Fa17 Catalog by Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA)

Letter from our Executive Director Dear Friends, Welcome to the 2017 Fall Semester at the Community School of Music and Arts! We are thrilled to announce some exciting new additions to our art and music programs: Our Music School is launching a new Music Certificate Program (pg. 7), offering students a well-rounded, sequential, comprehensive program for music study. At all certificate levels, students will be encouraged to take part in private lessons, music theory or other music classes; to participate in performances; and to attend CSMA’s concert series. Our Art School will be hosting a new series of one-day Art Workshops (pgs. 21-22), featuring a variety of interesting themes, including iPad art, mixed media construction, alternative painting techniques and more. These short workshops are a great way to try out a new art medium or learn a new skill. Now more than ever, it is so important to support the arts and arts education. We are committed to making accessibility to the arts possible for every student in our community. To this end, we offer a generous financial aid program. Our financial aid process is easy – see page 4 of this catalog to get started. On behalf of CSMA’s staff, faculty, and Board of Directors, thank you for being a part of our community, for your continued support of our programs and for believing in the power of the arts! Sincerely,

Vickie Scott Grove Executive Director

Financial Aid Available for All Programs In keeping with our commitment to Arts For All, CSMA offers tuition assistance to qualified students. To apply, visit our Student Services office or download the forms at arts4all.org.

New Music Theory Program

CSMA’s Music Theory program is an integral part of our complete music education. At all skill levels, students have the opportunity to enhance their private instrument lessons by studying music theory. Why Study Music Theory?

Music theory is reading and writing the language of music. Our program teaches basic music comprehension skills to reinforce and expand on what is learned in private instrument lessons. Studying music theory helps students understand how the pieces they play are organized, making them better readers of music. Understanding music theory, and the language of music, makes better musicians.

Interested?

• CSMA private lesson students receive a 50% discount on one Music Theory (or other Core Curriculum) class each semester (except summer). • For more information, as well as direction on class placement, contact Heather Paisar, Music Classes Program Coordinator, at 650-917-6800, ext. 312, or email musicclasses@arts4all.org.

What’s New?

In Fall 2017, CSMA is changing the curriculum for music theory classes to coordinate with the new textbooks. All concepts will remain the same, however a new numbering system will take effect. See the Current Student Placement Plan chart. Returning students should check their Music Theory Assessment Report or contact their CSMA Music Theory teacher for the correct course recommendation. New students should contact Heather Paisar (hpaisar@arts4all.org) for information on placement.

MUSIC THEORY LEVELS

• Theory 1-8: CSMA recommends levels 1-8 for all students. This is a great foundation of music theory fundamentals and gives students the tools they need to make connections between theory and performance. • Harmony (Beg, Int, Adv): Harmony courses are advanced courses that cover harmonic function and analysis - how concepts are put together to form musical phrases and compositions. These are upper level courses designed for students with a firm understanding of theoretical concepts. • Music Theory for Adults I-IV: Music theory classes are available for adult students at all levels, from beginning to advanced.

Our Preschool Faculty - In Their Own Words MUSIC FACULTY

Daniel Garcia

“I have worked many years as an early childhood educator and I weave music into my daily curriculum. My background allows me to bring a unique teaching style to my classes, incorporating singing with guitar, musical games, movement and exploration of rhythm instruments.”

Christina Christiansen

“I received my musical education from the Ithaca College School of Music, and have experience as an early childhood music educator in the Bay Area. I have a strong background in voice and I love creating music and movement with preschool-age children. I believe that all young children are capable of making music and can benefit from musical exploration.”

ART FACULTY

Chaia May

“I have been teaching music and movement classes for the last 25 years throughout the Bay Area. My background includes training as a teacher in Music Together, Baby Suzuki, OrffShulwerk, voice, dance and studies in early childhood development.”

Christina Stein

“I have a background in music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. I have taught music and movement to young children for several years and also have a thorough knowledge of brass instruments and music theory. I enjoy exposing young children to the joys of music making!”

Lena Boot

“My passion is working with preschool-age children, giving them opportunities to be creative in art. In the style of Reggio Emelia, I provide a creative art environment that gives children the opportunity to observe, inquire, explore and use fine motor and cognitive skills. Art provides them with an awareness of themselves and their surroundings.”

Charlene Chow

“I believe in the beauty of the process of art making and experimenting with materials. Nature, animals and the seasons inspire what projects I come up with. My daughter Hattie, who is almost 2 and a half is my best teacher.”

I love working with preschoolers! I have experience choreographing dance routines and teaching fine and gross motor skills to dancers of all ages.”

“My teaching philosophy is to think outside the box to inspire children of all ages to see and appreciate art in their everyday life. I believe that every single person is a born artist. With my hope of making art accessible to all, I bring my enthusiasm, a strong design background, and my love for fellow humans and the world around us to every class I teach.”

Ximena Vilela

“I love encouraging preschool age children to find their own creative individuality through hands on and motor skills experience. I graduated with an AA degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise and have been teaching art to preschoolers for 2 years. I am currently studying for my child development certificate.”
