Interested in honing your craft as a songwriter? Check this out!

Hello!
Do you know of a special student in high school, college, or from an independent choir who is poised to make an impact in the music world with songwriting?
I have the pleasure of working with aspiring young composers at the Acoustic Music Seminar during the Savannah Music Festival in Savannah, Georgia this year. Sixteen young acoustic musicians will be selected for a week long artist development and mentorship program directed by Mike Marshall.
"Students workshop their own compositions and arrangements with Marshall as well as clinicians Julian Lage, Moira Smiley and Mike Block, present their work to visiting artists such as Jayme Stone, Molly Tuttle, Natalie Haas, Séamus Egan and Alasdair Fraser, and attend performances from artists as diverse as Toumani Diabaté, Rosanne Case and The Goodbye Girls. For more information on the program and how to apply, visit savannahmusicfestival.org/ams or email education@savannahmusicfestival.org."
The deadline to apply is November 15, 2017 at: getacceptd.com/acousticmusicseminar
Very best wishes,
​Moira

Legacy students and parents: 

We received word that the boots are going on sale this week! Here's the relevant portion of her email:  
​
I thought parents may want to know this and not sure if there's a place I can post it, but Target has the Legacy boots on sale this week.  Unfortunately, they did not have many in the store, but we have a Target card, so we get free shipping on orders. I'd be willing to order anyone their boots this week or whenever if they give me the money and their shoe size!  

The cost for them this week (until 10/21) with tax is:  $31.04.   
I also get a discount with my Target card, so even if they aren't on sale, I could still order them cheaper for anyone who'd like me to.  

Make it a great day,
Diane Anderson

Thanks Mrs. Anderson!
If you would like to order them yourself, here's the link. 
​
If you would like her to order them for you, please complete this form. We'll collect the money and Mrs. Anderson will order them next week. 

I will occasionally post tutorial videos explaining a Music Theory concept on the ToneSavvy website. I will usually post those in Google Classroom, but the first two I made are just meant to help you get logged in to the website and complete your first assignments. 
Let me know if you have any questions!
Mr. Barsch
