FRIENDS! I NEED YOUR HELP!!

Due to state underfunding and severe budget cuts, the Northshore School District (the district I grew up in from 1st - 12th grade) and its board voted to cut a 40+ year long tradition of starting band and strings in elementary school. The district decided to no longer provide 5th Grade Orchestra and 5th Grade Band

In my opinion, this strips away a “language” from them in school. Even though I partook in the vocal aspects of music growing up, music sparked something inside of me. By removing this opportunity from kids it removes that spark and ability for them to express themselves, feel confident in an ability, and to learn something that will apply to their everyday life.

A group of parents have started a campaign, website, and have invited a national consultant, Dr. John Benham https://www.save-music.org/about-us/ to conduct a report and present his findings to the Board and the School District. They are in the process of unifying the music department and restructuring the program so that students still have an opportunity to learn a band or orchestra instrument in elementary school.

A couple requests on behalf of Dr. Benham:

- If you could you please mail 2 physical letters to the School Board and Superintendent Michael Tolley Address: 3330 Monte Villa Parkway Bothell, WA 98021

- Please sign this petition and share on Social Media.

-If you don’t want to write a letter you can also send an email, although PHYSICAL LETTERS ARE BEST at this moment to:
[email protected]
[email protected]

Here is the parent website with more information and ways to help out. https://savensdmusic.org/

I really appreciate your support for the kids in your communities and for the future of music education in the Northshore School District, the district that sparked my musical career and gave me countless opportunities and gifts that were, and still are, priceless.

Save Elementary Band & Orchestra in Northshore!

Absolutely Magical and Transformational! That's how I describe Gabriel's massage. From therapist to therapist, he truly connects to what your body is most deserving of. Before the session, Gabriel explained what the session was about and asked me a few questions to understand my body. During the session I fell into a deep sleep when I was facing down. During the time I was facing up, I had an experience I had never had before - I felt as if I had left my body for a moment and felt complete and absolute peacefulness. It was a very different feeling and extremely serene. If you want to have a mind blowing and magical massage experience, Gabriel is your guy! Es un honor recibir un masaje con tan grato ser humano lleno de tanta luz divina.

My time with Gabriel was one of the best experiences! I did not know what to expect so I entered this appointment with a clear mind and a healthy curiosity.

There was a moment when I fell asleep briefly. I have never been so relaxed on a table. I caught myself and tried to pull myself back. From that moment on it was difficult to differentiate what was a dream and what was real. I felt connected to the energy in the room. I felt connected to the rhythm of the music playing. I found myself at one point hiking in an area of Ireland that I have been to multiple times. I could smell the fresh air filling the room. After this I was totally captivated by how small I felt but how big everything around me felt.

As I pulled myself out I remember total embarrassment flooding me but for some reason it rushed out and was replaced with a sense of natural balance. My dreams that night were vivid. My dreams are always vivid but that night they had feeling/sensations.

I highly recommend spending time with Gabriel. Your entire system (mental, emotional, physical, cellular, and possibly ancestral) can be met, heard, and acknowledged.

My experience was transcendent. After I had booked the appointment, but before I had arrived, a very dear friend passed away and a love interest proved to be unfaithful...altogether, a pretty bad day....well, when Gabriel welcomed me into his studio, he sat down and calmly explained his process and treated me with both profound respect plus an unusual degree of kindness. He was calm and reassuring. Once on the massage table, I started out tensely, but Gabriel inspired such confidence that I easily surrendered to his movements and became a puddle of mud in the sculptor's hands. I was transported to a peaceful and happy place, where I found quiet and joy under his artful, strong, and exceptionally talented hands. I highly recommend Gabriel to help you become your best.

Que afortunado me siento de haber recibido un masaje por parte de Gabriel. Sentí tanta confianza desde el primer momento, trasmite esa seguridad, esa buena vibra. Todo era perfecto en las montañas de Sta Teresa, un sitio paradisíaco el entorno, la música, su calidez, todo impecable, pero lo mejor estaba por venir sus manos!!!! Me encanto su palmas grandes o así se podían sentir!!! Por momentos imagine como si un gigante me estaba dando un masaje. Fue estraña la sensación, pero muy gratificante. Al sentir las palmas de sus manos sobre mi dorso me transportó automáticamente aún nivel 💯 % de relajación. Me sentí tan libre, me sentí feliz, pude volar literalmente. Soy masajista profesional. Puedo reconocer la calidad de su trabajo, aún siento bienestar cerrando mis ojos y recordando todas esas maniobras, perfectas, de un maestro del masaje.

Unmatched care and quality, an unforgettable and unique massage experience.

I've done massages for over 7 years and was very impressed by Gabriel's energy and obvious love of his work. He is a caring perfectionist. No better compliment than saying I will long remember how well I slept because I was relaxed by a professional. Thank you Gabriel! The best I’ve ever had!
