Week 2: July 15-24, 2012

Recorder virtuoso Nina Stern and preeminent frame drummer Glen Velez will present a series of classes at the Amherst Early Music Festival this summer in New London, Connecticut. Based on their own researches into melodies and rhythms from across the globe and from the Middle Ages to the present, Nina and Glen have assembled a rich repertoire for music lovers to learn and enjoy: dances of the Balkans, eighteenth-century Armenian songs, estampies from Medieval Italy, and more.

This special program at the Amherst Early Music Festival is open to everybody, but is particularly suited for music teachers who want to enrich their teaching experience. Nina Stern's website is a great resource with information about her work with children around the world. Her experience as a teacher and master of the recorder will help you communicate with your students, fellow musicians, audiences, and friends.

In addition to classes with Nina and Glen, students will be able to choose from classes in other subjects, including vocal music, medieval and renaissance repertory, instrumental improvisation, large group playing, beginning instruments and more.
