Vancouver Island Symphony announces
NEW Grade 4 Education Program!
An all new Education Program and Show “My Symphony”– This year the Vancouver Island Symphony’s Outreach and Education is launching a four-part integrated music education program in partnership with three school districts (# 68, 71 and 72, Aspengrove, Ecole Océane & Nanaimo Christian Schoo) on the Island. On February 13th 2014, for the first time ever, ALL Grade 4 students from these districts will be attending the Symphony. In addition, the Vancouver Island Symphony will be sending a musician to perform at each school (SD68) prior to students attending the new education show called My Symphony.
“My Symphony will be introducing the musical instruments of the orchestra in a fun way to the students,” says Patricial Plumley, VIS Grade 5 Choir Conductor. “It features some of Rick Scott’s favourite music. Rick has eight award-winning children’s albums and several nominations for Juno Awards. Composer-director Nico Rhodes is doing the arrangements, Pierre Simard will be conducting the orchestra, and the Vancouver Island Symphony Grade 5 Choir will be singing along with Rick.”
Heather complements her professional musical performances with teaching the Alexander Technique throughout central Vancouver Island. The Alexander Technique is a method for improved posture, efficient movement, and reduction of body tension & strain. Through private sessions or workshops, with a general or specific focus, you can learn to move with ease and freedom through learning the Alexander Technique
