Message from Carolena

 

Greetings!
Fall is here and we have some treats for you!

...

We are hard at work editing Vol. 9 Anatomy of a Step and the revised Vol. 3 Zils Yin and Yang. You can pre-order now for a $5 discount.
We anticipate release December 2011.

...

The Friday shows at Tannourine Restaurant are a great success. Next show is Friday 21 Oct. Come see us in San Mateo, it's a great event (and there's plenty of parking!)

...

I'm almost done traveling for the year. Whew! Find me in CT, Taiwan, Australia and Las Vegas before the end of 2011. Plus Wendy and Sandi will delight in Italy. 

Look

here for these events and what's going on in 2012..  


Enjoy!

Zils, or Finger Cymbals are an exciting element to add to the dance, but they can be difficult to master.  

The key to success is repetition without stress.

 

Join Carolena for a workshop that will explain:

Which zils are best for you

Yin and Yang-the ergonomics of playing your zils

Feeling the pulse of the music

Playing three basic patterns and two specialty patterns
