Hello Beautiful People!
It is with immense gratitude in my heart, that I go joyfully into 2016. I am embarking (and sometimes barking!) into my second year of being a full-time self-employed musician/artist/educator. I have loved the freedom and discipline of working with so many groups of people this year including homeschoolers, adults with intellectual differences, traditional musicians from many cultures, elementary school children, tweens and teens, adult guitar students, children of African refugees, senior citizens, sound engineers and stage crews, arts educators and administrators, my visual artist and musical peers, and visionary souls from all walks of life.
Special Thanks to The Greenbelt Community Center, The City of Greenbelt, Art Works Now, The Brentwood Arts Exchange, The ARC of Prince George’s County, Fillmore Arts Center, Carpe Diem Arts, The National Council for Traditional Arts, The Smithsonian Institution, The American Folk Festival, and friends, family, and nature. Thanks for the employment, the opportunities, the challenges, the encouragement, and the inspiration!
Cheers and Gratitude,
Rachel
