00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>It's time now to visit with mary Lynn min from

3
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>okam Music and Mary Lynn. The holidays are in full swing.

4
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>We just wrapped up our Saint Nicholas Day just a

5
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>few days ago, and then now we've got something really cool,

6
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe one of the first of its kind, coming up

7
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 1>on Friday the thirteenth.

8
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>We do Tom good Morning, I wish you a merry Christmas,

9
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and we have a very special merry musical Christmas concert

10
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 2>coming up this Friday, on December thirteenth. It is Friday

11
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>the thirteenth, but it's going to be a merry musical

12
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Friday the thirteenth at seven pm. It is at First

13
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Presbyterian Church, which is located at five of five South

14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Dewey Avenue, right across from the Okan Music Office. And

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>we are having a special concert featuring our very own

16
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 2>Ocean Music youth keyboard Orchestra. And we are still excited.

17
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 2>And to your point, I had mentioned last week that

18
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>some all of the research that we can look into

19
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 2>and sort of talking to Yamaha, we think that we

20
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>are the first youth full youth keyboard orchestra ensemble in

21
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.159
<v Speaker 2>America certly in this region, but we haven't been able

22
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>to plan any other ensembles that are truly just keyboard orchestra,

23
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>and so we are very excited. These instruments are remarkable.

24
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>They allow a students to play as if they were

25
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>in a seventiesius orchestra and it sounds like it. It's

26
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool. So we invite everyone in the community to

27
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 2>come out for the special free concerts. It's performed by

28
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Bartlefield's very own students throughout the community that range an

29
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 2>age from seven years old. We do have one dad

30
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>that we're typical to have in this youth keyboard orchestra.

31
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>His daughter started taking piano for Luca's Steel, fell in

32
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>love with the piano and then just wanted to see

33
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>if you could also play with the orchestra. And we're

34
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>excited to have that because our next goal, after getting

35
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 2>the use of keyboard orchestra off the ground, is to

36
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>start actually in adult keyboard orchestra so that we get

37
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 2>full use of these wonderful instruments that are also incredibly expensive.

38
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Each keyboard is around ten thousand dollars, so you can

39
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 2>imagine that when you are putting all these instruments together,

40
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and you have to put all the sound equipment together.

41
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 2>It gets very extensive, very quickly. So we definitely want

42
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>to bring everyone out so they can see these remarkable instruments,

43
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 2>see these amazing students. Lisa Steel and Tappy Stewart are

44
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>our instructors, and so those who don't know who they are,

45
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>they are two of the most talented, most lovely instructors

46
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>that I have ever been privileged to work with. Lisa

47
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 2>teach piano Kathy, I believe teacher's boys, along with also

48
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>string instrumentation, and I'm not sure what her womens are.

49
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>She seems to know how to do so much in

50
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>the musical world. Of of course, she I think is

51
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 2>also with the director over a music director over at

52
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>First Presbyterian Church. So both of these ladies are fantastic

53
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>and phenomenal. Their students love them and learn so much

54
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>from them. The concert will be conducted by Maestro Mark Beckliff.

55
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 2>We're excited to have him back. He conducted our first

56
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>keyboard orchestra concert at the festival with these students and

57
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 2>he is now returning and we're so glad to have

58
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 2>him back. And if I might, Tom, I just wanted

59
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>to give a shout out to all of our students

60
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>who are playing, because I don't know if they get

61
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 2>to hear their name over the radio. But if that's

62
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>the case, can I give them a shout out? Let's

63
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>do that, all right? We have Addie Brown, Vincent Chin,

64
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Heidi Droje, Daisy Droje, Nick Do and Naya Gonna Sakara. TJ.

65
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 2>This is the dad Gonna Sakara, Kaylie Khan at least

66
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 2>from Sorry, Alice Later, Coorra Miller, Sebastian Miller, Malan Wynns,

67
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Adeline Nightingale, Jojo Mee and Joe Knee, Andrew pan hard

68
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Of Shay, Alice Lou, Eric Loue, Andy Zoe, and Andrew Zoo.

69
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And so we are so excited for these kids again.

70
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>They ranged in age from seven all the way up

71
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>to fourteen fifteen. And then of course TJ, the dad

72
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>who will keep his age young at heart. He's going

73
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>to join this ensemble for an amazing night. And I

74
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>think people will really be impressed when they come. You know,

75
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 2>you don't really know what to expect, I you know,

76
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 2>sayed Keyboard sace Pana growing up, and so in my

77
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>mind I sort of thought I knew what it was

78
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>going to sound like the boy. The first time I

79
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>heard their concert during the festival, I about fell out

80
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 2>of my chair. I was like, oh my gosh, this

81
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>is amazing. And so these kids do a remarkable job.

82
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>And they're going to be playing favorites. They're gonna be

83
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.720

86
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.000
