Description

2010 Student Interns: Jennifer Giza, Marina Lombardi, Jessica Nesin & Aimee Pelosi (left to right). The WCM Artist Coaching Project’s performing artists collaborate each year with school music teachers, providing intensive student coaching for their bands, orchestras, chamber music ensembles and in private lessons. WCM artists work in conjunction with teachers to establish sessions according the the needs of their students, and flexible residencies are set up according to the needs of each music department. WCM artists can travel to the schools for one–day sessions over the course of a school year, for example, or they can come as needed for shorter terms. The Project has included intense coaching with school chamber music groups; individual lessons to supplement private school lessons on their instruments, and assisting directors by playing side–by–side with students in various ensembles. Since the 2006–07 school year, WCM’s work with public school students has grown to encompass cross–curriculum Arts in Education projects. Funding for this important work has come from Arts Partners Challenge Grants, a New York State Council on the Arts Local Capacity Building Initiative of its Arts in Education Program, administered through ArtsWestchester.
