            Wendy Songe, award winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, poet, performer, teacher and nationally touring musician from Tulsa, Oklahoma, will offer music classes and share her talents in concert during a visit to DuBois on Friday, August 10.

Songe will be offering classes and performing at Christ Lutheran Church, Sunflower Drive, DuBois. The church is handicapped accessible. The following hour-long classes will be offered:

10 a.m. Beginner guitar and ukelele. A combined class focusing on easy chord charts, tab, strum patterns, finger picking, fretting, harmonics, tuning care and more.

11:15 a.m. Easy essential theory for all instruments/all levels including time sitnature, note values, endings and repeat signs, and dynamic markings. The ability to read music is not necessary to take this class.

2 p.m. Dynamite dynamics for all instruments/all levels with emphasis on making music more expressive, identifying and sculpting the many voices of an instrument and learning dynamic notation.

3:15 p.m. Touch and techniques for all levels of mountain dulcimer. Technique instruction will including smoothing out playing for gentle tunes, chopping it up for spunky tunes, and adding texture and variety through embelishments.

Suggested donations are $20 per person for one workshop; $35 per person for two workshops, $45 for three workshops, and $50 for all four workshops. For additional information and to make reservations for the workshops, telephone 814-371-4627 between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily.

Songe will conclude her day in DuBois with a concert at 5 p.m. in the social hall at Christ Lutheran Church. The concert is open to everyone.  A free-will donation for the performer is customary.

Born in North Carolina and raised in Oklahoma, where she currently lives, Songe performs on diverse instruments featuring cultures and songs from across the globe.

Classically trained in piano from the age of five, Songe’s foundation in music has paved her way to other instruments, including guitar, ukulele, mountain dulcimer, mandolin, djembe, bodhran, Celtic whistle, native flute and more.  Her songwriting, poetry, vocal and instrumental proficiency have earned her multiple state, regional and national awards.

She promotes music education, teaching private, group and online lessons to students of every age and experience level. She also volunteers her time and talent, giving hundreds of hours of hands-on music enrichment to disabled adults, through her Pay-it-Forward initiative with community non-profit outreach agencies.

Songe tours the country extensively, sharing her music with audiences and students everywhere. Her music has been featured on radio, television, in print, and at many of the finest music festivals in the United States.

She has released two solo albums: “Test Drive,” a compilation of traditional and Celtic tunes arranged for mountain dulcimer; and “Driven,” a blend of multiple instruments and genres written by Songe, and featuring guitar, mountain dulcimer, piano, vocals, and native flute.

Hello, Colleen,

   See the note below from Wendy Songe.  As you’ll read, the workshops/concert on Monday, August 14, in DuBois, are now canceled.   Please pass this information along to your students and patrons.  Wendy asks for prayers, and we can certainly do that for her.  The Wendy I've known from workshops is a lively ball of energy; the illness that's gotten her down must be wicked.  Please keep her in your thoughts.

Subject:   August workshops


Dear Ginny,

I regret to send you such tragic news, but I must. I have been living on the road and touring my music for the summer since the beginning of June.  The last few weeks though, I haven't been feeling myself at all and decided to return home to seek answers. It turns out, I have a medical issue that requires immediate attention and the outcome is uncertain. At this time, I have been faced with a very difficult decision to cancel all of my remaining gigs and tour dates for the remainder of 2017. I am so very sorry for this inconvenience, as I know both you and your husband have worked diligently to make our August club workshop day a big success. It is NOT in my nature to cancel on my responsibilities and I have NEVER canceled a gig in all the years I have been touring. Unfortunately though, I am without other options at this time. Prayers are appreciated. I certainly appreciate you and hope that my circumstances will not burden you. 

In harmony,
🎶 Wendy Songe

Colleen,

So glad you were able to attend our Day with Nina Zanetti.  I, too, had a great time, and learned much.  I'm glad it was worth your effort--yours was a long drive that day!

Ginny

Colleen, that's awesome that your group played at the nursing home today! I have played at different ones a few times over the years...they are a wonderful audience...and SO appreciative of your music. The gift you give them is much more than the music! And the gift to you is so much more than making and sharing music!Keep strumming and smiling!Cindy

Hi Colleen, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn and exchange ideas about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.

Welcome, Colleen, to this little corner of dulcimer heaven. Friendly folks, yep, a bunch of them here. Knowledgeable? You'll have to be the judge of that. Ask your questions in a discussion, chat or email to a "friend;" you'll probably get more responses than you bargained for. LOL. Hope you enjoy it here.
