Waseca Jazz Festival

Waseca is hosing their 15th annual Jazz festival March 12. One of the things I always look forward to is when schools bring a guest artist to work with students and play with them on the concert. This year Cuban Pianist Nachito Herrera will be joining students on the stage. Other schools performing at the Jazz festival are: Waseca Jazz I and Jazz II, New Prauge, and Loyola. The Southern Minnesota Real Big Band will also perform. I am looking forward to listening to each group!

Smart Music

I am pleased to announce that the Madelia Department of Music now has Smart Music!!! This is a program that allows you to play your instrument with the computer. It also tracks your progress and gives feedback on the performance. Smart music is a great tool for all musicians and I look forward to showing you how to use it!
