Third Street’s orchestra students began a new exchange when, on February 2, 2013, students from Philadelphia’s Settlement Music School traveled to New York to participate in a weekend of rehearsals, workshops and cultural activities with the students from Third Street’s Sinfonia and Philharmonia Orchestras.

The day began for Sinfonia students and Intermediate students from Philadelphia with a side-by-side rehearsal led by Third Street’s Steve Rochen and Settlement’s Kaveh Saidi. The students worked on Eric Ewazen’s Four Royal Dances and Leroy Anderson’s Plink Plank Plunk. Following lunch, students attended Piano Music Hour and had the chance to observe informal student recitals.

The students in Philharmonia and Settlement’s Trowbridge Orchestra began their day by attending a workshop led by

violinist Trina Basu, an expert in Indian traditions, who taught students about improvising in the classical Indian style and had them experiment with composition using the Indian Raga. Following the workshop, students participated in a walking tour of the East Village led by historian Nick O’Han, touring local places of interest including the East Village Cinema, which was once home to the Yiddish Art Theater; St. Mark’s Place; The Public Theater; and The Cube at Astor Place.

In the afternoon, students switched schedules: the younger students took the walking tour with Nick, followed by the Indian improvisation workshop, and the older students participated in a side-by-side rehearsal with their peer orchestras. The Philharmonia Orchestra, led by Sibylle

In 2010, Third Street Music School Settlement began a long-range planning process to determine how to serve its community more broadly

and more effectively. While periodic long-range planning processes are common, this one was especially important because it was prompted by an unexpected real estate opportunity that could have solved the School’s serious space challenges. The series of studies that followed, which included

input from many of you, helped us know more about what we do well, what we want to do better and what resources would be required to make that possible. Here are some of the results:

2010 Vision Statement: Within the next ten years, Third Street Music School Settlement will be the nation’s premier community school of music, governed by the dual goals of access and excellence; providing a broad range of music-centered programs for preschool and school-age children, teens and adults, and; effectively engaging socio-economically and ethnically diverse communities primarily from lower Manhattan in a welcoming and nurturing environment in which all are encouraged to achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love of music.

Third Street’s community appreciates and wants to retain its: 1) Warm and welcoming environment; 2) Strong focus on the process of music and dance learning; and 3) Current programmatic focus on forms based in the Western classical tradition (including Jazz and Rock), but delivered more effectively and more deeply.

Areas of priority include:Access: Developing and expanding programs that increase socio-economic, racial, ethnic, gender and life-stage diversity.Excellence: Maintaining and improving programmatic and administrative excellence.Facilities: Identifying adequate and appropriate space in which to deliver programs.Finances: Developing an economically sustainable model to support access and excellence goals.

What we’ve learned: Many ideas for programs and activities, coming from community members like you, will enable Third Street to address these priorities. The most important endeavor at this time is to build the School’s financial resources so that, within the next 8 to 10 years, Third Street can achieve these goals.

A lot has been learned about the School and its community over these past three years, and the brevity of this summary belies the enormous effort made and knowledge gained. Third Street is grateful to all the students, parents, faculty, staff, board of directors, donors and consultants who have participated in this long-range planning process. With your support, Third Street will continue to move forward in its second century of service to the community.

Johner, and the Trowbridge Orchestra, led by Jeri Lynne Johnson, rehearsed Mozart’s Divertimento and composer and bandoneón player JP Jofre’s Three Tango Movements. Third Street was fortunate to have Mr. Jofre on-site for the rehearsal to help coach the students and play the bandoneón solo.

The day concluded with an informal performance of the students’ orchestral efforts in the Anna-Maria Kellen Auditorium. Following the performance everyone was invited to socialize at a reception hosted by parents of students in the Sinfonia and Philharmonia Orchestras.

Some of the students from Philadelphia spent the night in New York to attend the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra performance at Carnegie Hall the next day. Approximately 30 students from both schools took advantage of this opportunity made possible by Third Street. The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra’s amazing performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 and Symphony No. 9, conducted by Daniel Barenboim, deepened the weekend’s lessons of cultural exchange, as Divan’s young musicians hail from the Middle East – Egyptians, Iranians, Israelis, Jordanians, Lebanese, Palestinians and Syrians.

