Reaching Heights and The Music Settlement Collaborate to Offer The American String Experience
Reaching Heights and The Music Settlement announce a new music program for sixth and seventh grade string students in the CH-UH school district: The American String Experience. Students enrolled in this program  will receive two lessons per week - a small group, master-class style lesson during the school day, and an orchestra class on Saturday morning. The structure of this program recognizes that many students learn faster and better when there is a social component to their education. The basis of this program, being coordinated by string instructor Cara Tweed, is the newly released O'Connor method, a carefully constructed collection of American music that prepares students for the technical and musical challenges they may find in any genre of music. The American folk, jazz, rock and classical tunes that comprise the method's repertoire are uniquely appealing to middle school aged students. In addition to preparing the student for the technical challenges of playing a string instrument, the method fosters musical creativity and teaches improvisation. This program will be offered at Monticello, Roxboro, and Wiley Middle Schools. For more information, contact your student's middle school music teacher.

Camera Donations Needed For Heights High Students The Cleveland Heights High School Photography Department is looking for donations of 35mm and digital cameras, new or used, along with Apple computers capable of running Adobe CS4/CS5. Over time the school's  cameras have aged with wear and tear. That camera in your drawer can find new life, and aid in the development of our best resources, our students. We are converting but not losing the darkroom as we continue to move to 21st century technology. We have some wonderful projects that will take place this year and hope you get to see our students' art. For more information, contact photography teacher Georgio Sabino at g_sabino@chuh.org. |
