THIRD STREET MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT

W elcome to the 2009-10 School Year! We are honored that youhave chosen Third Street Music School Settlement for yourmusic, dance, visual arts or preschool instruction. As the oldest

community school of music in the country, Third Street has a long historyof providing excellent instruction and community access to the arts. Wehope that your experience here will enrich every part of your life.

Third Street is as much about community as it is about the arts. Manyof our students start here as toddlers and remain until they graduate fromhigh school. Increasingly, more and more students are starting in middleschool, attracted to our now two-year-old Woodwinds, Brass & PercussionInitiative and our adult enrollment is growing, as well. Much of this senseof community is achieved through the special connection that developsbetween our gifted, dedicated and passionate faculty and the studentsthey teach. It is also strengthened by deep friendships developed in thechamber music and ensemble programs. The result is a close-knit familythat, for many, becomes a part of their lives for a lifetime.

Each year, we strive to keep our core programs as strong as they’vealways been while trying to meet the school’s and city’s changing needs.For instance, there is a dire need for programs for middle school-agechildren across the country and our Woodwinds, Brass & PercussionInitiative dovetails perfectly with this need. You see, winds and brassinstruments are especially suited to children who are older beginnersbecause the child, if motivated enough, can develop strong enoughskills to participate in ensembles or chamber music prior to graduatingfrom high school. And, we all know that playing with others is the surestway to keep a child interested in music. So, having more winds andbrass students at Third Street helps us meet the needs of a musicallyunderserved age group and it will make Third Street a musically richerand more diverse school.

Many of you know that I was trained as a pianist. While I don’t playnearly as much as I would like to these days, music remains an importantpart of my life. I am thrilled to see and hear Third Street’s students, youngand older, as they grow and fall in love with music, dance or the visualarts. This brings me more joy than you could imagine. My hope for youas you start or continue your studies at Third Street is that you, too, willmake music and the arts a part of your life for a lifetime.

Third Street Music School Settlement provides a nurturing

environment where children learn and grow through the arts.

Here, whether their interest is in music, dance or the visual arts,

students can achieve their highest potential.

MUSIC INSTRUCTION Music instruction is at the heart of Third Street’s mission. For over 115 years,the school has strived for excellence in teaching and for access to allwith the goal of creating a better society. The mission of the school isnot specifically to turn its young students into professional musicians,yet, because of the school’s excellent faculty and strong programs, themost motivated and talented students gain the skills required to pursuea career in music, if they so desire. The school is equally committed tostudents who desire the general enrichment and sense of accomplishmentthat the study of music can provide. All students are an important and integralpart of the Third Street community. The school is also committed to

YOUN

GPE

OPLE

Y O U N G P E O P L E 9

promoting a nurturing and supportive environment for music learning. It iscustomary for the school’s faculty to establish strong relationships with youngstudents and with their parents.

Third Street offers individual lessons, partner lessons and group classes inmost instruments and voice and the school’s music programs are appropriate forstudents of all ages and levels of proficiency, from beginning to professional. Thesequential curriculum ensures that beginning students will, over time, gain thetechnical proficiency and knowledge that will enable them to make music anactivity they can enjoy for a lifetime. Young students who study string instruments,piano or flute can choose between a traditional method of instruction or the Suzukiapproach, both of which are described in more detail in the following section.

The highly regarded and popular chamber music and ensemble programsare hallmarks of Third Street’s rich program and foster the school’s strong senseof community. Many of Third Street’s students participate in one or both ofthese programs and the result is an increased love of music, greater technicalproficiency and expanded social contacts.

Performance is an extremely important part of Third Street’s musical life withmore than 250 recitals held each year. Students are encouraged to take advantageof as many performance opportunities as possible, from weekly Music Hoursand studio recitals to special events such as the 20th/21st Century MusicConcert, Holiday Concert, BachFest, Concerto Night, String ‘Stravaganza andthe Stowe C. Phelps Annual Student Concert.

The music program consists of five activities vital to a child’s music education:

• Individual, Partner or Group Lessons, offered in half hour, forty-five minuteand one hour increments, are the foundation of a student’s music education.Concentrated work and individual attention promote the development of astudent’s skills and enthusiasm. Lessons are available for voice and the followinginstruments: Piano, Strings (violin, viola, ‘cello, bass), Guitar, Woodwinds (flute,recorder, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophones), Brass (trumpet, French horn,trombone, tuba), Percussion (drum set, hand drums or Latin). For those interestedin an instrument that is not listed here, please contact the Registrar.

• Musicianship Classes such as Theory and Composition help to reinforce thelearning that takes place during lessons. A deeper knowledge of how musicis constructed helps students perform better, learn more quickly and havemore fun.

• Chamber Music, Ensembles and other Group Activities are among the mostimportant and enjoyable experiences for any musician. In addition todeveloping new musical skills, playing in a group helps young students learnhow to work with each other, develop a sense of responsibility and expandtheir social horizons.

• Performance Opportunities give children the satisfaction and self-confidenceimportant to their personal and musical development. Also important is theimprovement in listening and concentration skills derived from hearing othersplay. Among the many performance opportunities at Third Street are the

weekly Music Hours where students try out new pieces or polish up ones they’vebeen working on for a while and a yearly studio recital with other students ofthe same teacher. (Participation in a studio recital is substituted for oneindividual lesson.)

