Course in the Alexander Technique - July 19-23
|
The
16th Annual Summer Course in the Alexander Technique at the University of
Colorado at Boulder will be held July 19-23, 2010, 9:00 to noon daily. A one
day Intensive will be held July 24, 1-5:00 pm. The 2010 faculty includes Ed
Bilanchone, Carol Boggs, and James Brody.
The Alexander Technique is
a powerful tool for changing habits in movement and thinking. While anyone
can benefit from this Technique, the work applies especially well to
musicians and educators. Participants will learn about
generalized and
specific body use issues that can affect both performance and educational
settings, as well as practical skills for the classroom. The results of a
medical study in England that investigated the Alexander Technique were
recently published in the British Medical Journal. A link to a summary of
the study and a short film about it can be found at:
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/337/aug19_2/a884.

ZHONGSHAN, China - Striking workers at a Honda

something officially forbidden in China,

Meanwhile, other scattered strikes have begun to ripple into Chinese
provinces previously untouched by the labor unrest.
A near doubling of wages is the primary goal of the approximately 1,700 Honda
workers on strike here in this southeastern China city, at the third Honda auto
parts factory to face a work stoppage in the last two weeks.

Congas for Sale - I am downsizing my gear and have decided to sell my almost
new Toca Traditional congas! It is a set of 3: 11" quinto, 11 3/4" conga, and
12 1/2" tumba, each with a bag! They are the natural oak finish drums, with
near new heads! I have only used them for recording sessions, since I have
fiberglass drums for live gigs. I am willing to sell the set for $600, which is
far below the cost of a new set of pro drums. Please call or email if you or
someone you know is interested! I am attaching a photo of the drums from Toca's
web site.
Thanks for your help, and have a blessed day!

Peace!

Quiet
Song for Band- Grade 1/2, by Debbie Davidson.
A great song for the
first band concert of the year! It uses the first five notes typically used in
band method books, and is inspired by "Bolero." A quiet tune begins with the
flutes and then gradually all of the instruments are added for a big climax
before it tapers back down to the flutes. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

Finale to Beethoven Symphony No. 9- Grade 2+
for full orchestra and SAB chorus, Debbie Davidson.
Arranged to make this
amazing classic accessible for middle school students. Key signatures and
changes are simplified. Vocal parts are all doubled, and the Baritone part is
optional. An advanced part is included for extra support - when this piece was
premiered at Cherry Creek Academy, a teacher played this advanced part on the
cello and an advanced piano student played it on piano. Most of the second parts
(i.e. second clarinet, second flute, second violin) can be handled by students
in their second year of instruction. The Cherry Creek Academy performance
involved singers, grades 5 - 8, band members, grades 6 - 8, and orchestra
members, grades 6-8.
