LES 2nd graders set to jam and showcase musical talents on June 11...all are invited!

Nineteen Lawrenceville Elementary School (LES) 2nd graders will demonstrate their ability as composers and live performers at Young Composer's Night on June 11. Students will present original songs that they wrote completely on iPads using the GarageBand App. The evening will include a slide show and an iPad Band performance using iPad instruments, such as electric guitars, violins, and synthesizers. 

 

LES music teacher Dan Beal, pictured left, is coordinating the event as part of "Jammin' with JamHub," a grant funded by the Lawrence Township Education Foundation (LTEF).

To be or not to be...iHamlet gives glimpse into Shakespeare's work
Mostly sophomores and a few juniors and seniors attended one of two iHamlet assemblies yesterday. iHamlet is an adaptation by Robin Malan, a South African playwright, and puts onstage one actor speaking the words of only one character, Hamlet, from Shakespeare's play. LTEF funded the artist-in-residence program intended to enhance the study of Shakespearean literature and drama for English and theater students. The actor who played Hamlet is Melissa Dunphy from The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre. Get a glimpse of her dramatic interpretation via video linked in photo. Video is a bit dark but you can get a feel for the wonderful performance.
