repertoire class, technique class, multi-piano ensembles
and a choice of Creative Movement or Arts and Crafts (up
to age six) or “Rhythm in the Bones” (ages seven
and up).
Creative Movement—Movement
classes will allow students to hear music with their whole
bodies and help them to further develop coordination and
confidence in moving. Classes will encourage imagination,
exploration, creative problem solving, and self-expression
inside a community. Creative dance will give students
a chance to play and improvise with an instrument we all
use every day—our bodies. Instructor—Kristine
Butler Ward
Rhythm in the Bones—Rhythm
in the Bones will be based on afro-latin and afro-brazilian
rhythms. Clave will be the main focus. Students will be
taught basic drumming techniques as well as stepping and
vocalizing rhythms. Instructor—Pepe Danza, a long
time favorite at past institutes and we are excited to
have him back.
Multi-Piano-Ensembles
In this class students will learn to play outside the literature
pieces as unison or duet arrangements. You will receive
your assigned music in the mail after registration. Please
have your assigned part memorized and be prepared to start
at any measure in the piece.