The next part of this exchange happened in early April, when students from Third Street traveled by bus to visit Settlement Music School for a weekend of similar activities in Philadelphia, including, for students over the age of 13, an overnight stay followed by a day of local cultural activities.

Settlement Music School, which has branches serving every zip code in the eight-county Philadelphia region, provides a multitude of weekly services to children and adults including individual lessons, classes and activities in music, dance and visual arts.

At its March 6 meeting, Third Street’s Board of Directors elected a new chairman and officers and is pleased to announce that Vincent c. Perro, who has been serving on the Board since 2008 and leading Strategic Planning efforts, will now serve as

Chairman. erik d. Lindauer, who served as Vice Chairman, will now serve as Vice President along with roni Kohen-Lemle.

Students at Bard High School Early College (BHSEC) sign on to an educational experience unlike any other in New York City. This public

high school, a unique partnership between Bard College and the New York City Department of Education, opened its Manhattan campus a decade ago. BHSEC combines a rigorous high school education with the first two years of college. From day one, students are immersed in a curriculum rich in writing, inquiry and the arts.

Third Street is delighted to partner with BHSEC to provide music and dance education. Faculty members from Third

Street travel to Bard’s East Houston Street building to lead a broad range of subjects and programs, such as 10th-grade and college dance ensembles offered to interested students. Led by modern dancer Pearl Marasigan, the students learn to create and perform their own dances – sometimes to the accompaniment of BHSEC’s music ensembles. Pearl, like so many of Third Street’s faculty members, energizes her classroom by tapping into the talents and interests of her students.

Students with an interest in music have a number of options, including world drumming. Glenn Healy, a former psychologist and current percussion instructor, started using drumming with students as a means of anger management in other schools. Glenn now leads the BHSEC drumming ensemble, teaching African, Brazilian and Caribbean rhythmic patterns, exploring the cultural contexts of each oral tradition along the way.

Annie Lee Moffet, an opera singer and actress, leads BHSEC’s chorus. During the school’s Winter Concert in December, the chorus performed a rendition of Duke Ellington’s Mood Indigo that rivaled the performances of many traditional four-year college a cappella groups.

Nick Scarim, who manages Third Street’s partnership with BHSEC, conducts the

school’s instrumental ensembles, including the chamber orchestra and rock ensemble. He started the rock ensemble because students in his advanced guitar class wanted to perform with singers. Soon, his tiny classroom was filled with bass players, guitarists, drummers and vocalists belting out everything from Ella to Adele. Says Rayna Holmes, an especially gifted singer who plays flute in Nick’s chamber orchestra, “Mr. Scarim and all the instrumental ensembles here at Bard High School Early College give us students a chance to be expressive in a well-guided and free environment. I love being a part of the orchestra.”

Third Street’s partnership with BHSEC succeeds because it is integrated into the life of the school, with teachers and administrators from both sides forming a collaborative partnership to develop the curriculum. Michael Lerner, the Principal of BHSEC, says, “Third Street’s teachers are outstanding. Most have been with us for five years or more, and they’re a vital part of our community.” What started in 2004 as a flute class for three students has grown to become a comprehensive partnership in music and dance. Today, Third Street faculty members help 250 BHSEC students each year discover the musician or dancer within.

Third Street Music School Settlement’s Woodwinds, Brass and Percussion Department is experiencing another exciting year of growth. In addition to many new performance ensembles and opportunities

that have sprouted up over the past two years, including the Recorder Ensemble, Saxophone Quartet, Orchestral Percussion Ensemble and the ISO Symphonic Band at Third Street, the department has welcomed four fantastic new faculty members:

BRaNdoN TeSh , Director of Bands and one of Third Street’s new saxophone teachers, recently performed with the Four Tops and the Temptations on their winter tour. Brandon is also an instructor at The Governor’s School of North Carolina, a summer residential program for intellectually gifted and artistically talented high school students that emphasizes the exploration and connection of contemporary ideas between multiple academic and artistic fields. This year, Brandon gave a concert with his own Jazz Quartet on March 15 as part of Third Street’s Artist Performance Series.

