This
month's message from Deborah ... It's
snowing! Our black cat, Cosita Rashid Trouper
Pushipyjama, is mystified. She's from Seattle - never
saw snow before, and I'm now trying to remember the first
time I did. My mother always made such a huge deal out
of it - like the world was transforming and we had
to see it. First snow - the sense of transformation.
Meanwhile
... Disney's "Princess and the Frog" is about to
hit the theaters. I must admit I was dreading
this moment! More than a decade ago I wrote
my own musical story, "The Frog Princess," performed
it at the Kennedy Center and with symphonies around the US.
When Disney made plans for a movie on the same theme, I felt
like my own Frog Princess was about to get squished!
Well, the big splash has started --- and it's kind of cool!
Suddenly people are really interested in Frog Princesses!
So - wow! It feels like my story now has a big
Disney cousin -- two girls out to fight stereotype
and deal with their inner frogs! And that feels kind
of ... well... warm and froggy! We'll feature
the CD next month, but you can take a sneak peak at our new
Frog Princess website.
We're
having our big annual holiday sale. Last year
many people wanted to give the gift of experience
- a harp lesson, a harp workshop or something I just
call a "Harp Experience." You can read about it
below. Also don't miss my annual holiday giftwrap
tutorial -- downloadable giftwrap and how to wrap CDs
with ONE sheet of letter-size paper! Let me know
how it works!
Oh - and
please take a look at the new demo video
we made! We're still editing it we'd love your comments (good
comments are especially appreciated, so we don't change things
that you like!)
And,
as for me, I'm hunkered down to work on two big production
projects ... er, I mean three. 2010 should be an exciting
ride. In April, at the International Harp Festival in Wales,
I'm publishing a set of jazz-inspired chamber works; in July,
my musical "In the Wings" gets its next workshop
production in Seattle and somewhere in there I'll be working
on a new album. That means I have to start work yesterday!!
So wish me focus and inspiration, and you'll be the first
to know what's happening!

SPECIAL ORDER - GIVE THE "GIFT OF EXPERIENCE"
"Gifts
of Experience:" Lessons - Workshops - The "Harp
Experience": A
gift of experience is a chance for people to DO something
they've never done, something that changes the way they see
their whole life.
FOR
NON-HARPISTS: The "Harp Experience"
This is something we've developed based on many requests from
people who want an "experience" with the harp, but
don't necessarily want to become harp students. One person
gave a "Harp-Experience" to her friend who'd challenged
herself to 30 new adventures! Another just wanted to
see what it felt like - once in his life - to sit behind a
harp and play glissandos. The harp is a spectacular
instrument -- everyone should have a chance to experience
it first-hand - literally! That's the gift of experience.

FOR
HARPISTS: Lessons & Coaching
A master-lesson with Deborah is a great experience, as a single
event or as a series of study. Working with a master teacher
even once can show students a new side of the instrumen they
love.Email

FOR
ALL MUSICIANS: Summer Intensive

for Musicians" summer workshop Aug. 16 - 21 --currently

DOWNLOAD
THE "GIFT SCROLL*":
The "Gift of Experience" is intangible, so you can
download our Gift
Scroll (pdf)* to present your gift immediately!
*The
"Gift Scroll" is really just a nicely decorated
piece of paper, but to make it an actual scroll, roll it up
and tie a ribbon around it. Of course you can do that with
any piece of paper. Assuming it's large enough. But we still
think our "Gift Scroll" is cool. OK - honestly,
it just occurred to us to call it the "Gift Scroll"
when we were making this e-newsletter, so if you see it called
a "Gift Card" or anything else, you can know that
YOU know it's a Gift Scroll, no matter what anyone else calls
it. Even if that 'anyone' is us (i.e. Deborah, Bea, Joy, Catharine
and the Cat)
New

Deborah's
agent, Skyline Music, asked us to make a short video

Outreach)
We're
