Take Voice Lessons In Ditmas Park!

If you or your child have been contemplating taking voice lessons, but haven't made time for it due to a hectic schedule, summer is a great time to start. Whether you sing in the shower or onstage, I can help you improve the many facets of your voice including technique, stage presence, repertoire, and music theory skills. I tailor lessons to your needs, abilities, and goals. I have an in-home studio, and I can also travel to you if you have access to a piano or keyboard. I teach singers of all ages and levels. 

A bit about me: I am a conservatory-trained professional singer, and have been an educator for over five years. I am a patient, nurturing, efficient teacher who always has the students' best interest in mind. Contact me for more information regarding rates, location and scheduling. I look forward to singing with you!

Dear Torah scholars,
Torah study will continue through the summer. We will meet on Friday evenings at 7:30 to study the weekly Torah portion, followed by services at 8:30 pm, as usual.

If possible, please read the Torah portion beforehand (but as
always, if you don't have a chance, come anyway). This week's Torah
portion is Masay (Numbers 33-36).
If you don't have access
to a Bible, you can find a Hebrew-English or just English Bible here:
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0.htm.

If you'd like to read any commentaries, there are many online, for
example, here:
http://urj.org/learning/torah

Join in our always-lively discussion as we immerse ourselves in the living waters of Torah, adding our voices and thoughts to those of Jewish tradition.

 

I look forward to learning with you this Friday evening!

Shalom,
Rabbi Heidi Hoover

Students involved in dance at STH have plenty of opportunities to create and perform their own original choreography throughout the year.  They also work with professional guest artists, and are often invited to participate in SPOKE THE HUB's professional adult productions.  Over the years, SPOKE THE HUB's Young Artists have earned additional scholarships to the American Dance Festival, the Alvin Ailey School, and the Feld Ballet, in addition to colleges throughout the country.  They have also performed with STH's adult company at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, at the World Trade Center, and at Lincoln Center, as well as performing independently at the Kitchen, P.S. 122, DTW, and with Meredith Monk/The House.

All youth company members are required to take a minimum of two technique classes a week at SPOKE THE HUB, and must be available for occasional additional weekend rehearsals and performances throughout the year.

Budding Cookbook Author has a Special Request

Hi...

A budding cookbook author needs your help... as the author of Guilt-Free Delites,
I have a huge request... there are only 28 days left for people to pledge an amount
to pre-order Guilt-Free Delites cookbook... I was hoping to have had at least half the
amount raised by now... (my computer was in the shop for 8 days and we just got it up and
running over the weekend.. so now I am in a big push to market it to as many people as I
can.. I know in my heart there are people who would like to own this cookbook. I was wondering
if you could send this out to the PineHillGroup. I am hoping to reach individuals who may enjoy recreating these delicious
recipes.

Perhaps to anyone who is looking to explore recipes that are gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free in the comfort of their own kitchen...Plus I show how one can take one recipe and turn it into another main dish, dessert or beverage... absolutely YUMMYEEOO!!

Guilt-Free Delites will also feature a section for food descriptions... so they can find out the
health benefits for each ingredient used for these recipes. Plus I have incorporated essential oils into some of the recipes and show how one
can either use herbs or oils for these recipes.

Everyone receives a "Thank You" gift for whichever level they choose to pre-order Guilt-Free Delites....

The link they can visit is

http://kickstarter.com/projects/terigorbea/guilt-free-delites

Guilt-Free Delites should be available hot off the press either late September or early October.

Have a wonderful week.

Flute Lessons with Sarah

email: scarrier83@gmail.com

website: http://www.sarahcarrier.com

mobile: (562) 810-0528 

location: on Ditmas Ave. near Ocean Ave. or your Ditmas Park home

With 10 years of teaching experience under my belt, I can tailor lessons to meet the needs of any student. My current students range from age 5 through adult, and all of them genuinely love to play the flute! I like to give my students the opportunity to perform in biannual recitals, a fun experience for everyone involved. 

As a performer of both classical and contemporary music, I give my students a taste of modern techniques such as improvising, singing and playing, and multiphonics in addition to traditional flute playing and repertoire. I believe in the idea of the "modern flutist", meaning the flutist who is trained to be versatile, artistic, and inquisitive from the get-go. 

