Bassists Needed! 

string bass
photo credit: www.wikipedia.com


It’s a fact: String Bass players have more fun; especially the members of the Hartt Suzuki Bass program!  Why?  Well, we’ll admit to being biased, but the String Bass has the most beautiful, warm and resonant tone of all the string instruments, and provides depth and structure to any ensemble in which it is played.  Did you know that the String Bass is the most versatile member of the string family?  Together with its modern cousin, the Bass Guitar, (which is tuned and fingered the same way), it is at home in orchestras, jazz bands, rock bands, swing bands and more.  It’s one of the few instruments used in virtually all styles of music.

We need more bassists to play in our orchestras and ensembles in the Hartt Community Division!  Bassists study with Susan Powell, who, in addition to having a Master’s degree from Julliard, has 35 years experience teaching students of all levels.  Ms. Powell also directs the Hartt Suzuki Bass ensembles.  Like violins and cellos, string basses are available in smaller sizes for younger students.   So, come join us and learn how to make joyous music on the most beautiful sounding member of the string instrument family -- the String Bass!

For more information about the String Bass or the Suzuki Bass program, please contact Susan Powell at 860-768-4451 x8539. Or email the Community Division receptionists at harttcomm@hartford.edu.

Immediate Openings for new Cello Students with David Gibson!

We are happy to announce that David Gibson is available to teach private cello students (from young beginners to adult students) through the Hartt Community Division. 

David Gibson received his B.S. from The Juilliard School and his M.M. from Yale University; both degrees are in cello performance.  His primary teachers included Luigi Silva, Dorothy DeLay, and Claus Adam in cello;
Jacob Druckman in composition; Robert Mann in Chamber Music; and Jorge Mester in conducting. He served on the faculty of SUNY Albany from 1972-1979 and has been a professor of music in the Electronic Arts Department and conductor of the RPI Orchestra at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute since 1994.  He has also been an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, Mount Holyoke College, Bennington College, Meadowmount School, the Mannes College Preparatory Division, and the Hartt School Community Division.  He has had a large private cello teaching studio for more than thirty years and has placed students in every major conservatory in the country during that time.  Many of his students have become professional cellists and have participated successfully in national and international competitions, such as Clancy Newman who won the Naumberg International Competition in 2001. 

If you are interested in private lessons with Mr. Gibson, please fill out the Request for Private Lessons Form on our website (link below) or call HCD Administrative Secretary Jill Burnham at 860-768-5772.

Notes from the studio of Sue Spaulding, Horn:

“IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO TRY SOMETHING YOU LOVE!”

Mr. Rich O’Neill, one of our adult horn students, began lessons on horn just last year, and this past month he performed in his first ever concert with a Band.  The experience for him was memorable, and best told in his own words:
“The Housatonic Valley Regional High School winter concert went off as scheduled on Wednesday evening.  My “premiere” performance with the concert band went very well and I only missed a couple of cues on one of the two pieces I played.  I even rated two stars in the program as a “Special Guest”.  It was a tremendous experience and one of the high points for me this year.  One of the neat things was recognizing how all the things that we have worked on during lessons this past year played out during the concert.   I am most thankful to the band director, Tom Krupa (my son-in-law), for arranging this and to the 70+ HVRHS band students who were gracious enough to allow me to perform with them.  They are an exceptional group of young people and I really hope they ask me back for the spring concert.”

 

“IT IS WONDERFUL TO KEEP IN TOUCH AFTER GRADUATION”
One of the joys of teaching for many years is hearing back from so many students, and following the developments in their lives.  Here are some notes just received from some of our past graduates from the Hartt Community Division Horn Studio:

Katie Bailer transferred from Drew to UConn this past fall, and is a junior. The one thing that she seems to really miss is the fabulous choir/orchestra she was involved in at Drew University. 

Lindsay Carpenter is a junior at Clark University, majoring in Sociology and Urban Development with a minor in Spanish. She played in the concert band and chamber orchestra first year, and now plays it every once in a while for her four apartment mates. She joined a dance troupe in college and loves it, and has even choreographed a few times. She is an SAT math tutor for high school kids in Worcester, and also works with a program for 9-12 year old girls.  But the coolest thing about her life right now is going to Chile for 6 months starting in February to study Spanish.

Jackie DesRosier is a sophomore at Hartt, majoring in Music Education, and playing in the Orchestra and Wind Ensemble, as well as being my Frank’s favorite babysitter.

Sarah Freuden came back from a year in Japan at the end of August.  She taught English to high schoolers in a backwater area of the country, “which was quite a roller coaster.  One of my schools had the honor of having the second best "brass band" in Japan, an immense sense of pride for the kids and something over which we immediately bonded. It was fun for me to watch because they are exceptionally talented musicians, but the Japanese peoples' idea of a band concert is strikingly different from what I grew up with.
Now I am living in NY and interning with an international non-profit organization called the Coalition for the International Criminal Court. I am also working at Bloomingdales to offset the internship, which is a strange and interesting experience.”

Benjamin Homelson-Meister is in his senior year at Dartmouth College. He will graduate with two degrees in June 2009: a B.A. in Computer Engineering and a B.E. Bachelor of Engineering. Upon graduation, he will be blowing his horn as a Program Manager at Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, Washington.

Carol Johnson was an adult horn student, who took lessons until her second son reached toddlerhood.  She tells me that her younger son Brian started alto saxophone this year.  Her older son Mark began horn lessons 2 years ago, and she reports: “Mark has continued with his french horn lessons.  I think he's doing really well.  He's playing my horn now.  He's taking private lessons from the high school teacher, Mrs. Kerwin. She said she was a student of yours.”  (Megan McGlynn Kirwin was my horn student in High School, went to University of Colorado at Boulder for her education degree, has completed her Master’s degree in conducting at Hartt, and has been teaching Music for several years now.) 

