From the studio of Esther Marks,
Dear teachers,
My students Patrick, Alicia, Margaret, Joanne and Theo participated with about 50 other music students in Igudesman and Joo's "8 to 88" workshop at the Tilles Center a couple weeks ago. The artists worked with everyone on improvisation, creativity, and bringing more expression to music making. I was sad to see how most students froze up when asked to improvise on their instrument. It is certainly a skill we all need to remember to develop with our students. They also emphasized how important it is as musicians to exercise our bodies, and had everyone stretching and marching.
This photo is the "silly and serious pose" of participants taken at the end of the fun workshop.
Theo Marks tries to maintain focus on performing the Haydn cello concerto no matter what the distractions are!
Thank you all who participated!
