Franklin Music Academy Presents - South Austin Junior Pops

[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 03:48:45 09/28/11
Following in the tradition of any major "pops" orchestra, the South Austin Junior Pops travel the city performing an array of light classical music, jazz, classic 20th century pop music, and traditional folk songs from around the world. The vast repertoire performed by the ensemble, scaled down to a "junior" level, functions as both a source of joy and inspiration for the listening audience, as well as an educational experience for the group's members. The "Junior Pops" is the pride of the Franklin Music Academy and is an auditioned group. Students in this elite ensemble must practice daily and come to rehearsal twice a week for an hour at the academy. Established in 2010, the Franklin Music Academy generated a new innovative approach to music instruction in a classroom setting. The combination of ensemble playing and private instruction, all customized and tailored to individual needs, provides the well rounded musical experience essential to creating both competent and expressive musicians. Students are instructed in musical literacy, theory, technical fluency, and history. This is all done in a fun, relaxed, interactive classroom setting where students are as much able to learn from each other as from the instructor. Class size ranges anywhere from between 2 to 6 students per group. Group placement is based upon age, ability, and instrument. The Academy also functions as a forum through which kids can try new things. Many of our students play a secondary instrument. After basic musical competency is demonstrated on a primary instrument, students are encouraged to select something else to try out. This works as an incentive for commitment to an initial instrument as well as a means of finding each individual's proper fit and place in an ensemble. All instructors at the Franklin Music Academy are certified music educators in the state of Texas and are either currently performing professionally or have done so in the past. Filmed and produced by Jeff Zavala. A ZGraphix production. http://zgraphix.org My TIP JAR