Laura Macca is a junior at at UConn and is a Pre-Med major.  This semester she has been doing "paper research" on mouse models for deafness and how to relate this to human deafness for a lab that she will be working in next semester and also my senior year.  Eventually she will write a thesis in this area.  She reports that unfortunately she doesn’t have the time availability to do anything with her horn right now (two to three three-hour labs per week in addition to class time and homework), but every time she sees the marching band or pep band she misses it and hopes to pick it up again.

Sarah Marikar is a junior at the University of Chicago now, majoring in Cinema and Media Studies, and is currently studying abroad for the year in Barcelona, Spain. This semester, she has been taking classes (primarily for cinematography) at a film school just outside of Barcelona called ESCAC, and next semester will be taking most of her classes at the University of Barcelona.  All classes are in Spanish, so she is hoping to be bilingual by the end of the year.  Sarah says:  “I was just thinking about you the other day and how much I really miss playing the horn. I even had the Corelli sonata (my last recital piece) stuck in my head.”

Kendall Moraski reports: “I have been doing great since high school; I'm in my sophomore year at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.  I have decided to focus on/probably major in First Nations Languages & Linguistics (First Nations are the Canadian equivalent of Native Americans).  I find it not only fascinating and relevant to my interests (as you know I love languages and pick them up easily), but I've found that it's also very important to the people involved and I like to consider it more of working towards saving these languages, language revitalization, etc.  Doing so is very culturally important to these peoples.  I'm also studying Anthropology and Linguistics.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to fit Horn in, or much studying music at all.  Hopefully when I get the chance I'll do something music-related soon, as I don't want to lose the ability, especially being able to read music or anything like that :)  I'm meeting a bunch of great people from all over the world and am enjoying my time in this city as much as I can.”

Katherine Nilson is a sophomore at Wesleyan University and has decided to be a Psychology and Religion double major.  She played in an Ensemble last year, and is hoping to play again next semester.

Kim Palmer is currently living in Hoboken, NJ and working in New York City (in Times Square) as Creative Manager for Asset Control, a financial software company. She finished her MFA from Parsons School of Design this May, and still plays the horn, but just for fun.  She has just told me that she is engaged and getting married this June!

Aaron Plude is a freshman at UConn, and is majoring in Engineering.  He is finding time to play Horn in the Concert Band there.

Faith Prelli is in the PsyD program (in Clinical Psychology) at University of Hartford, is working at Oak Hill, and just bought a house in Winsted, CT.

Jenny Sansom is a sophomore at Eastman School of Music, majoring in horn performance.  She has been playing in the orchestras there, and performed a solo recital in December.  Her teacher invited Jon Ney (Hartt CD trumpet graduate) to Eastman to perform with Jenny.

Samantha Spear is finishing her degree in Music Education at Messiah College, and presented a Senior Horn Recital in November.  She will be doing her student teaching this semester.

HSO Family Matinee Shows Kids and Adults How to Dance, Sing and Play with Classical Music
Interactive Program to Feature Movie Soundtracks and Orchestral Classics 

The Hartford Symphony Orchestra will show kids (and “kids at heart”) how to “Sing, Dance, Play!” with classical music at the second of this season’s Family Matinee concerts Saturday, February 14, 2009 at 3:00 pm at The Belding Theater in The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts. Led by Family Matinee conductor Marc Kaplan, this interactive program will feature movie music and orchestral classics, including selections from Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “The Little Mermaid,” Bernstein’s Overture to Candide, and Shostakovich’s Festive Overture.  As a bonus, audiences will get to hear a world premiere by local composer Greg Kallor and performances by youthful vocal soloists Suzanne Lis (soprano) and Alita Moses. 

           Suzanne Lis, is the daughter of HCD faculty members Jarek and Malgosia Lis (violin & suzuki piano).  Suzanne is a long-time Community Division student, and currently studies violin with Teri Einfeldt.

“Sing, Dance, Play!” was specifically designed to reach families; there is something for everyone,” says Family Matinee conductor Marc Kaplan.  “This repertoire will have people moving in their seats and wanting more!  The music is incredibly diverse, spanning all periods from classical to the modern day.  There will be music sung and played from movies, classical music which has inspired dance for today's music, and a world premiere of a new composition by Greg Kallor, who has been my best friend since we were in Kindergarten.  What is also very special about this concert is that all of the soloists are very talented young musicians who have been students of mine.  I think that every young musician in the audience will be inspired by seeing youth thriving on a professional stage.” 

Described as “energetic and stylish” by Jon Lender and “a ball of fire” by Hartford Symphony Music Director Edward Cumming, West Hartford native Marc Kaplan is recognized as one of the finest music educators in America.  In 2002, Marc became a faculty member at King Philip Middle School and Hall High School, where he received national recognition for his innovative educational programs.  Kaplan will lead the Hartford Symphony Orchestra for both the 2008-2009 Family Matinee Series and the 2008-2009 Discovery Series, as well as the “Symphony In The Schools” Chamber Concerts. 

Ticket Prices: $12, $14, $18, $20 for adults; $10 for children

Tickets can be purchased in person Monday through Friday between the hours of 10 am and 5 pm at Hartford Symphony Orchestra Ticket Services, 99 Pratt Street, Suite 500 in Hartford, by calling (860) 244-2999, or online at www.hartfordsymphony.org
