 Julia & Joe Peterson are a multi-instrumental duet based in Milaca, MN. Between the two of them, they have over 30 years of experience in professional music playing classical, jazz, blues, rock, country, world beat, reggae, folk, and more. As Heartstrings, they primarily play as an instrumental cello and piano duet with a wide range of repertoire and an emphasis on improvisation. Heartstrings will travel to schools in and around the Milaca area.  

 Heartstrings will perform a variety of repertoire, including jazz standards, pop tune covers, and traditional folk tunes. We are flexible on what repertoire we will use in our program, and we are certainly open to suggestions.  

Learning goals will focus on fundamental elements of music such as structure, chords, and harmony. Students will use those building blocks to understand how musicians improvise together. Heartstrings can modify their program to meet the needs for both elementary school students and middle/high schoolers.
