A BIT OF PROFESSIONAL CHATTER…
During the week on Thursday we had Professional Musician Niel DePonte join our symphony for the day and work technique, music fundamentals and talk about the life of a professional working musician. The kids responded very well to him, asked great questions, and seemed to really enjoy having him there. Friday we had Professional Actress Jessica Blaszak join our Actors for a few hours answering questions and sharing her experience working all over the country. Again the students seemed excited to ask questions of a working actor. Our Local artists who taught our classes did an exceptional job and I wish you all could have been there to see our showcase. |

A BIG Thank You!!! To everyone who helped out with our “Arts in the Studio” Summer Program 2009. We all had a great time and learned a lot.
The students attended classes Monday through Friday and participated in a showcase on Saturday. The Theatre was packed on Saturday with family and friends excited to see what the students had been working on all week.
The symphony class played I believe six or more songs and wanted to play more. Each song was beautifully played and I couldn’t believe they worked on all that music in the short time they had. Our Theatre classes each did two musical performances and then shared the exercises and warm-ups they worked on in class. This was exceptionally exciting to see each child get a chance to jump in and be creative. It was truly an ensemble project.
In the past when we have done a “Show” and inevitable there is a “STAR” and most of the kids get to do one or two group numbers and a walk on. With the structure we have created this year everyone got a chance to be creative, show off a bit, make some new friends and learn a lot. |
