Universal Studios Trip
Universal Studios Trip
In Febuary, all music classes at Drew took a fun trip to universal studious. During this trip we re made a scene from the movie Trolls with just our voices and instruments. It was really cool seeing how it all came together and how production is a very tedious endeavor.

“Waterfalls” - Pamela Bruner
Classically trained on piano and cello, Pamela Bruner later found the Celtic harp a perfect accompaniment to her singing voice, and it quickly became the focus of her creative life. Pamela is known around the country for her dynamic harp & voice performances, powerful workshops, and gentle, encouraging teaching. She is also a professional life coach, working with people in all walks of life to empower them in living life joyfully. I chose this piece because it was the one that stood out to me the most. I like the arpeggios and different patterns the piece offers. The learning process was simple and easy. I learned each bar/repeat and went from there.

Mary Kay Waddington is a harpist and composer. After graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music with a degree in harp performance in the 70’s, Mary Kay was looking for a new, more ear-oriented way of teaching. That’s when she discovered the Suzuki method and knew it was just what was needed for young harp students. After studying with many fine Suzuki Piano teachers in the U.S. and for several months in Japan with Dr. Suzuki, she authored the Suzuki Harp Method which is now widely used by teachers and students throughout the world. Much of her time is dedicated to training teachers on how to use this approach. Gigue, meaning a lively piece of music in the style typically of the Renaissance or baroque period, and usually in compound time, is a nice peaceful piece that involves scales and arpeggios.