Past faculty positions include Douglaston School of Music (Queens), Walnut Valley School District (So.Cal), and Irvine Art and Music (So. Cal). 

I currently teach through Brooklyn Music Lessons and maintain my own studio as well. This September I will begin a doctoral program in flute performance at The Graduate Center.  

My main influences as a teacher are John Barcellona (author of the "Flute Doctor" series in Flute Talk Magazine) and Robert Dick (author of the seminal work, "The Other Flute").

To learn about my accomplishments as a performer, please visit my website. 

Credentials include the following:

* D.M.A. Candidate CUNY Graduate Center
* M.M. New York University
* B.M. California State University Long Beach; Bob Cole Conservatory

Kittens seek loving home! (Fosterers also welcome)

Three Kittens Seeking Permanent Home!
See kittens on VIDEO here http://is.gd/kuwVUL
More pics here https://picasaweb.google.com/brooklynbridgeanimals/CrazyCuteKittens

These three kittens were rescued outdoors very sick with severe and painful eye infections that threatened their eyesight. Now they are restored to health and are seeking a loving, permanent home, though temporary fosterers would be welcome, also.
 
They are 8 weeks old, FeLV/FIV negative and have had their first round of vaccinations. They  love to be held and play.
 
Decker, a male who is white with black markings, is the most playful and energetic of the bunch. He cannot pass up any opportunity to chase a ball or jump high in the air for a string. When you cuddle with him he purrs like a motorcycle engine.
 
Jimmy, also black and white male, was the last one to be rescued and is still a little bit shy. He is very sweet and loves to have his chin and belly rubbed and will return the favor with plenty of purring.
  
Beautiful Marley, is the only female in the group. She is white with gray markings and also playful when she gets the chance. She too, will purr and cuddle. She will grow up to be an even lovelier kitty than she already is.
 
The kittens love each other and would prefer to be adopted in pairs, or singly into a home with another cat-friendly cat.
 
Please email honeywood5@yahoo.com. An adoption application, home visit, and adoption fee will be required.

Massage Therapy for chronic pain... please no spa fluff!

"I've heard alot about the therapist Frances Dunston. What kind of massages techniques does she do?"

If this is your question then here is your answer. I offer a technique I call Fusion Therapy which is a meridian massage mixed in with other familiar techniques to help align your body even from the first session. Because each body is different given the day, the combined strokes are tailored to address the individual's need. Many people who have had chronic pain leave commenting that it had been years since they have felt so good in their body's.

Free Torah Study, continues Fridays 7:30 83 Marlborough Rd, at Church ALL SUMMER

Dear Torah scholars,
Torah study will continue through the summer. We will meet on Friday evenings at 7:30 to study the weekly Torah portion, followed by services at 8:30 pm, as usual.

If possible, please read the Torah portion beforehand (but as
always, if you don't have a chance, come anyway). This week's Torah
portion is Pinchas (Numbers 25:10-30:1).
If you don't have access
to a Bible, you can find a Hebrew-English or just English Bible here:
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0.htm.

If you'd like to read any commentaries, there are many online, for
example, here:
http://urj.org/learning/torah

Join in our always-lively discussion as we immerse ourselves in the living waters of Torah, adding our voices and thoughts to those of Jewish tradition.

 

I look forward to learning with you this Friday evening!

Shalom,
Rabbi Heidi Hoover

Friendly and affordable pet sitter available

Hello Pet Parents,

 

Are you heading out of town for a bit?  Need someone that is reliable, affordable and trustworthy to look after your furry friends?  

 

I offer pet sitting and walking services for the South Brooklyn Area, seven days a week, flexible hours.   Lots of experience in looking after the furry friends, excellent references available.  I believe it's important that each pet gets some valuable one on one time, a little TLC, while their parents are away.  It's a pleasure to take them to the park, go on a long walk and get some good playtime in for the day.  I can also water your plants, take in your mail and any other small housekeeping tasks that need to be done while you're away.  Unfortunately, I'm not able to host your pet in my home at this time.

 

Rates:

30 Min Walk -$15

60 Min Walk -$20

Playtime included.

 

Overnight- $40

(includes cats and dogs, no more than 3)

$5 for each additional pet

 

I'm flexible and very willing to meet your needs as a client.  If you're interested in using my services or have any questions, please drop me a line at roosagoose@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you.


 

 

Thanks,

Rusa
