Artists
in Residence Program.
Once a month a member of our Professional Artists in Residence is featured
in a Master Class setting. This gives the opportunity for the students
to learn from professionals who have various backgrounds in music,
and experience in the music industry. Our professional Artists in Residence
play an intricate part in these programs, improving musicianship and technical
skills.
Drum
circles are directed
by professional percussionists and focus on rhythm and playing music together
as a group. While students are still learning their instruments, this
program allows them to play rhythmically with others without
having to master an instrument first. Drum circles are held once a month.
The purpose of the Drum Circle is rhythm study. There are two aspects
of playing music: 1) which note needs to be played and 2) when the note
needs to be played. It takes many years of playing to get to a point of
“being free” of the instrument, by not thinking about the notes;
in the meantime, the rhythm often suffers. Led by professional percussionists,
Drum Circles give the students a chance to play rhythms together without
formal instruments. Once they ‘feel’ the rhythm and get a sense
of how to play together in a group, playing in a group becomes an innate
sense.
Private Lessons. Private lessons are available on voice and almost any instrument including: Voice, Vocal, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Percussion, Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, F Horn, Violin, Viola, Cello, etc.. Private lessons supplement practice, study, and participation in a group. Private lessons are offered to students on most musical instruments and voice, with the philosophy of the teacher acting as a tutor for the student, as opposed to being the only source of learning, education, and expression.
All of these programs are performance oriented. The students perform
locally for senior citizens and assisted living homes, both private and
public schools, as well as festivals and other events. Live performance
gives performers the necessary skills and confidence needed for singers
and musicians who want to perform, have fun , and who may want to make
a career in music.
Performances are scheduled two to three times a month and are directed by Jon Laskin, as well as the program director for each class.
Classes:
- Music Appreciation: This class will feature guest hosts who will present audio or video as well as written material which will teach students various types of music from different cultures and ethnic groups.
. The Artists in Residence Program
involves once a month Master Class with a professional musician.
Planned Classes:
Planned classes include computer music instruction in a special classroom,
with
terminals for students, connected to a teacher’s terminal. As well
as creating and editing
music on computers, there are many “games” that have been marketed
for students to
learn music theory, site reading, ear training, and rhythm study.
