Do you like playing music for fun?
Learning to play a new instrument or a new piece of music?
Not afraid to PRACTICE music in an outdoor public space?
Then PUBLIC PRACTICE is for you!
Registration is closed for this event.
HOW DOES IT WORK? A unique and INFORMAL music-making opportunity...
- Selected volunteer non-professional instrumentalists practice music outdoors
- Choose to participate as a solo musician or as part of a duo (with another musician you already know)
- Practice either a new piece of music or a new instrument - warm-ups, scales, starts/stops and repeated phrases, mistakes and improvisation
- In designated "off-the-beaten path" locations on the Music Center campus
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
- Open to non-professional instrumentalists and music hobbyists of all skill levels and cultural musical traditions.
- Must be at least 18 years old.
- Must be available for two 30-minute practice sessions at the Music Center during daytime hours on a Wednesday or Friday (9:00am-11:45am or 1:30pm-5:00pm) during October 2009.
- Must provide your own acoustic instrument*, sheet music and music stand (if needed).
- Must be willing to spend time practicing in an outdoor public space.
*Note: Instruments that require electricity to amplify sound, such as keyboards, are not considered acoustic.
There is no audition (this is not a "gig"). Instrumentalists only. Musicians will be selected based on stated interest, understanding of Public Practice goals, and commitment to recreational music-making.
All applicants will receive final notification by September 30.
