play-in at the playground

Hello out there,
I'm on fire for fiddle music and all I want to do is play. The music school I've been going to, Creative arts for Kids, is having a tough time financially so I decided to try and do a fundraiser. I'm going sit at a couple of the local playgrounds and play for the kids. I'll have a donation box available for the chance donation. I got a permit from the town where I live and I'm hoping some of the other music students will show up to play whatever. If not, I'm going solo. Well not completely solo because my husband has been trying to learn guitar to accompany me and one of my daughters loves to sing so we'll have fun at the least. I'll be playing for the next 2 or 3 Saturdays so I'll let you know how it goes. I'll be at Hunt park and Washington park in Reading MA if anyone is near enough to come. Contact me if your interested.

Well I thought I'd let you know that it was lots of fun. The first Sat I played alone, literally, in a nice shady park.( My family couldn't make it that day). I play a bunch of tunes on my violin from American Fiddle Method, some Irish and Scottish tunes and some from the the fake book here at BGC. The other park had a few kids and that was better to have someone listening and enjoying.

The second Saturday I had my teacher fiddling with me and my brother who plays guitar. That was the best. We were alone for the most part in the shady park and we filled the morning breeze with music. My family came and hung out for a bit.

No funds were raised but I think Creative Arts got some exposure. Also, my teacher and I will try to have our lessons down at the shady park when it's nice out. I highly recommend trying to play outside if you have not ventured out yet.
