Margaret Waddell and Hummingbirdhouse Music Studio

Posted by on February 18, 2009

I’ve been trying to write this for months now, but it always comes out cheesy sounding and not very well said. I’ve given up. Here is my best attempt at thanking a person.

Hummingbirdhouse Music StudioSo… this may seem a little bit odd if you have been to my site before. I’m not accustomed to writing about things other than geeky-computer-how-to type stuff, but I wanted to give a shout to a person who means a lot to myself and my family.

Margaret Waddell has been a wonderful friend of our family for a little over a year now. We first met in a natural foods store where she was, if memory serves(probably doesn’t), mixing herbs for a foot soaking cocktail. Of course, my very outgoing daughter Freya caught her attention and it quickly came to light that Margaret was a music teacher in need of marketing and web services. I could tell right away that we were a good match and offered to barter my web development services for her music classes. Best decision ever.

Freya absolutely loves Margaret. Freya likes just about everyone, but with Margaret it’s different. You can see it with Margaret too. A kinder person I’ve not met, but you can see and hear it when Margaret interacts with Freya…it’s love. Not only has Freya gained a lifelong friend, but her musical skills have gone through the roof. She loves listening to and making music all day long, it’s a real joy to see and hear.

You can find the website I built for Margaret at http://hummingbirdmusic.net if you have a child, and want them to have the benefits of an early childhood music program, do give her site a visit. Margaret teaches classes for little ones with singing, hand clapping, bounces, shakers, dancing, and so on…but also does piano/keyboard classes as well as Irish Tin Whistle. Check out the class listing here: http://hummingbirdmusic.net/classes.

Thanks Margaret, we all love you! (You too RavenWolf!)
