Several years ago, Tuttle attended a workshop at Aspen, Colorado where she studied with Adele Marcus from the Juilliard School of Music. While at the workshop, she Since Aspen, Tuttle and Asay have teamed together to become a piano duo.

It is the 9' Fazioli concert grand piano which currently anchors the main gallery at Smith and Streadbeck's Alpine Art Center. And it is because of Billie and Dave that the piano is still in Utah, where it was brought in for a Bachauer competition several years ago. Following the competition, the piano was being stored in a piano store in Salt Lake City pending being shipped back East. One day Billie came across the piano when she was in the store. She was enthralled with its voice, with the beauty of the instrument, and with the magnitude of its sound. There aren't many Fazioii's around.

The workshop is designed to teach how to use Orff basics in teaching children. The March 6 workshop will feature nationally recognized Marilyn S.

As he exited the building after obtaining his food, he was confronted by a man with a gun, who ordered the victim to hand over his wallet. After the suspect allegedly removed some items from the wallet, he hit the victim over the head with an object he was holding in his left hand. (Good dexterity, huh?) This time the victim reacted by hitting the suspect with his left hand, hard enough that the suspect fell to the ground, dropping both the wallet and the gun. The suspect hurried and picked up the gun and fled. The blow was also hard enough to hurt the man's arm, forcing him to seek a brace for it; he then went to his girlfriend's house to relate the story, but apparently didn't make much sense. He returned to his home fo take a nap, and upon waking, started to remember more of the details of the incident, including the fact that the suspect took $60 in cash and two Los Angeles area concert tickets the victim had won on the radio. A car driven by a Monticello woman crossed State Street at 1200 East, passing directly in front of a westbound car drithe Monticello ven by a Lehi woman, who had the woman was later cited for failure to yield. When struck by the westbound van, the car rolled, throwing it into another vehicle that was stopped on the north side of the intersection while the driver was waiting to make a turn onto State Street. Police estimated the damage to the three vehicles at nearly $26,000, with the first car taking most of that damage. Fifteen plus a little equals two for a Lehi driver who was cited for open container violation and having no insurance. Clocking the motorist at 15 miles over the posted speed limit, the investigating officer saw an open can of beer in the back seat of the car. A check of the registration status uncovered the fact that the driver had no insurance on the vehicle. Nearly $1,300 in power tools was taken from a Lehi residence, although it is yet unknown whether the suspect gained entry through a door that may or may not have been locked or through the windows.

She makes it a point to pick instruup folk and ethnic-typments every time she attends an convention (which is just about every year). Her collection includes a of percussion instruments used by each of the young children she teaches. Tuttle is a strong advocate for music education and making music a part of every child 's curriculum. She expresses concern that Utah does not have official music specialists in each school - that music education is left mostly to the resources of the school's teachers. Sometimes those resources can be wonderful, but too often the music part of a child's education is neglected. Tuttle said there have been studies which have proven that music is the only subject that uses every aspect of the brain to assimilate the information. She also believes one of the strongest methods of building character in a child is helping her or him make and keep That happens agreements. when a child is required to practice on a daily basis. , r.'j 77 lW in her Musical The Tuttle """" during the rr. n, through and grants Fazioli may be Billie Tuttle doorstep.

But when Billie fell in love with the piano, she knew she had to do whatever she could to keep it in Utah. She calls it her serendipity, her unexpected find. She and her husband arranged to become financially responsible for the piano simply to keep it here. Initially, they hoped to use it at the Anasazi Valley Association's planned entertainment center in St. George. For numerous reasons that center never materialized and Tuttles were left with a wonderful piano and no where to put it. "I never wanted it in my own home," Billie explained. "It's too large and too lovely" The piano needs a humidity controlled atmosphere and a unique setting befitting its elegance. That setting came to fruition with the completion of the k center. a Through joint acquaintance, Tuttles were finally able to find a home for the piano. The last thing she ever expected when they bought the piano, says Billie, was to find a home for it so close to them.
