It is time for the Holiday Performance Party, something I look forward to with great joy. It has become a tradition that brings my current students and many of those who have gone on to college or professional careers in a bigger market, together. There is a nervous excitement for my newer students hearing the more seasoned and then a chance to talk about it at the party after. It is a chance for me to spend some quality time with parents and partners of my students. I always enjoy this, finding I gain some new insight on the student I see every week. And of course I love making music and having people come to my home for a good meal.

"What is your favorite music?"

I spent a few moments today pondering the ridicules question "What is your favorite music?". My usual response sounds rather flip, "what ever I am working on right now". With very few exceptions I can honestly say I have spent most of my life surrounded by music I love. Practicing, performing, teaching, attending a live performance, banging around in my head while I walk with Bella on the beach. It is more unusual for me to listen to recorded music, although I have a rather large collection. Perhaps I am too disorganized to have the proper hardware around me at the proper time to make this happen. And it is also true that if music is to live, there must be silence surrounding it, to give it buoyancy or a staging ground from which to take flight.

Now for the real answer: I love the Rückert-Lieder of Gustav Mahler. If you have a moment to listen to them as performed by Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, I am sure you will understand why.

my new- still slightly under wraps website.

With clicks of keys as evidence of my participation in this venture, I am wading deep into the waters of blogdom for the first time. I am inspired to do so because of another leap I am taking into the now-not-new world of websitedom.

My virginal online presence will soon make its' debut in the form of:

www.petermaleitzke.com.

There you will find all kinds of exciting information about yours truly, including introductory statements about the

Voice Studio

of Peter Maleitzke

and the methods and materials I use to help my students achieve their artistic goals.

There is also a newsletter,

BEL CANTO NOTES,

with news, announcements, activities and information about my students.

And while this is obviously a business venture, a publicity blitz- if you will,

I hope you will be able to sense through the clicks and the searches and the shameless self-promotion, the love I have for this work. Spending the day with Handel and Mozart and Gershwin and Sondheim yields great joys, especially in the company of the wonderful students and colleagues that make up the

Voice Studio of Peter Maleitzke.
