Orfeo's Muse brings Early Music to Appalachia and Kentucky
In October, Orfeo’s Muse went back to Kentucky to do several educational performances in public schools. We also presented an evening concert at Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, KY. Deep in the Appalachian Mountains we found the students and faculty at Alice Lloyd to be quite engaging and enjoyable. Most of our performances were in the eastern part of Kentucky. Plans are in the making to go back in the Spring.
I have joined Illuminare, a women’s ensemble also directed by Vera Kochanowsky of Carmina. Both groups performed a concert in December at the Society of the
the Cincinnati at Anderson House in Washington, DC. We had a standing room only crowd and a most appreciative audience. Illuminare will present a series of full length concerts in March and with Carmina in May. For more information see Carmina’s website, www.carmina.org.
In January, Tom and I will travel to Miami where he will present a master class and I will join him in concert at Florida International University. We look forward to January in Miami!

Students say:
Dr. Teasley:
When I practice I am often thinking that I have learned from you not just voice lessons, but the way you are teaching, encourage, praise, tailored to the student's needs gradually so the student can
progress and enjoy on own terms. I want to say thank you and appreciate you accept me as your students.
-- Xin
Dr. Teasley:
I just wanted to write and say think you for all the hard work you have put into my lessons.
It feels really good to be singing again!
-- Alex
