Lessons at 1392: A Teaching UpdateOctober is coming to a close, and CMW students and teachers are settling into a comfortable rhythm (no pun intended) with lessons and classes. More of our classes are happening in our office this year, which lends a great energy to the afternoons at 1392 Westminster Street! Depending on the day of the week, you might find students gathering in the main office to examine and design their own graphic scores in Sound Lab, learn about music from a new country (and stamp their musical passports) in the Adventurers Club, write their own music in theory lab, or tackle challenging new repertoire in Advanced Orchestra. And meanwhile, individual lessons are crammed into every available office space, Youth Alliance meets daily in our third-floor space, the BAM! BOO! Puppet Time! class is designing puppets in the library space, and Fiddle Lab students are learning new tunes in the quartet studio! It’s been busy, productive, and FUN – an excellent start to the teaching year. –Chloe Kline, Education Director Photos by Liz Cox |
