校长说 独特的表演艺术 Principal's Message Unique Performing Arts

通过诺德安达-茱莉亚表演艺术项目，我们的音乐课程在精心挑选的艺术作品和键盘技能的教学下得到了提高。这是诺德安达学校学习音乐理论的一个切入点，每个学生都可以沉浸其中，享受音乐，成为一个专注的听众，作曲者，演奏者和表演者。

本周，我想同大家聊聊我们的音乐项目，并与大家分享即将到访我校的茱莉亚艺术家的细节。

键盘技能

键盘是我们学习乐理知识的切入点，也是老师教授基本技能的工具。例如，孩子们的读谱技能，乐谱识别以及和声掌握等。对于学生来说，理解乐理最好的方法是通过触摸键盘，切身体验键盘。5岁开始，每个学生都会通过学习如何使用键盘来探索音乐和符号的基本原理。

茱莉亚学院专家，Aaron Wunsch说：“键盘为各个年龄段的学生提供了一种即时而又令人满意的方式，让他们对乐谱的各个方面拥有更深刻的理解，如：和声、旋律、复调和节奏。键盘技能为音乐的快速发展打开了大门。”

核心作品

诺德安达学校可以学习到茱莉亚音乐学院精选的一系列艺术作品。这些作品集中了12个类别，来自不同的流派、经历不同的文化和历史时期。每一个类别都有对应的标志性核心作品，如《十面埋伏》、《中国传统琵琶独奏》、《贝多芬第五交响曲》等。您的孩子将在他们的整个学习生涯中学习这些作品，利用每一部精彩纷呈的作品为他们准备学习场景，并且深入参与其中。

这些作品都是经过精心挑选的，基于其标志性的代表特征和授课方式，拓展您孩子的学习领域和知识广度。您的孩子将在他们的整个在校学习中学习到各式各样的作品，让他们对每一件作品都有深入的参与和鉴赏。

课程中贯穿的互动活动鼓励学生参与到作品中，理解作品的故事，发展作品与其他学科之间的联系。

我们很高兴地与大家分享，我们将于10月15日迎来茱莉亚学院的一位艺术家，“长笛手” Andrea Fisher。作为一名唱片艺术家、独唱家、制作人、教育家和企业家，Andrea一直保持着多元化的职业生涯。

Andrea以她独特的表演而闻名，包括技术、服装、戏剧和现场艺术。她的表演也由其独特地制作和策划完美呈现。她是第一位在日本东京演唱会中使用全息技术表演的古典音乐家，同时也在东京与一位3D灯光画家共同表演。

作为一位颇受欢迎的演讲者，Andrea曾在多个长笛节以及纽约大学、宾夕法尼亚州立大学、爱荷华大学做过有关企业家精神方面的演讲，并在茱莉亚学院举办了首届企业家精神实习。她是《长笛观点》杂志的联合创始人、作家和编辑。

她曾作为独奏参与录制约翰传奇的第二张专辑，包括嘻哈音乐的录音和制作，包括50 Cent，Puff Daddy 和 Rick Ross。她甚是有幸成为第一个在麦迪逊广场花园和斯台普斯中心为NBA演奏国歌的长笛手。

在Andrea的长笛世界中，她同时发展了与长笛有关的产业，比如，长笛包袋。Andrea希望她为大家展示一个更时尚的状态，于是与2011年创立了这样有趣的时尚品牌。目前，该品牌已扩展到其他木管乐以及与鲍威尔长笛的独家合作。

Andrea作为Jeanne Baxtresser和 Carol Wincenc的学生，获得了茱莉亚音乐学院的本科和研究生学位。

我们期待Andrea到访宁波市奉化区诺德安达学校！

Through the Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts Programme our music curriculum is enhanced with a music repertoire of great works of art hand-selected by Juilliard and through the teaching of keyboard skills, which acts as an entry point for music theory learning in our schools Every student can enjoy being an engaged listener, composer, interpreter and communicator. 

This week, I would like to talk about our music program and share with you exciting details about an upcoming visit from a Julliard artist.

Keyboard Skills

The keyboard acts as an entry point for music theory learning in our schools and is used as a tool to teach basic skills such as reading, music notation and understanding harmony. The best way for students to understand musical concepts is from first-hand experience with the keyboard and from the age of five, every student will use the keyboard to explore the fundamentals of music and notation by learning how to play this instrument.

"Keyboards provide an immediate and satisfying way for students of all ages to develop a deeper musical understanding of all aspects of a musical score - harmony, melody, counterpoint, and rhythm. Keyboard skills open the door to rapid musical progress." Aaron Wunsch, The Juilliard School.

The Core Works

Nord Anglia students are exposed to a music repertoire of great works of art hand selected by Juilliard, which centres on 12 categories from different genres, cultures and historical periods. Each category is exemplified by a corresponding and iconic core work such as Ambush from Ten Sides, a traditional Chinese pipa solo, or Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and extension works for further exploration. Your child will study these works throughout their school career, utilising each piece to set the scene for their learning and as a result engaging deeply with the music.

The works have been carefully chosen based on their iconic quality, teachable moments and to give breadth to your child's musical learning. Your child will study these works throughout their school career to give them a deep engagement and appreciation with each piece.

Interactive activities encourage students to engage with the works and key concepts while developing connections between the pieces, as well as other subjects.

Core works include:

§  The Instrument as Soloist: J.S.Bach: Cello Suite No.3 in C Major, BMV 1009

We are delighted to announce that we have a Julliard artist visitor on October 15, Andrea "Fluterscooter" Fisher. Andrea has maintained a multi-faceted career as a recording artist, soloist, producer, educator, and entrepreneur.

Andrea is known for her unique performances incorporating cutting edge technology, costuming, theater, and live art.  Her performances are also uniquely produced and curated by herself.  She was the first classical musician to perform with hologram technology in concert in Tokyo, Japan and also performed with a live 3D light painter in Tokyo.

A much sought after speaker, Andrea has lectured on Entrepreneurship at various flute festivals and at institutions such as New York University, Penn State University, University of Iowa, and held one of the first Entrepreneurship residencies at The Juilliard School.  She is on faculty of Flutes by the Sea Masterclasses, and is a co-founder, writer, and editor of The Flute View magazine.  

She has recorded and performed with John Legend as a soloist on his sophomore album, Once Again.  Other hiphop recording and production credits include 50 Cent, Puff Daddy, and Rick Ross. She has had the honor of being the first flutist to perform the National Anthem for the NBA at both Madison Square Garden and Staples Center.

Andrea is best known in the flute world for her popular flute bag business, Fluterscooter Bags.  Created in 2011 after realizing the need for a more stylish case cover, Andrea started the fun and fashionable line, which is worn by today's top flutists around the world.  The brand has now expanded to other woodwind instruments and exclusive collaborations with Powell Flutes.

Andrea received both undergraduate and graduate degrees from The Juilliard School as a student of Jeanne Baxtresser and Carol Wincenc.

We look forward to welcoming Andrea to NAS Ningbo!
