 2008 promises to be a busy wedding season in Vancouver British Columbia. Last year was a bit of a write-off for many because of the civic strike. Many outdoor locations were just not available, or properly maintained. All those couples that held off last year are chomping at the bit to get hitched. If you haven't booked your location yet, there may be slim pickings. Park

The Ekiga soft phone (ekiga.org) is supplied as part of the Gnome desktop. The default sip provider is, not surprisingly, ekiga.net. The provider currently has limited presence support via a script that you can embed in a web page. Their script will serve up one of two status buttons depending if you are online or not: either a 'call-me button' or an 'offline one.' It does not appear to support

I've been experimenting quite a bit lately with voice over internet, including Skype and a collection of SIP providers. One of those providers is Ekiga.net. Service so far is fine and they offer some limited presence support. They have a script which you can embed in a webpage showing your status, either online or offline. The buttons that appear when you use their script are pretty nice, but a

I am excited to be offering online private music lessons in guitar, music theory, and music history. All you need is a Skype, or SIP account and a webcam.

If your planning a spring or summer wedding and you haven't booked your musicians yet, do it soon! For those that are having a church wedding, the simplest, and most cost effective plan is to use the church organist. If your ceremony is not in a church, you will have to find musicians. Popular instrumental combinations include soloists like classical guitarists or harpists, duos like flute &

As a courtesy to your musicians, you may wish to provide them with a light meal. This is appropriate if they have traveled some distance to play at your function, or will be playing during your dinner. Ask the restaurant host to prepare a lighter version of your meal, or offer the musicians to order off the appetizer/bar menu. During speeches is an excellent time for the musicians to take a
