In the course of 2019-20 school year Orange Music Studio will become a part of Gifted Youth Foundation, an organization that provides young musicians with unique performing opportunities, as well as a means of expanding their music education horizons.
We will provide а professional, but also the most nurturing environment for your kids to learn music from all possible angles, not to just be able to play an instrument, but to love music, listen to music, talk about music, make music with friends, compose and arrange it, be tested and rewarded on it. The gift of music that you’re giving your children should last a lifetime, and we want to make sure it does.
Few points to what Gifted Youth Foundation stands for and what new programs we will be offering starting Fall semester.
What we will strive to offer:
Excellent music education, professional teachers with the high art degrees. Preparations for tests, auditions, competitions, pre-college interviews.
Supplementing music disciplines, such as theory, music history, chamber ensembles, solfege, choir, composition, music analysis. Learning all musical aspects for profound and well-rounded knowledge.
Performing opportunities: recitals, concerts, festivals, workshops, guest appearances with other groups.
A Young Artist Solo Competition with a cash prize and a chance to solo with an orchestra.
Yearly Diplomas upon completion another year with GYF and college recommendation letters.
Social skills. Leadership and teamwork. Big buddy/little buddy format. Opportunities for the children to receive positions of counselors, tutors, etc. but also designers, librarians, artists, marketing directors, photographers, whatever their talents are - for community hours or pay.
Learning through playing. Various stimulating fun contests and victorines during the year, some open to public vote. Members will have free access to Movie Nights and other recreational activities, but also will be given a chance to earn Studio Cash, that could pay for their tickets for concerts and masterclasses.
The first program that we introduce is Music All Around - a course that includes three music disciplines for each member: Individual lesson + chamber ensemble + theory class.