JacoB TeIchRoew , also a saxophone teacher, is director of Third Street’s Prelude Band and a regular performer with the salsa group, Grupo Arcano, whose album Desde el otro lado del East River made “Best of 2012” lists all over the world. He recently played with the Le Zhang ensemble, featuring Antonio Hart, at the renowned Manhattan venue, The Stone. Keep an eye out for Jacob’s debut record as a band leader, Tableaux, which will be released later this year on Fresh Sound New Talent Records.

JaSoN PRoVeR , Third Street’s new trumpet faculty member, recently returned from a Turner Classic Movies Cruise with the Hot Sardines. The group, of which Jason is a regular member, has sold out Joe’s Pub twice so far this year. He also performs with the Tennessee Williams Project, playing music that underscores many of Williams’s stories.

The School’s new low brass instructor, MaRK BRoSchINSKY , can be seen subbing in the Broadway pit at Mary Poppins and performing around the country with the trombone quartet, The Guidonian Hand, of which he is a regular member.

Third Street is thrilled that these four talented artists have decided to join this vibrant and diverse community.

Special Guest Spotlight

Each year, Third Street welcomes accomplished guest artists to conduct master classes and workshops for its students, and this past school year has been no different.

In October, Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt, who has been hailed as “the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time” (The Guardian), conducted a master class for advanced piano students. On January 3, 2013, composer and pianist George Walker, the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music, attended Third Street’s Artist Performance Series “Music Made in America” concert, which featured his works. His son, Gregory Walker, also an accomplished composer and violinist, joined Piano Department Chair Joan Forsyth in this concert to perform his father’s compositions. Gregory Walker visited Third Street in December to conduct a master class for chamber music students as well as an improvisation workshop. Other accomplished guest artists this past year have included: composer and bandoneón player JP Jofre; violinist Trina Basu, an expert in Indian traditions; and Billy Hunter the Principal trumpet player for the Metropolitan Opera. On April 20, Third Street welcomed renowned con-cert pianist Ann Schein for a master class for piano students. Look to E-News, the School’s Web site and hallway bulletin boards for upcoming announce-ments on guest artists.

Countless musical styles are embedded into the founda-tions of life at Third Street. Among those emphasized is jazz, the roots of which epitomize certain elements of music, character and creativity that are so strongly

encouraged within the Third Street community. More students at Third Street are asking about these elements, so the Beat is taking this opportunity to share with you why it’s so important.

Jazz is music that celebrates the community, individual expression and taking risks. It flourished at the beginning of the 20th century in various places around the country. New Orleans would become a central catalyst with its symphony houses, trained Creole musicians, military marching bands, Mississippi delta blues traditions and African influence. The music would expand to the northern urban cities following World War I, where it emerged on the national stage thanks to younger generations. It brought down racial barriers and popularized African-American musical traits that would set the stage for Rock N’ Roll, Rhythm & Blues and the music of today.

Improvisation plays a large role in jazz performance. It is the spontaneous creation of new musical material, and has been practiced for centuries with composers including Bach and Mozart. Solo musicians will typically play

a written phrase and improvise their own melody on top. The other musicians can improvise accompaniment

underneath the soloist in an interactive way. When you listen to live jazz, you are

hearing the creation of a new work and participating in the moment.

The other cornerstone of jazz is rhythm. It emerged as a music of dancing, and “swing” was the answer. This simple groove revolves around the quarter note and a layering of various rhythms on top

of it. In the words of Miles Davis, “If you’re not moving, you’re doing something wrong.”

Jazz has evolved since its early days into a dynamic collection of styles and artists. There is some-

In January, Piano Department Chair Joan Forsyth, piano faculty member Nathaniel LaNasa and Guitar Department Chair David Moreno traveled to Toronto and completed a course to become adjudicators for the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program (initially launched as the Carnegie Hall Royal Conservatory Achievement Program), of which Third Street is a founding member and assessment center.

Woodwinds faculty member Bonita Lubinsky performed flute and piccolo in the world premiere of Directions, a new composition by Douglas Anderson based on a text by award-winning librettist Andrew Joffe. The concert was held at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Brooklyn.

thing in the music for everyone. Learning jazz is as simple as playing a favorite melody and changing one note or rhythm. Many of the musical skills that students learn in their lessons are directly connected to performing jazz. Musicians have to be good listeners, accepting of other ideas and quick on their feet. These are helpful skills that spill over into everyday life.

