Our teaching philosophy is to give each student a creative, healthy, and efficient way to use their voice and instrument. No matter the style, fostering a technique of complete vocal freedom and playing with easy musical communication is essential to our educational goals.

Bedford Garden Club Meeting, Tuesday, October 13, 2026, an&nbsp;Evening Program, 6:00 PM: Social period 6:30 PM:&nbsp;At the First Church of Christ, Congregational, 25 The Great Rd. Bedford
Giancarla Kalpas will lead us through a process to start some plants over the winter. Because some New England natives have evolved with the climate, they often require a period of cold, moist stratification to induce&nbsp;germination.
Participants will learn how to make miniature greenhouses using translucent gallon jugs, and when to use this planting method.
A Chelmsford resident, Ms Kalpas is a retired math and science teacher who is self-taught about native plants. She is affectionately called the “Bluebird Lady” in her hometown because of her efforts over 30 years to bring back the Eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis).

I will be meeting with readers, discussing the inspiration behind the book and signing copies between 1:00-3:00 pm. My book is an Autobiographical Memoir, a story that chronicles my life from birth up until my 51 years of life; all the obstacles&nbsp; and tragedies I went through, and all the triumphs too! It is a story of resilience and survival and over coming the near impossible! It was written to help me heal, but with also the intent to help others through their challenges in their lives.&nbsp;Due to the incoming storm (Nor'easter) My book signing event has been rescheduled for Sunday, October 18th at 1:00-3:00 pm

John Glenn Middle School

Boston-based Grain Thief brings its distinctive roots sound to the New Song Music Series on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
With critically acclaimed albums and live performances that have earned them a national following, this five-piece string band explores the boundaries of Americana while staying grounded in its acoustic roots. Their latest album, House of the Dog, celebrates perseverance, friendship, and the simple power of acoustic instruments gathered around a microphone. Its original tunes feel warmly familiar—as comfortable as a favorite pair of jeans.
Patrick Mulroy (guitar, vocals), Zach Meyer (mandolin, vocals), Michael Harmon (bass, vocals), Tom Farrell (resonator guitar), and Alex Barstow (fiddle) have honed their songwriting and musicianship through years of playing together, building a musical camaraderie that shines through onstage. Watch them perform "54 Miles to Empty" here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elZ4dwH7KK4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elZ4dwH7KK4</a>
Because of planned construction in Bedford Town Hall’s Reed Room, the concert will take place at John Glenn Middle School Auditorium, 99 McMahon Road, Bedford, a comfortable venue with theater-style seating.
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 during the week of the concert; ticketing fees may apply. Tickets and additional information are available at <a href="https://newsongbedford.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">newsongbedford.org</a>.
New Song is a volunteer initiative of the Bedford Cultural District, made possible through the generous support of Red Heat American Tavern, Suzanne &amp; Company Real Estate, Bedford Florist &amp; Gifts, FYZICAL® Therapy and Balance Centers Bedford, the Mass Cultural Council, and the Bedford Cultural District.

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.
