The peformance-lecture was attended by students of primary, high school and university levels, as well as faculty and staff of the music school.
Vocal demonstrations were infused with piano stylizations.
Students of all ages attended the performance-lecture as well as music faculty and staff.
In addition to singing and playing piano, Stan Breckenridge speaks to the audience about his program Education Through Music Performance.
The audience is encouraged to join in counting the number of bars/measures in the 12-bar progression – – a characteristic of blues music.
The director and Breckenridge are enjoying a spirited conversation about the high level of participation among the delightful audience.
Seeing others enjoy themselves while learning something about music is always welcoming.
A return to Państwowa Szkoła Muzyczna im. Karola Szymanowskiego is scheduled for next year.
