Editor’s Note: This is the final post in a series of 3 by NEC voice student Lauren Flaherty.

As another semester at Club Passim’s School of Music begins to end I am submitting my portfolio and this final blog. Our program continues to expand and shows no signs of suffering from people’s anticipation of good weather and potential travel. I feel confident that we will finish the school year strong and will be very busy next Fall!

My students have continued to grow in lessons with me as well as through participation in school ensembles, local performances, auditions and personal music projects. I continue to teach students of different levels and goals but feel everyone is making progress. Most importantly, the music school, specifically my private studio, continues to be a positive place to learn, take risks and be respected by other music lovers.

Editor’s Note:  This is the 5th post in a long series with an inside view of the planning and production for our department’s first-ever intra-departmental MIE Concert!

Dear Performers/Directors/Composers,

Included below is the schedule for Wednesday’s program as we have it for now. We tried our best to accommodate any special requests that we received. Does the timing of this work out for everyone? Please let us know if there is anything that needs to be reconsidered.

Most of the performances are estimated at 10 minutes and I accounted for 2 minutes between pieces for transitions/the unexpected.

Hello,

Tomorrow, March 5th from 6-8 we will be rehearsing in SB 300 for the MIE concert. Specifically, we will be looking at Larry’s piece based on the power-song, Pachelbel’s Canon. Please bring your instruments and your voices. We need singers and different instrumentalists, prepared for fun and the unexpected. Please reply and let me know if you are able to make it. Feel free to invite other voices to class as well.

Also, we need ushers! We have a really cool seating plan, but we need two volunteers to do this. Please let me know if this is something that you would like to do. You may be both a performer and an usher at the concert – That is totally okay! We just need someone to stand up and take this important responsibility in order to assure its success.

Thanks!
