Last night, we had the pleasure of hearing a performance by an saxophonist that I have had the pleasure of teaching and then following his progress at university. Jeffrey Leung has had a number of performances that we have seen and this was the latest. The piece was Escapades for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra from the Dreamworks Film "Catch Me if you Can". What a wonderful piece played with such skill by Jeffrey.
We are looking forward to his next performance. It won't be until next year since he is off to Iowa to study with a renowned saxophonist, Dr. Kenneth Tse and then maybe follow up with a Masters from there.
Fascinating what students can do if they set their mind to it and are willing to go explore options.

Che ce'di nuovo: from our Italian classes-what's new. I hope to write about what's new in my life and also what I find of interest that is new. Will be interesting to explore the everyday and look at it with new eyes.

About Me
- Bassoon Woman
- Despite the fact that I have been playing the bassoon since I was 13 years old, there are people who will be surprised by the name Bassoon Woman. Some of these people would be my tennis partners who only know me as an eager opponent on the tennis court. I am living proof that you can get better as you as age. At least, I think that I am playing better (they accepted me on one of the club teams last year.) Members of the garden club where I attend sessions designing florelle centre pieces, are always surprised to see me at performances. My next performance is at Colborne Lodge in High Park, we are playing a return engagement celebrating spring on March 20. Hopefully, it will be springlike. These are just a few of the activities that occupy my time. After 30 years of teaching fulltime, I now work part-time teaching music in a high school. Wonderful experience. I am looking forward to exploring the many experiences fill my days. noramr2@gmail.com
