That Itch To Jive Whether you’re a professional musician, someone looking to start a new hobby, or a parent with a child starting their band experience, then you’ll need a friend in the music industry. Not a recording artist or producer, no, you’ll want a place you can go to for parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, not to mention musical scores. […]

Because I am a former music teacher, that art form will always be something that resonates with me on an intense level. When I happened upon this enterprising musician, Stephanie Grace, I chose to reach out to her for an interview, and in spite of her incredibly busy schedule, she was refreshingly prompt in agreeing to answer a few questions […]

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE….In theaters 3/16/18 (U.S. & Canada) Synopsis: It’s the song that brings ultimate hope to so many … often in the midst of life’s most challenging moments.

Music is part of our everyday lives. The style and sounds of music vary according to cultural and personal preferences. In the United States, many public school systems have cut back on their arts programs that include budget cuts for music teachers.

Recently, I had the opportunity to review an album from a Christian music group with whom I was completely unfamiliar. That seems to happen quite regularly now as I’m not always […]

I happened to be watching one of last year’s new favorite Christmas movies–Finding Father Christmas–and for whatever reason, the music suddenly captivated me. I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed it before. In my opinion, music which accompanies made-for-TV movies all too often leaves much to be desired. But with this film, the music is an impeccable complement to the […]

There is a show touring the country this season, and it is called The Forgotten Carols. There is a good chance that one is coming near to you. Never heard of this group before? Well, let me […]

I will admit, before this promotion, I had never heard of this artist. I was so happy to be sent a copy of this album for review because I love discovering new and talented artists, and if they are inspirational, so much the better!

I watched Cedar Cove from its inception on the Hallmark Channel, and most of the cast knew me as a loyal viewer and supporter.