Third Street has a number of jazz ensembles, combos and jazz theory classes. Many of the School’s instructors teach jazz and improvisation in individual lessons. Contact Student Support Services at 212-777-3240, ext. 18 or 30, when you are ready to swing!

What Is Jazz?

“Bye Bye, Blackbird as performed by the Miles Davis Quintet — that’s the first memory I have of jazz. I can remember how curious the music made me; how the instruments’ melodies and rhythms sounded unlike anything I’d ever heard before. Since then, I’ve kept my ears open for similar sounds and have discovered a culture of community, mentorship and creativity.”

At Third Street, learning continues year-round. The Summer Arts Camp and early childhood programs welcome young children for a summer filled with dance, music, art and fun

in the sun. Older children and teens have the opportunity to advance their studies through individual lessons, partner lessons, Summer Prelude Band and workshops, including the Summer Dance Workshop, Chamber Music Workshop and Piano

Ensemble Workshop. Third Street’s Center for Music Theory & Composition continues a schedule of classes to jumpstart growth and encourage a deeper understanding of music rudiments and composition. The learning also continues for adults through Adult Group Guitar instruction and the New Horizons Summer Band. Registration for summer programs opened in March and continues through June, or until programs are fully enrolled.

Brass faculty member Jason Prover, a member of the Hot Sardines, is spreading the good word of traditional jazz as the band travels around the world. In addi-tion to playing in the likes of the Caribbean and Paris, the band plays regularly at such New York venues as the Standard Hotel and Joe’s Pub. Jason is currently working on his first album as lead with his band, The Sneak Thievery Orchestra.

Woodwinds faculty member Brandon Tesh has been named the new Instrumental Music Instructor for the summer program of the Governor’s School of North Carolina  (see In the Spotlight article on page 5 for more information about the Governor’s School). He will be

conducting wind ensembles and jazz bands, teaching individual lessons, coor-dinating a John Cage music festival and leading lectures for the entire Governor’s School population. 

Third Street’s Director of Programs, Shalisa Kline Ugaz, served as a panelist for a lecture on the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program at the National Guild For Community Arts Education’s 75th annual Conference, held November 14-17 in Dallas, Texas.

Former piano faculty member Margaret Mills’s papers and memorabilia, which she has been collecting since she was a teenager, have recently been accepted for inclusion in the New York Public Library American Music Collection at

Lincoln Center.Six Third Street flute students—Nathan

Atherley, Alex Bactat, Karina Burnett, Josie Ingall, Emily Kabat and Minla Stokes—participated in the American premiere of Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino’s Il cerchio tagliato dei suoni, held in the Guggenheim Museum rotunda. Four flute soloists and more than 100 migrating flutists (Third Street’s students among them) surrounded the audience, conjuring aural and visual images of the “circularity of time and space.”

In an effort to represent the growing number of adult students who are studying music at the School, Third Street’s Parents

Association is now known as the Third Street Parents & Adult Students Association (PASA). Additionally, the number of parent liaisons (which represent the various departments in the school) has doubled this year.

PASA held its first steering committee- led meeting on December 15, 2012, and discussed various items involving students and parents, such as the Achievement Program (now known as the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program) and the Holiday Music Hour. To find out when the next meeting is taking place, visit the PASA page on Third Street’s Web site: thirdstreetmusicschool.org/who_parents.htm. All parents and adult students are welcome and urged to attend.

Scholarship Fund Announcement

Third Street Music School Settlement is honored to be the recipient of a generous donation from Dr. Helmuth Hans Fuchs, a retired chemistry professor and composer, to establish the Helmuth Hans Fuchs Scholarship Fund. Composing since age 15, Dr. Fuchs has written many works for piano as well as orchestra

and chamber groups. Many of the scores for these works will be held at Third Street for use by faculty and students. Some pieces were composed in honor of piano faculty member Daniela Bracchi, who was instrumental in introducing Dr. Fuchs to Third Street. The endowed scholarship will benefit piano students with financial need who are committed to their studies and demonstrate artistic achievement.
