4/30/17 Recital Reminder

Happy Spring Break to all!

Just a quick reminder that our BCD Private Lessons Recital is scheduled for 2pm on Sunday April 30, 2017.

Selected students who are part of our After-school Music Program will have the opportunity to share pieces on the Adams Community Bank Stage in the new Kim and James Taylor Music/Performance Room!

If your student is enrolled in BCD afterschool lessons, feel free to connect directly with your instructor and/or myself to learn more. Program repertoire are mostly TBD at this moment.

Hope all our BCD students are having a musical break!

Sincerely,

Mr. Martin

Music Class has moved!

Starting now, all daytime Music instruction will be given in the new space, the Kim and James Taylor Music/Performance Room. Private lessons will remain as-is.

Thanks so much to my former neighbors, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade!

Thanks also to the Vocal Ensemble, for christening the new space with their talented young voices! What a special treat to hear their rendition of “White Winter Hymnal” with full body percussion accompaniment.

It is going to be such a treat to experience the full range of our P-9 Music instruction in this innovative new space.

Preschool students will find more open space to explore creative movement and small percussion instruments. Lower School students will be able spread out during group composition, and Middle School Chorus to rehearse onstage. Arts Block composers will have better technology to utilize, and Vocal Ensemble will be able to take advantage of our stage lights and sound system for dress rehearsal. Private lessons students will be able to enjoy our new Mason & Hamlin studio piano.

What a blessing! Our kids our going to have a blast here.

Frist day in the Taylor Music/Performance Room

Musically Yours,

Charles Martin

Music Room Move!

Thanks so much to Paul, and to the Upper School students and teachers, for helping kick the new Kim and James Taylor Performance Room off to a great start.

Thanks to the Upper School, we created a human “assembly line” to transfer our robust collection of drums, Orff instruments, and small percussion from the old space to the new space. Very similar to what was done by Lower School for the Library.

What a momentous and exciting week for Music at BCD. Goodnight, all!
