Music Arts Hosts Open House

♫ Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Your music school recently held an Open House at Roane State Community College to celebrate the award of grants from the Tennessee Arts Commission, through the Knoxville Arts and Culture Alliance and the Tennessee Arts Commission, with the other half through the generosity of our local WalMart.

The first part of the program featured a performance by instructors David King (clarinet, sax and flute) and Preston Davis (upright bass and bass guitar) built around their presentation for the upcoming school visits.

Instructors Harold Nagge and Robert Alfonso, with their acoustic guitars, along with Rudolph Nemeth (piano) providing a background rhythm section, joined in a jam session to end all jam sessions. Fantastic.

The kids also learned a lot about how instruments worked, their ranges, what they’re made of, and how to choose an instrument that’s right for them.

Many more photos from the school visits can be seen by reviewing the Summer ‘08 Newsletter.
