Legends of Jazz- Mentors in your own Backyard
Thomas J. Manuel, The Stony Brook School
There is probably nothing more inspiring than to hear and see musicians performing. Even more exciting though is to hear such talent from legends who can recount great experiences of being on the road, playing the historic venues of yester-year, and passing the torch of the do\`s and don\`t of recording, performing, etc.
Jazz is the universal language; state department tours have been lead by such greats as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and others. This workshop will present legends of jazz Teddy Charles on vibes, Jimmy Pirone on drums, Pete Chively on bass, Chuck Genduso on trumpet, and others. These octogenerian individuals are a “Who`s Who” of the jazz world. Their performance/discussion will inspire and entertain! These men and women live all around us and are effective teaching tools in our schools. They played with Basie, Coltrane, Miles, Kenton, Sinatra, Ella, and so many more. Their stories span the country from coast to coast and abroad. Collectively they represent the soundtrack of America from the 1930s through today. Come and be inspired by our Legends of Jazz as they pass the torch and inspire you continue in your own personal growth and teaching.
Presented will be creative ways to recognize, honor and incorporate these artists into your music program via workshops, concerts, and gala events.
Line, Text, Then Meaning: Abstract Choral Diction
Dr. David Fryling, Hofstra University
This session will provide a hierachichal approach to the challenge of choral diction and unity of choral sound. It will focus primarily on the following concepts: Healthy vocal phonation, vocal ensemble technique, choral diction & the International Phonetic Alphabet. Much of our time as choral conductor-educators is spent teaching our choirs how to sing healthily on their breath the correct lines, chords, and rhythms printed in the score. As a result, the complicated vocal ensemble technique of coordinating vowels and consonants with pitches and rhythms is too often glossed over-especially when the choristers are singing in their native language. By integrating the science of group vocal ensemble technique and the science of the phoneme into our daily rehearsal process, we then can focus on the art of creating more meaningful, moving, and human-centered choral concert experiences for performers and audiences alike.

Joseph Rutkowski and Alan Schwartz/Great Neck Schools
A goal of music education is to help instrumental students find opportunities to make music throughout their lives.

Chamber music is the one of the most intimate yet sophisticated of all genres of music performance. The subtle nonverbal dialogue, which must be maintained in the rehearsals and throughout the performance is difficult to describe. Traditionally, only the most accomplished young musicians attempt to study chamber music. This clinic hopes to demonstrate how student instrumentalists on all levels can become engaged in playing chamber music. Excerpts from the chamber music repertoire will be performed by the students of John L. Miller-Great Neck North High School and Great Neck South Middle School as well as audience members.

Is Art Really - and Urgently - About Life?
Marsha Rackow
Artist, educator, and Aesthetic Realism Consultant, Marcia Rackow, will discuss the work of three revolutionary artists--Leonardo da Vinci, David Smith, and Claude Monet--and show the urgency art has in our lives. How should we see the world we are in and the people close to us and far away? The honest, practical answer is in aesthetics: "The world, art, and self explain each other:" stated Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism, "each is the aesthetic oneness of opposites." Educators will learn how, in its purpose and technique, art is a guide to how every person wants to see because all art is fair to the aesthetic nature of the world.
David Hockney`s Secret Knowledge
Howard Nepo, Cold Spring Harbor Schools
New York State Standards suggest that students learn to “consult and interpret databases and a wide variety of primary sources". Art critic Roberto Longhi says, "Paintings are primary documents. Archival documents can be faked; critical judgments, not." As part of understanding the optics in Hockney`s theory we will examine Holbein`s masterpiece, "The Ambassadors".
David Hockney shocked the Art world when he claimed that some of the world`s greatest artists traced their paintings using optics, modern at the time. Rembrandt, Van Eyck and Vermeer are among a few that will be analyzed using slides from Hockney`s book. Participants will draw their own conclusions and see the graphic continuum that he uses to depict the ascent and consequent divergence of artists from the baseline of the last five hundred years on the axis of realism and the abstract.
Transformations History: An Exploration into the History and Anthropology of Masks and Painted Faces
Christopher Agostino
An interactive presentation on the history, uses and underlying concepts of masks and painted faces in world cultures, illustrated live on the faces of volunteers. An emphasis will be placed on how this conceptual approach to mask art can support mask-making programs in a school setting at any grade level. Included, as well, will be a visual demonstration of the linkage between traditional mask arts of Africa and the birth of Modern Art in the early 20th century.
To transform ourselves with masks and body art is a universal human art, practiced in every culture around the world. Anthropologists say that before we every painted on a cave wall we painted ourselves. Current research suggests that this initial act of art - this act of transforming our identity through an art process applied to our own skin - was coincidental with the first appearance of what we think of as the modern human consciousness. To explore this act, this urge to transform our appearance through art, is to touch upon the very quality that made us human.
Using Peace in Art Instruction
Shannon Murray, Northport-East Northport Schools
This mural project integrated with the third grade curriculum and was completed with the cooperation of the third grade classroom teachers.

Themes such as poetry and map skills were some of the relevant themes addressed in the third grade classrooms in conjunction with the mural. The large scale mural was approved and installed in Bellerose Ave. Elementary for future generations to enjoy.
This workshop will focus on the development of a large scale mural project through a series of preliminary chalk drawings, paintings, decoupage, silhouettes, ceramics and computer graphics. All participants will leave with a unit plan on peace, methods for delivering a peaces project and a peace watercolor which they will create during the workshop.
