I am very grateful to hear beautiful music coming from Kelsee's room as she plays. Emily let's Kelsee help choose her harder music pieces. After 2 years of instruction, she has no problem playing for other people. Being 9 years old, her listeners are surprised at how well she can play. Kelsee has loved music since she was a baby as she always danced to the beat. Her mom wanted her to take music lessons when she got older, but passed away when Kelsee was 5. As her grandma, I promised her mom I would always take care of her and help her move forward in learning music skills. Thank you, Emily. You are the perfect teacher for my granddaughter. When Emily moved from Brookings to Eugene, Oregon, we arranged to take lesson via FaceTime. It is very convenient for Kelsee to play on her own keyboard for each lesson.

We saw Red Lotus on Google maps, and the website in the info had a phone number that was out of service. We drove by where the GPS took us, but the building was only a concrete pad. We went around the block again and spotted the Red Lotus sign in a window of the trading company. The music store had moved during COVID, but Google Maps didn't reflect that. Anyway, Evans, the owner, was a tremendous help to my husband, and his guitar plays great now. We didn't get a working phone number from him, but he did say his website was made many years ago by a friend who has since passed. He needs a new website, but he can't afford it. If someone who has the capability could make him a new website for free, it would be so great! We need this music store in Newport, it's an important part of our community.

I appreciate that the staff is not pushy in the slightest, and they seem to respect the relationship between a musician and and their need to fit the instrument that suites them best, which sometimes takes time and trying many different instruments side by side. Also feel that they've been quite fair and reasonable with making deals on trade-ins. Much more so than a corporate music store like Guitar Center. Grateful to have a quality local owned music shop!

The acoustics were good and for the most part the lighting was as well. I saw the Sugar Beets on 6/20/26. As a person who is gluten-free and tries to avoid sweets and alcohol there really wasn't anything at concessions for me. I'm grateful that this is not a place that refuses to allow you to bring your own snacks and water. The room with concessions also has merch (like band t-shirts). I overheard someone say that during the show if you attempt to go down the stairs from the balcony (like to get to concessions) the stair way is completely pitch black and hazardous.

I've finally I've been able to visit the Shedd. Well, that's a little incorrect; they were around…read morewhen I was in middle and high school, but as a summer program or resident company at the Hult Center known as OFAM, the Oregon Festival of American Music. Until this past weekend, I hadn't been to a program at their own year-round space that's been here for 25 years or so now. (But I don't feel too bad about that since my sister, who's lived here all her life, has only been once.) Anyway, I brought my toddler to their Magical Moombah show, which is designed specifically for children. We had a lot of fun! It was held in the Jacqua concert hall. The show was kind of variety/vaudeville in style; this one was called Come Sail Away, and it had a loose story made up that was connected by pre-existing songs that matched the theme. There were several time when they invited the kids up to participate--a dance party on stage, a couple of joke breaks, a contest or two, and more. It was a great way to let the kids be involved, and even the littlest kids had an opportunity to join in (my two year old was insistent on making her stage debut, though I think she was a bit shy when she was up there dancing with everyone). They hold this program each quarter and I'll definitely be looking for it next time we're home to visit. They also host concerts, musicals, and other programming. There are a couple of performance spaces, the concert hall being the main one and then recital space. The Shedd is also home to a music school, which seems to take place in the newer wing, where students can take private or group lessons. I will say that their website is really frustrating--almost every link would take me to their calendar, even if I was clicking on Faculty or Welcome--so I'm not sure what that's about so I'd suggest just calling if you have questions. There's a fee if you purchase tickets online (and maybe if you purchase in person with a credit card); in person with cash there's no fee. They have a good parking arrangement with the city that allows for free parking on evenings and weekends in the Lane County lot. There's also parking directly behind their north entrance (I'm not sure if that's the city lot or not, but I don't think so). The lot we parked in was kind of frustrating because almost every spot was marked as compact, and in the year 2026 even in Eugene most people have an SUV or minivan or something, and places just need to stop making most of their parking for compact cars. Some fun facts: Ginevra Ralph, who co-founded the Shedd, is the great-granddaughter of John G. Shedd (namesake of Chicago's Shedd Aquarium in addition to this performing arts center). The Shedd is located in what was once the First Baptist Church in Eugene, one of the largest in the city if not the largest at the time. Also, Marin Alsop, a conductor of international renown, was the co-conducted the Eugene Symphony and the Oregon Festival of American Music early in her career. The Shedd really does have a storied history and lots of great things to come.
