NIU Faculty Master Classes with @dgnbands Musicians

Faculty from the NIU School of Music presented master classes today to students in Wind Ensemble. In addition to coaching how to effectively prepare for an addition, the clinicians discussed artistry in performance and pertinent pedagogy related to wind and percussion techniques.

Special thanks to faculty members Greg Barrett (clarinet), Greg Beyer (percussion), Kelly Langenberg (horn), and Jeremy Moeller (trombone) for sharing their musicianship and teaching expertise with our students today!

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty is to offer students a well-rounded curricular experience that includes exposure to genres of music, theatre, and visual art in a wide variety of creative settings. Program goals that serve as tenets for the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty are: To provide a productive and cooperative learning environment in which students of various backgrounds and ability levels may learn to achieve outstanding artistic results; To intentionally study music, theatre and visual art from cultures and communities that have been historically under-represented; To engage students in a journey toward artistic and personal success at the highest level; To develop in young people the appreciation, discrimination, analysis, and participation skills necessary to become lifelong consumers of the arts.
