I had a fabulous time this past weekend meeting some of my online students and followers IN PERSON!! It was both emotional and heartfelt to meet everyone! I even got to HUG people like @kellahugs.art and @ruthhenrich! My @sktchy @museumbysktchy and @richmondartcenter lives collide! For me, it’s the connections I make through this beautiful and supportive artist community which inspire me to become a better practitioner, a better teacher, a better listener. Thank you, everyone for entrusting me to guide you through your art journey which is a long and winding road! 🥳😘🤩🤓 . . . . #artistsoninstagram #teachingartists #jenniferlindermanart #connections #artfriends #eastbayopenstudios2021 #followlove #oakland #oaklandartteacher #oaklandartist #femaleartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBW2OaP6yB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Funded in part by the Commission on the Arts and Humanities ‘Arts and Humanities Education Projects’ grant, the Fellowship Institute welcomes teaching artists of all levels - emerging and experienced - and selected fellows are committed to providing educational services to students in the District of Columbia. 

The fellows are divided in three cohorts led by three lead teaching artist mentors, Sylvia Zwi, Karen O. Brown, and Regie Cabico, who have been part of the fellowship planning and dedicated to developing mentorship workshops for the fellows. This year, the overarching theme of the Fellowship is increasing Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies and unpacking inherent biases present in SEL, as our recent data work found this to be the largest need for DCPS classroom teachers. 

On May 24th, the kick-off orientation took place where fellows were invited for greetings and introductions. Mary Lambert from DCPS Arts presented on the importance of Social and Emotional Learning in the classroom and provided DCPS resources on Equity Strategy and Programming.

During the first three workshops in June and July, fellows will be introduced to utilizing the Arts to advance SEL, learn techniques in SEL, and develop their own techniques and activities utilizing SEL competencies learned. The fourth workshop will take place in collaboration with DCPS teachers and educators who will provide their own experience and feedback to fellows in improving their teaching strategies and techniques for students in class. The Fellowship Institute will conclude with the award certificate ceremony and celebration on July 19th.

My #sketchnotes from the 2020 @artsedalliance Curriculum Slam, "Art as Creative Dialogue" in February. Next week I'll be part of the video release parties on Tuesday and Friday. These 9 #teachingartists gave 8 inspiring 7 minute presentations about their #ArtsEd practice. (at Intersection for the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJS4L6Btlq/?igshid=ju50pul5ezqe

500 students in 5 assemblies today experienced 21 songs and rhythms from 21 different countries. We learned about cultural awareness, world resources, environmental appreciation, math equations, science formulas, creative expression, improvisation, and positive communication skills. We’ve been exploring student-inspired cultural knowledge all week (and some of last week too) through our SmartArts unit with @katherinekuhfus__15. What an amazing learning adventure for us all! #smartarts #drum4work #teachingartists #makelearningfun #school #positive #teachersofinstagram #wow (at Armstrong Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ajOGYDqL5/?igshid=1916vzlq7poa8

Final Friday!

This always happens, but we honestly can’t believe that it’s our last day in Blue Hill. We made sure to make stops at Bucklyn Coffee, the Blue Hill Wine Shop, the Blue Hill Coop, Bay View Bakery, the Fish Net, and all of our favorite places in town throughout the day.  In the morning we returned to GSA for another visit to Jam Bake. Clara and Hannah performed a movement of the Ravel duo and Sam and Tom challenged the students to try to take inspiration from Ravel and look for ways to create interesting ways of making the music flow and transition in their own arrangements.  Tom and Sam re-ordered the solos in Jam Bake’s version of “Rondo à la Turk” so that the feel could be more spontaneous, but also issued a challenge for each soloist to think about a bigger structure.

We really got into some serious music making with Jam Bake, as we considered questions of the same ilk as those posed by traditional chamber music, such as:

- What are the ways we can take this music off the page and really make it alive?How can the energy from one solo be passed to another to make a larger shape throughout the solo section?

- How can soloists choose the more unexpected notes of a scale more often, to prolong suspense and play with the audience’s expectations?

- What are the ways we can take this music off the page and really make it alive?

- How can the students who are backing up the solo (in this case drums, keys, and bass) influence or respond more quickly, and more specifically, to what the soloist is doing by changing up the rhythmic feel of the accompaniment?

The Jam Bake players were game for anything and had a lot of fun trying out new solos, transitions, and on-the-spot challenges. Thanks Mr. O for your tireless work as an educator, and for being a great host to KHBH once again!

Today we finally had a spot of time to hike up Blue Hill and have a picnic lunch at the summit, and we were thankful for the excellent weather.  We attempted to take some album cover/band photos with limited success and enjoyed reflecting on the week’s experiences as we walked.

The day concluded with our annual Spring Concert at Kneisel Hall.  It was extraordinarily meaningful to play Ravel, and Tom and Sam’s arrangements of Couperin, Takemitsu, Scriabin, Liszt, and others for a large audience of people from all over the community, from longtime friends of Kneisel Hall, to folks we met during the week at Jam Bake and the “History of Music in Blue Hill” event. Hannah and Clara were reflecting that-with a few years off here and there-one or both of them has performed every year in Blue Hill for the last fourteen years. It’s become our home audience away from home, and we are ever so grateful to be a part of such a unique and vital community. We love challenging ourselves to bring fresh, dynamic programs each time we play here, and hope to continue doing so far into the future. Thanks for coming out for us, Blue Hill! Till September!
