What listeners have said about the music of Catherine Scholz…
“It is rare an artist comes along… where their music, their lyrics, dive deep through to your soul. Catherine Scholz is one of those artists…” – Linda Savitz
{Her}…music evokes so much emotion and beauty…” – Elisa Parker, KVMR DJ
“Cool, but not detached; passionate, but not preachy; intelligent, but not smarter-than-thou stylish alt-folk… informed alternately by Shawn Colvin’s eye for detail, Joni Mitchell’s ear for melody and a rootsy, homespun feel. The purity of her lullaby voice is framed by tasteful, understated playing and the overall effect is like a warm bed on a summer Sunday…” – Paul in the UK
“Warm, beautiful, straight to the heart…” -Barbara Tanksley
“There is something about Catherine’s music that seems to break down barriers… Her voice has a rich, real presence and friendliness… it’s also that her songs are as forthright and guileless as they are absorbing and alluring. This music may surprise you in how it opens you up. Listen… and see if you connect with this artist. You don’t have to try very hard. You don’t have to try at all.” – Bob Villwock
“Full body deep meaningful, yet soft and gentle, while being soothing and easy to listen to… pleasure and bliss…” – Sunwolf
“Reminiscent of the great folk singers that I grew up with, Catherine’s new CD is filled with heartfelt, emotionally provocative lyrics… With every listen, the songs keep taking me deeper toward a joyous, peaceful state of being…” – Tom Gill
“…Catherine’s songs communicate deep emotion characteristic of a woman searching for the maturing parts of herself. Love, loss, and meaning are presented in a pastiche that is true and irresistible. Her music speaks to all of mankind with gentleness and truth.” – MaryAnn Ferolo

Lyrics: “May the depth and strength of our dreams lift you up and keep you safe. May the depth and strength of our hope keep you whole.” – Kate Munger, Founder of Threshold Choirs
The all-women Threshold Choirs honor the ancient tradition of singing at the bedsides of people who are struggling: some with living, some with dying. The voice, as the original human instrument, is a true and gracious vehicle for compassion and comfort. The choirs provide opportunities for women to share the sacred gifts of their voices at life’s thresholds.
When we are invited to a bedside, we visit in small groups. We invite families and caregivers to join us in song or to participate by listening. We choose songs to respond to musical taste, spiritual direction, and physical capacity. The songs may include rounds, chants, lullabies, hymns, spirituals, and choral music.
The service is our gift; there is no charge. We gratefully accept donations for our ongoing expenses.
For more information about Threshold Choir, visit www.thresholdchoir.org.
If you are a female Nevada County resident interested in joining our local Threshold Choir, contact Beth Karow at 530-432-3090.
Music Literacy Through Piano Classes
taught by Catherine Scholz
Catherine created her Music Literacy Through Piano Classes from over 11 years of training and experience as a credentialed K-12 music educator and board-certified music therapist.
Her compassionate teaching style and individualized instruction give students a solid musical foundation on which to build a lifetime love of music.
Catherine’s students enjoy learning how to play, sing, read and write music through a variety of modes:
- 1:1 Piano, vocal and rhythmic instruction
- Music theory workbook
- Interactive ear-training program that facilitates note-name and pitch recognition
- Independent practice with headphones
Students are given the opportunity to perform in a yearly spring recital. After graduating from Catherine’s program, students may go on to study piano, composition or any musical instrument with a deep understanding of how music works. Contact Catherine for more information: 530-906-6529 and/or visit http://musicliteracythroughpianoclasses.com.
I will be playing at OddFellows Hall on Friday night before the movies start. See you there! – Catherine
Happy Holy-days!
No matter what your religious beliefs, may you be safe, may you have mental peace, may you have physical peace, and may you live with the ease of well-being.
I am constantly amazed by the mysterious generosity of this world. Just when I think I’ve experienced all the goodness that I possibly can, another amazing moment arises and it seems that
all I have to do is choose to accept it.
An overview of 2008: This year, I co-produced “Whirlwind Girl” with Michael Logue at SunSound Studios. Thanks to CDBaby, it’s on iTunes, Rhapsody, Pandora and many more.
On the homefront: My son turned 6 and he continually surprises me with new questions about reality, causing me to question everything I believe in the process. This is a good thing!
What’s next? New Album Ideas:
I am currently in the brainstorming process for my next album project. Right now I am considering a 2009 Winter Solstice album. If you have ideas to share, please share them at my guestbook on my website.
In gratitude: Thank you, my faithful listeners, for supporting my musical path in so many ways, from buying the album, writing reviews, inviting me to play at events and on the radio, and sending me love on the internet and by email. I would especially like to thank Michael Logue for all of his magical love and support.
Stay tuned to catherinesmusic.com for more exciting developments in 2009!
Yours in harmony,
Catherine