• At-home practice is essential. Learning how to practice effectively andefficiently is a skill that music students will utilize in all parts of their lives.Each teacher provides practice tips and techniques that will make lesson timemore fruitful and enjoyable. The amount of time a student practices varieswith his/her age and skill level. For example, 12-15 minutes a day might besufficient for a beginning music student between the ages of 5 and 7. Anadvanced teenager might practice an hour or more each day. For most students,consistency is perhaps even more important than the length of practice time.

“TRADITIONAL” METHOD INSTRUCTION (for all instruments)There isn’t one traditional method of teaching music. The best teachers bring thebest of what they have learned through their own training and experience anddevelop an approach that enables them to effectively respond to the individualneeds of each student. In general, however, the traditional approach to music studyintegrates note reading with actual playing and the repertoire is customized tothe student’s needs and interests. The traditional approach is suited to childrenover the age of five where parents support their children by providing a con-centrated learning environment and regular practice sessions at home.

SUZUKI METHOD INSTRUCTION (piano, violin, viola, ’cello, bass, flute)The Suzuki Method of instruction, which is as much a life philosophy as it isa method, was developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki in Japan after the end ofWorld War II. Dr. Suzuki believed that all children are innately musical, thatthey can excel musically, and that a “beautiful heart,” sensitivity and disciplinecan be achieved through hearing and playing music when started early in life.The Suzuki Method is most effective when started with very young children.

Here are some basic hallmarks of the Suzuki Method:

• The method is based on the way children learn their native language—by listeningand imitating. Pieces are learned by ear (without reading music) and playedfrom memory. Note reading is incorporated later on in the child’s training.

• Parent, teacher and child are all active participants in the learning process.Parents must be willing to learn the instruction method and to make acommitment to attend all of their children’s lessons, group classes andperformances. Parents are also required to participate in home practice.

• The curriculum uses a common repertoire which is organized by Books atadvancing levels, starting with Book 1. The common repertoire enables studentsto play with each other and creates an international community of Suzuki learners.

Y O U N G P E O P L E1 0

• In addition to individual or partner lessons, young Suzuki piano students arerequired to attend weekly repertoire classes. The purpose of this class is to reviewand reinforce pieces learned in individual lessons while developing musicalityand ensemble playing skills, often using games to highlight important technical points.Repertoire classes also promote development of musical rapport among students.

PIANOThe piano department welcomes students of all ages and levels, from beginningthrough professional. Individual and partner lessons as well as group classes areavailable. The faculty uses a variety of approaches including “Traditional” andSuzuki methods (described previously) in a sequential curriculum of progressivelevels. Faculty are flexible in utilizing different styles of repertoire includingpopular, jazz, classical or rock. Prior to enrolling, prospective parents attend“Piano at Third Street,” an informational session that provides an overview of thepiano department and its various teaching approaches, expectation for homesupport and performance opportunities. Subsequently, families meet with thedepartment chairperson to evaluate the best method for the child and his/herfamily and the child’s level or readiness for lessons.

Included in the Suzuki Method tuition is a weekly Piano Repertoire Class whichis scheduled at the discretion of the chairperson in consultation with the classteacher and individual lesson teacher. Piano Repertoire Class is required ofSuzuki Method students under the age of 10 and available to all other pianostudents upon request.

Anaudition is required.

There are six student chamber music concerts each year and every groupperforms. Works by Beethoven, Dvorak, Stoessel, Britten, Mozart and Brahmsare just some of the wide range of repertoire studied and performed.

Chamber music students are fortunate to experience the rich chamber musiclife that New York has to offer. The Chamber Music Program has collaboratedwith the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Orpheus ChamberOrchestra. They have been involved in master classes with great artists such asArnold Steinhardt, Pamela Frank, Fred Sherry and Erin Keefe.

As the oldest community music school in the United States, Third Street MusicSchool Settlement has served as a model for community schools of the artsnationwide. Third Street's founding was based on the Settlement House mission

to improve impoverished communities. In 1894, Emilie Wagner, a social worker andmusician, opened the Music School Settlement offering piano and violin lessons andhuman services to children living in the grim tenements of the Lower East Side. Today,a tribute to its founder, Third Street still serves immigrant populations and low-incomefamilies of all backgrounds. In acknowledgment of its Settlement roots, Third Street devotesroughly 40% of its annual budget to tuition assistance programs, free or discountedinstructional activities, public school partnerships and free community concerts thatenhance the cultural life of the community and enrich the lives of nearly 4,000 studentsannually. Third Street's success in carrying out its mission has been the result of sustainedcommunity partnerships, generous supporters, skilled teaching artists, a dedicatedstaff and board and a student body with the passion and will to learn and excel.

Third Street Music School Settlement is proud to be a founding member of the NationalGuild of Community Schools of the Arts and the New York City Coalition of CommunitySchools of the Arts as well as an affiliate member of United Neighborhood Houses.The school also wishes to acknowledge the many individuals, foundations, corporationsand government agencies that make its programs possible.

It is the policy of Third Street not to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, creed,color, ethnic or national origin, age, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, citizenshipstatus, military status or disability in its employment practices or in the administrationof its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship programs or other school-administered programs or activities. In the Preschool Program, socialization and theclassroom dynamic are key components in learning; therefore, every effort is madeto provide gender-balanced classes. Third Street is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
