Then the recession hit and I've never recovered. The poor economy plus brides favoring strings and harp over the organ has led me to focus on my teaching business:<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dqTWBF9ft74/TeuOm1IGvTI/AAAAAAAAAPg/G4lZoRE94DM/s1600/cooltext2.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 66px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dqTWBF9ft74/TeuOm1IGvTI/AAAAAAAAAPg/G4lZoRE94DM/s400/cooltext2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614738158194703666" /></a><br /><br />Now I have 70 <a href="http://www.jamesmusicstudio.com">students</a> and no time for weddings! Isn't life odd how it goes through constant change? 17 years ago today we landed in Jupiter FL for me to start work as a music minister at a Methodist church, a very misguided endeavor. That was after a search for church work that started in 1985! If I had only known back then that my true talent lay in private music instruction, how different life would be. I wouldn't have wasted 13 years in stupid office work at Vanderbilt. But despite being nearly 60, I welcome finding myself & my vocation with gratitude.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35621358-8335760901529475954?l=nashvilleweddingorganist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GangqinLaoshrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16652534514214562171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35621358.post-58335155241862874202011-02-27T22:45:00.003-06:002011-02-27T22:45:59.219-06:00<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>James Weinberg, MME (Belmont '91) has been teaching piano, organ and voice for over 10 years in middle Tennessee.

Couples frequently elect to have me choose their music. The couple can greatly assist the process prior to the consultation by listening to and identifying the style of music which most appeals to their tastes. Specific composers (like "Bach/Gounod") and periods (like "Romantic") and names of works (such as "Ave Maria") will greatly aid the organist and make the consultation session more productive. See <i>Repertoire</i> below for suggested pieces with sound samples. You may also bring sheet music of favorite songs, tapes, or programs from other weddings when we meet.<br /><p>If you are having your ceremony in church, use discretion when requesting love songs and other secular music, keeping in mind the sacred nature of the event and place. Your minister or wedding coordinator might offer guidance on this subject as well. Rules defining restrictions vary from church to church, so ultimately these decisions should be made in conjunction with the officiating minister. If your ceremony is at a mansion, country club, garden, etc.—or simply less religious in tone—I'm very open to non-traditional styles of music.<br /><br />Sheet music for specially requested songs is to be given to the organist at least 2 weeks prior to the ceremony and will remain the property of the bride and groom.<br /><br /><b>Rehearsal</b><br /><br />The walk-through of the bridesmaids' processional, bridal march, and recessional should be at the beginning of the rehearsal, as the organist is generally not needed for the remainder of activities that take place. It would be appreciated if this is communicated to your wedding coordinator.</p><p><br /><img src="http://88keys.8m.net/pix/celtborder.gif" width="650" /><br /></p></span></p></td></tr><br /><br /><tr><td bgcolor="white" align="center"><span style="font-size:120%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">For a wedding with a Scottish or Irish flavor...</span><br /></span><br /><img src="http://88keys.8m.net/pix/knot.jpg" height="80" /><img src="http://88keys.8m.net/letters/LETT04N.GIF" height="80" width="90" /><img src="http://88keys.8m.net/letters/LETT04C.GIF" height="80" width="90" /><img src="http://88keys.8m.net/letters/LETT04W.GIF" height="80" width="100" /><img src="http://88keys.8m.net/pix/knot.jpg" height="80" /><br /><br /><p align="center"><br /><a href="http://88keys.8m.net/Weddings2.html"><img style="width: 506px; height: 72px;" alt="Nashville Celtic Weddings" src="http://88keys.8m.net/pix/NCW.jpg" border="4" /><br /></a><br /></p><a href="http://nashville.about.com/od/weddingmusic/index_r.htm"></a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><img src="http://88keys.8m.net/pix2/OOTR.JPG" /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35621358-116016829975649090?l=nashvilleweddingorganist.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GangqinLaoshrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16652534514214562171noreply@blogger.com0
