Sneak Peek! Secret Tour Updates, etc.

Hello, my friends! Happy Friday :) 

I hope you're having a great April so far, and I just wanted to share a little snippet from the 12-hour long shoot I had two days ago in Pasadena with Tonebase, a classical music education program.  I had lots of fun performing and teaching three pieces on the Classical Cello, including Schindler's List, Salut d'Amour, and Popper's Tarantella, performing Wonder Woman on the Electric Cello and giving a general overview and walkthrough of the ...

Love's Greeting

Happy Friday everyone!  I woke up early to practice Salut d'Amour by Edward Elgar this morning. 

Somehow despite this being one of the most popular classical pieces, I've never played it before & am just working out the interpretation, fingerings, and bowings now!

I plan on recording this properly and releasing it as a single too.  Do you guys have any ideas/requests for the music video? 

Hugs,

Tina

Hi Dear Friends,

How is the start of March going for you guys? Here is my latest original composition that I'm very excited to share!

Today, my friend Mia Asano whom you may have seen in some of our short-form collaborations on Instagram/Facebook/TikTok etc. is flying into town and we are shooting 2 new full-length music videos here in LA!  One is a full-length cover of the X-Men TV Theme and the other a Metallica favorite.

Hello Dear Patreon Family!

I'm so excited to share the Premiere Page/Video Link on YouTube of my newest single and music video debuting on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2023.  

It features the Budapest Symphony and composer Thibaut Vuillermet on the piano and was filmed in 3 countries: USA, France, and Hungary.  Thibaut composed this piece as a tribute to Women and I'm very honored to have been asked to perform this beautiful Tango!

In the meantime, I just finished...

Update!

Hello Dear Friends!

My inbox is full here and I just wanted to take the time to write a post to everyone- thank you so much for your support and love!  As you know, I've been on tour, then taking a much-needed mental/physical break after the madness of moving states right after the tour and going through a difficult personal time.

Thank you for your patience and understanding- I have new projects in the works and content coming very soon, please bear with me as I'm readjustin...

MOVING DAY!

Hi my friends!

I'm waiting for the movers to arrive and today is the day all of my things are getting moved to my new home in Los Angeles.  I've downsized to a place literally 1/4 the size of the Vegas house, so there has been a lot of donating and giving away of items the past few weeks since getting back from tour as well as lots of logistical pieces/accounts/the usual madness with out of state moves for both home and business!

I apologize for the delay on livestreams and u...

Hello Patreon Family!

Hi Patreon Family!

I hope you're all doing wonderfully!  I'm back from tour and am currently in Los Angeles on the hunt for a new home to rent as I'm moving back here this month- I won't be working on any new projects to fully focus on the move and downsizing (the new place I found yesterday is about 1/3 the size of my current home in Vegas!) so things will be a bit crazy but I absolutely can't wait to get settled back in at home in Los Angeles, and back to making music.

3 Shows down with Hans Zimmer Live!

Hi My Friends!

I hope you're all having a wonderful week!  Just a little update to say hello, and thank you for your support!  The shows have started feeling tighter and tighter, and it's almost surreal to perform again after covid times :)   I'm especially excited that I get to do a bit of Keytar (Man of Steel) and Synth playing (organ on Interstellar) in this show!

Happy Thursday!
