The long version;

 

I’m starting a library program in June simply called Music Club.  It will be held every other Tuesday at 4pm and geared towards children 8-12, although any child 6-14 may attend.  We’ll explore different types of music, and learn about particular artists / composers, instruments and theory.

I’m already getting some amazing musicians and performers for the classes. They’ll be talking about their personal history as a musician,  how the instument works, what sort of places they play and record, going into depth about the instrument they play, is it the main source of income for them.. etc. The class is an hour long, and while they certainly don’t have to take up that entire timeslot, they are being given free rein to do so. And if the musicians want - at the end of class we can break the kids up into groups and have them go to instrument stations – getting to hold and play some of the instruments. 

Attched is a flyer for our first program.  Our Music Club kicks off June 14th at 4pm with Von Barlow's Jazz Journey! He's played with Ray Charles, Etta James, Harry Connick Jr  and Bunky Green  (...just to name a few) and he'll be coming to play with his band and talk with kids at the Main Library . 

Thanks!

PS. For our second installment (June 28th) we'll be having Tony Steve, a Jacksonville University professor of world and contemporary music, with a specialization in percussion. He'll be sharing with us how percussion instruments can be used for soundtracks for silent films.  We’re talking insane audio / visual presentation marimbas, all sorts of drums and maybe a gamelan.
