Martha Aarons will be in residence April 9 and 10 and will be giving a master class at the Crowden School on April 10 from 4-8 with Miles Graber accompanying. Here is some info about Martha for those of you who don’t know her. She’s been one of my mentors for over 20 years so I know you’ll enjoy working with her.
