Rochester Auditorium Theater 875 East Main Street Rochester, New York 14604 J Clarke Productions Presents Gospel "Play In Times Like These" In Times Like These is an outstanding musical stage play which everyone should see. In Times Like These is a humorous, yet serious look at what's going on in our community today. It invites us to take a look at where we came from and why we're where we are today. It's definitely a play that everyone can relate to! Not only will you be entertained, you will be blessed! Featuring Recording artist Serena Young, Dru B, Tywanye McKnight, RMJ Productions and Jimmie Highsmith, Jr. The SOTA Gospel choir will also be featured... One Event You Don't Want Too Miss!

From time to time I find myself asking myself certain questions thus
getting into a useless debate with myself... Very boring!!!!  Anyhow I
pose these questions to the group for your feedback.

1. What's your definition of success?
2. How has it changed if so?

Private Saxophone lessons from one of Upstate New York's most experienced Saxophonist Jimmie Highsmith, Jr. I am now accepting students for lessons starting Sept 2008! No long term contacts, month to month agreements.... 

Beginning & Intermediate Lessons will cover all aspects of Saxophone pedagogy and instruction. Learning to read music, basic music theory, scales and melodic patterns. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Saxophone playing or music theory or just music in general. I am a firm believer that spending time learning and studying the basics and learning to read music well is the fast way to learn how to play any musical instrument. It is my hope that all my students not only grow musically but in other areas of their lives as well.
