CineMusic

Students: 3rd – 8th Grades

CineMusic is a mastery-based instrumental and vocal music program that engages students in the study and performance of film scores, cinematic composition and instrumentation, and digital sound production. Students are introduced to general music concepts and principles, key roles and artists involved in film music-making, and the skills and processes used in creating music for cinematic works, animated movies, and video games. Students are also introduced to a variety of instruments, immersed in the musical compositions of some of history’s most memorable film scores, and collaborate with classmates and teachers to compose, perform, and record original score elements of their own!

CineMusic is designed for students with an interest in learning and creating music, working together with a team, and engaging their musical and visual imagination! Prior musical training (i.e. playing an instrument, singing, etc.) is a plus, but is not required.

SCREENS Film Acting & Production

Students: 3rd – 8th Grades

SCREENS is an innovative film acting and production art program, designed to inspire, cultivate, and catapult young performing artists into creative leadership of 21st century culture and beyond!

This immersive learning experience is wide-ranging, educational, relevant and fun, focusing on the skillful mastery of the modern artistic canvas: the screen. And, in addition to honing artistic skills, students also develop confidence, cultural consciousness, positive self-image, and a sense of their social responsibility as creative artists and influencers!
