Tutoring Talented Children

I tutor some amazing children in my after school hours. I'd thought I'd share with you a talented family that I tutor every Thursday.
The eldest daughter Keely is a fabulous singer/song writer. She sang for President Obama the day before he was elected, sings the National Anthem for numerous baseball games, does music shows at theme parks and is currently trying to be picked up by Disney all while attending dance class, acting class and frequent auditions. All of this at the age of 13!
Fiona and Liam are equally as talented, yet not as busy as their older sister. They have rhythm and pipes. To prove this you can find their You Tube video knock off of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' Empire State of Mind on the bottom of our side bar or click here. All of this was created because they were bored during Thanksgiving weekend. They wrote the lyrics and did the editing as 8, 10 and 13 year old children (with a little help from dad)!
If we could all have genes and ambitions like these...

Finally Making The Villa

We live 7 miles from the beautiful coast of California where the The Getty Villa can be found. We haven't made it there til now.
Thankfully with a little invite from Neil and Amber we made it to the top of the hill where Getty built himself a live-in museum over looking the ocean.
