The following announcement comes from our friends at the FMDG Music School
in New York. Please address any questions you may have to the people listed
at the end of this message.
The Fil has been integrating Dancing Dots' accessible, interactive music
software into their educational programs for over 20 years now.
.
The Filomen M. D'Agostino Greenberg Music School ('The Fil') in New York
City ( <https://fmdgmusicschool.org/classes/>
https://fmdgmusicschool.org/classes/) is pleased to inform you that we are
opening our remote classes to a broad, nationwide audience for special
offerings in the month of July.
The Fil is a community music school that is committed to helping people
pursue their study of music while addressing the challenges posed by vision
loss. For over 100 years we have served people directly in the New York
metropolitan region and occasionally, much beyond. For many years we have
received messages from many around the country bemoaning the fact that they
live too far away to benefit from our services and assistance.
Since March 2020 all of our lessons and classes have transitioned to online.
Our students and teachers have met this challenge with enthusiasm,
excitement, agility, and flexibility. Since our instruction is virtual, we
decided that now would be the time to offer our lessons and classes to a
greater audience -
. anyone who is visually impaired/blind and needs assistance In accessing
music
. anyone who is visually impaired/blind and would like to take a class
where the materials are already in whatever format you need
. anyone who is visually impaired/blind who would like to take a class and
know that their needs will be met
Our faculty has developed a roster of classes that will encourage curiosity
and entice interest. We also have a number of invited guests who will
participate in sessions and panel discussions. Here's just a few teasers:
. Celebrate Beethoven at 250!
. Explore the art collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art through
music
. Discover the World of Opera through the lens of Metropolitan Opera stage
director, costume mistress, and active NYC opera singers
. Learn musical skills for songwriting, ear training, Braille music and
much more
And a special workshop--"Career Building for Youth in the Arts"--to prepare
for majoring in music, audition protocol, arts resumes and special panel
discussions!
