Check out some of the fun that was had on Music Education Day last week!
Wonderful people, games, and amenities made the day one to remember. Thanks again Music in the Woods for letting us use their fabulous studio!
Thank you to everyone who came to last weekend's Music Education Day!!
Students of all ages were able to get familiar with core musical concepts in so many wonderful ways. Over the course of the day, we enhanced our musical knowledge through sights, sounds, and movements!
This explorative and exciting afternoon was the perfect venue for musicians of all stages to hone their skills. Join us next time for another great educational event!
Some candids from my photoshoot!!
Thank you to Mete, Jiji, and Chris for bringing their invaluable talent and creativity to this project And thank you as well to Music in the Woods for letting us use this gorgeous space!
First, I have to say, my husband would want you to know that he knew Lisa before I did. They ran together with the Park Forest Running and Pancake Club when Lisa was in high school.
So I am "Johnny-come-late-to-the-party" but I fell in love with Lisa when I heard her music. As you know, she plays the harp. She sounds like an angel and she looks like an angel when playing.
Her playing is being heard around the world and Lisa is receiving the acclaim she deserves. But, I also love Lisa for what she does out of the goodness of her heart.
The program book mentions that Lisa often comes to the southern suburbs to raise money for the Suburban Youth Symphony Orchestra and she has done so for Tall Grass. For the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, she conducts seminars in colleges and elementary schools.
She performs concerts in order to raise the money. Lovely concerts, made even more lovely by her explanations of the music and her enthusiasm about answering questions about the harp. Lisa also raises money for the arts in other parts of the country.
Even more touching to me was learning that Lisa shleps her harp to play to patients in a hospital and hospital-hospice. Imagine, an artist of Lisa's caliber playing to an audience of one. Lisa has created a non profit called
"Music in the Woods" through which she now engages other musicians to perform in hospitals and schools.
And she is working to create art & music fairs through her non profit.
Lisa is an impressive musician. But, she is also an impressive human being.
I am so pleased to be able to honor Lisa Tannebaum.

Greetings! Music In The Woods began Musicians Meet Up, a forum to assemble musicians/artists/dancers of all backgrounds under one roof, to discuss and simply enjoy playing music (solo or ensemble), dancing and showcasing their artwork. In March 2020, MITW had a successful, in person Musicians Meet Up. Due to the pandemic, we were forced to close our doors, but it did not stop us from extending the idea to an online forum, where we had several successful Zoom gatherings.
We are excited to announce that we will meet again, via Zoom, on September 24, 2022 at 10AM! We welcome you to come showcase your talent amongst other talented artists.
Topic: Artists Meet Up
Time: Sep 24, 2022 11:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
