The Mission of the Community Music Program (CMP)<br />
Through its affiliation with <strong>Nazareth</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s distinguished collegiate music<br />
department, the Community Music Program adheres to the highest standards of<br />
excellence in musical instruction. We believe deeply in the fundamental value of an<br />
arts education. We recognize that the development and active encouragement of<br />
one’s musical abilities exert a positive influence upon academic performance, selfconfidence,<br />
a sense of individuality, creativity and discipline. The Program focuses<br />
upon the needs of the individual student while at the same time appealing to a wide<br />
range of ages and abilities. Members of the CMP faculty serve as artistic role models<br />
whose guidance strives to be nurturing and supportive. Our aim is to open doors to a<br />
lifetime of appreciation, participation and real joy in the experience of music.<br />
————— � —————<br />
Students may begin study in all areas without any previous training. While a minimum<br />
age of 13 is required for private voice lessons, there is none for other instruments,<br />
pending evaluation by the teacher.<br />
For new students: Upon receipt of a completed registration form and the registration<br />
fee, the Program Coordinator will consult with the prospective student/parent in order<br />
to arrange for an appropriate choice of teacher. The instructor, once notified, will then<br />
contact the new student to confirm the lesson schedule.<br />
Private lessons are the heart of the<br />
Community Music Program’s mission.<br />
Developing the skills necessary to master<br />
an instrument or the voice successfully,<br />
in a manner focused upon fostering<br />
meaningful growth and satisfaction, is<br />
best accomplished in this one-on-one<br />
weekly meeting of the student and the<br />
teacher. All of the teachers in the CMP<br />
are highly trained and accomplished<br />
professionals who remain active in their<br />
respective fields as performers, scholars,<br />
clinicians, adjudicators and pedagogues.<br />
Our years of practice enable us to<br />
offer superior musical expertise to<br />
the Rochester–area community. It is<br />
based upon the recognition of – and an<br />
empathy for – the needs of students of all<br />
ages: musical, technical and emotional.<br />
While not necessarily required of the<br />
student, performance is encouraged<br />
as a goal. Recital participation is an<br />
opportunity to take one’s study to a level<br />
of achievement far beyond that of weekly<br />
lesson preparation.<br />
The Suzuki method of instrumental<br />
education, available in violin, cello and<br />
piano, duplicates the ease with which<br />
very young children learn to speak<br />
their own mother tongue by listening<br />
and imitating. The steps in the learning<br />
process are scaled down appropriately,<br />
as is the size of the instrument itself<br />
(strings), thus lowering the age at which<br />
a young student is developmentally<br />
ready to begin to study an instrument.<br />
Suzuki instruction fosters a positive<br />
learning environment. Weekly lessons<br />
are carefully structured, creative and<br />

stimulating, reinforced at home with<br />
the participation of the Suzuki parent. A<br />
sequence of repertoire develops motor<br />
and aural skills, and an awareness of<br />
musical style grows in a natural manner.<br />
Note reading is introduced gradually.<br />
Its importance is regularly reinforced<br />
throughout the sequence of study.<br />
Weekly lessons are supplemented by a<br />
monthly performance class, where the<br />
student gains poise and confidence in a<br />
supportive atmosphere. Suzuki teacher<br />
training in piano is available through the<br />

According to its mission statement,<br />
“The Bach Children’s Chorus provides<br />
distinctive choral training with emphasis<br />
on foreign language and opportunities<br />
for the performance of classical and<br />
multicultural music.” Founded by Karla<br />
Krogstad in 1989, the Bach Children’s<br />
Chorus has been acclaimed for its<br />
outstanding performances, clear diction<br />
and pure tone. It appears regularly with<br />
the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra,<br />
the Rochester Chamber Orchestra, and<br />
other area ensembles. The program<br />
specializes in significant repertoire<br />
of the 18th through 21st centuries,<br />
sung in a variety of languages. Chorus<br />
members rehearse weekly; small group<br />
rehearsals, in conjunction with a theory<br />
class, alternate with rehearsals of the<br />
entire ensemble.<br />
The upcoming season will include<br />
performances with the Rochester<br />
Philharmonic Orchestra in their annual<br />
production with the Rochester City<br />
Ballet of The Nutcracker Ballet, the<br />
Rochester Chamber Orchestra’s annual<br />
performance of Handel’s Messiah and its<br />
Lilac Festival concert, along with other<br />
performance venues in Rochester.<br />
In addition, the Chorus traditionally<br />
makes a three–day tour during school<br />
break in the Greater Northeast United<br />
States. The children have performed<br />
in Bruton Parish Church in Colonial<br />
Williamsburg, St. Patrick’s Cathedral in<br />
New York City, the National Cathedral in<br />
Washington, D. C., Old North Church in<br />
Boston, Cleveland and Toronto.<br />

Registration for a number of lessons less<br />
than the full term of 17 weeks (or the<br />

the explicit agreement of the instructor.<br />
Students must pay for all registered<br />
lessons, whether taken or missed.<br />
Lessons missed by a faculty member<br />
will be made up. While the instructor<br />
may attempt to reschedule for student<br />
absences, no teacher is required to do so.<br />
Please note: deducting missed lessons<br />
from first term on the second semester<br />
registration is not allowed without the<br />
explicit agreement of the teacher. It is<br />
strongly recommended that all students<br />
and parents clarify re-scheduling/makeup<br />
policies directly with their instructor at<br />
the beginning of the school year.<br />
The Community Music Program reserves<br />
the right to discontinue lessons of any<br />
student who has excessive absences,<br />
whose progress or interest lags in the<br />
judgment of the teacher or who fails to<br />
meet the financial responsibility of tuition.<br />
