In addition to sharing some
pictures from our beach trip yesterday, the staff also wanted to share some
updates on two of the program's academic disciplines. They are all diligently back in class today after yesterday's beach excursion (see previous post) and looking forward to the faculty performances this evening!
Vocal and Choral Rehearsals:
In choir and voice, students have
been addressing the process to an organic production of sound with instructor
Nicole Sonbert. They are discovering a better, complete understanding of
diaphragmatic breathing, resonance, and articulation. Specifically in
voice, performers are working to feel the physiological processes of singing,
striving for an amalgamation of the cognitive, kinesthetic, and visual.
Choir and voice students are given a better understanding, daily, as to
the structure and process of learning music and preparing their voices.
The following pieces will
ultimately be performed by the choir at the conclusion of the program:
"Dona Nobis Pacem",
Latin Hymn
"Bella Donna"
"Pie Jesu", Andrew Lloyd Webber, arr. By
John Leavitt
"Dominie Deus", J.S. Bach, arr. By Doreen Rao
"Gloria
Tibi from Mass", Leonard Bernstein
"Shine on Me", Traditional
Spiritual, arr. By Rollo Dilworth
Visual Arts
Our visual arts students have
been hard at work completing two projects assigned. With the help of
instructor Raúl Miyar, students are creating self-portraits as well
as projects representative of the individual’s personal experience of
Spoleto. Both assignments must be developed from direct observation;
please enjoy some pictures of our artists at work!
