Abreu Fellows Visit, Part Two

As part of their second day at CMW this semester, NEC's Abreu Fellows were able to spend some quality time earlier this month engaging CMW students in musical activities during our weekly All-Play Day programming. We started the day with lunch at the office and an opportunity for the Abreu Fellows to share stories about their recent month-long internship experiences with CMW staff. Several Fellows shared the 3-minute videos that they had created to document their experiences. Then, it was off to  D'Abate Elementary for a very busy afternoon with plenty of teaching artist participation, as evidenced by the following schedule:

Studio hour

Rm 101: Beginners
Rm 103: Chamber music for brass and strings (with Avi, Ben, Jennifer)
Rm 104: Phase II Quartet (Alondra, Alana, Liam, Ian); peer learning through coaching (with Stephanie)
Rm 105: Singing/Choir (with Alysia and Aisha)
Rm 106: String Improvisation/Extended techniques (with Julie)
Rm 107: Conducting: Phase III ensemble plus two aspiring conductors (with Jose Luis)
Rm 108: Advanced violin master class (with David)
