| Introduction |
| My image is something that I carved on a piece of pottery. Basically where ever I carved, and removed the blue slip, It became white when I dipped it into white glaze and the blue
was made more lovely under the white after the final firing.

| I've always loved to sing! I took up the soprano ukulele when I was eight years old in order to accompany myself singing risqué songs at my parent's swishy parties. I loved being the center of attention! When Arthur Godfrey himself signed my ukulele, my musical dreams soared. In later years, when my two children were in school, I worked in the local school system doing interactive singing with grades two through six accompanying myself on baritone ukulele. At that time my daughter and I started singing harmonies together and also studying Harp at the Hart College of Music in Hartford, CT. Eventually I also took up 6 and 12 string guitar and hammered dulcimer to set off the singing in a new way. It really has always been about the singing for me. The different instruments have been my way of varying the setting for a song. When I joined forces with my great friends Gordon Bok and Ed Trickett I had all the harmonies I could want as well as fabulous instrumental variety. It was during our collaboration that I took up guitar, flute and whistles. Over the course of our 30 years as a trio we recorded more than 10 CDs. I started learning violin (fiddle) at age fifty nine. And a few years after that the Nyckleharpa and Hardanger Fiddle found their way into my hands. I have studied with Alasdair Fraser, one of the “Great Scottish fiddlers”, at his camp "THE VALLEY OF THE MOON" in Santa Cruz, CA. I have traveled to Ireland a number of times to study with the equally world-class, amazing Irish fiddler, Martin Hayes. Both of them teach music in the way it has always been taught, passed down by ear. Many of the arrangement choices I have made in my compositions are based upon the many instruments I have played and loved over the years. And yet it is my first love of singing that really informs my scores. Ann Mayo Muir |
