About the #musicianlife Series
About the same time, our friends Caitlin Warbelow and Chris Ranney started TUNE.SUPPLY as a great conduit to pay artists for their work.
Conversation with some local music teachers produced a clear idea of what would be helpful to them: A series of short segments by diverse artists on such topics as creative listening, insight on being a professional musician, playing with intent and feeling, home practice methods, individuals talking about their specific instruments, etc.
We launched a successful GoFundMe campaign, receiving 46 donations, mostly from the local community but also from New York, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Anchorage.
100% of the money raised went directly to professional musicians, now, suddenly unable to perform live.
We’d like to thank these generous donors to our arts education video project:
Pamela Adams, Anonymous, Ann Beardsley, Anne Biberman, Nicole Bonfoey, Doug Braddock , Neal Brown, Jared Caiazza, Gail Davidson, Ann Dowdy, Nicole Eiseman, Jane Kauvar, Paul Krejci, Jim & Barb Hameister, Anne Ruggles & Don Hampton, Monte Jordan, Brad Keithley, Marin Kuizenga, Brendan & Nettie LaBelle-Hamer, Teresa Lantz, Cheryl Petersen, Mike Powers, Cecilia Manriquez, John Manriquez, Sarah Manriquez, Erin Morotti, Marie Reid, Angela Schmidt, Marlys Schneider, Caitlin Warbelow, Tammy Webb, Cynthia Wentworth, Josefina Wooding, Robert Yelk
Thanks to FNSB teachers Bobb Lockwood, Gwen Brazier, and TJ Hovest, for their insight, and to Caitlin Warbelow and Chris Ranney, and all the artists involved, for creating something we are proud of.
