Through a range of informative and interactive sessions\, participants will discuss the present and future applications and implications of performance work with\, by\, for\, and about children and youth. There will be a range of in-person events\, panels\, performances\, and workshops spread out during the conference days. All presentations and workshop sessions take place on June 17th and 18th. This year’s conference is entirely in-person. Registrants will receive a full schedule of events closer to the conference dates. My presentation will take place on June 17th at 2:30 pm. \n——— \nAdaptive instruments are generally used to teach music to children with disabilities. This project has for objective to demonstrate that children with all abilities are receptive to alternative ways of learning. I believe that the discovery of adaptive instruments can open the mind of a student\, whether it is a young child\, a teenager\, or a young adult. It can also propose other teaching methods to instructors. \nThe project consists of a series of workshops held between February and June 2023\, allowing groups of music students of various ages to discover instruments and musical material made for musicians and singers with disabilities. The workshops are held in classrooms of the Community Music Schools of Toronto at Jane and Finch. Each participant takes part in one of the workshops. Participants of the choir workshop sing with adaptive content such as brail scores and learn lyrics in American Sign Language (ASL). Participants of the jam session workshop imagine instruments that can be played with a missing part of the body or use conventional instruments in a non-conventional way. Participants of the new technology workshop use devices such as an iPad with digital instruments or digital gloves connected to a computer system. During each workshop\, students work together on a piece that will be performed in a recital at the Jane and Finch music school in June 2023\, to show what they have learned during the workshops to an audience. \nThis research has received the support of York University’s Helen Carswell Chair in Community Engaged Research in the Arts\, in partnership with Community Music Schools of Toronto at Jane and Finch. \nMore details and tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/children-youth-and-performance-conference-2023-tickets-546265634217 URL:https://www.dianekolin.com/event/children-youth-and-performance-conference-2023-disability-and-music-music-education-with-adaptive-instruments/ LOCATION:Young People’s Theatre\, 165 Front St East\, Toronto\, ON\, M5A 3Z4\, Canada CATEGORIES:Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.dianekolin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/CYP2023.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230616T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230616T190000 DTSTAMP:20260525T065934 CREATED:20230512T181745Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230606T173001Z UID:2956-1686938400-1686942000@www.dianekolin.com SUMMARY:Adaptive Voice and Instruments workshops at CMST: final performance 2023 DESCRIPTION:The CMST end of the year recital will feature a presentation of the adaptive voice and instruments workshops. \nThe song “The Greatest” by Sia will be performed in American Sign Language by voice students\, and another group of students will present their work on one of the adaptive instruments they discovered. \nOne of my voice students will also sing “Sweet Dream” by Alessia Cara. \nThe recital will be hosted by York University\, Accolade East Building\, Room 235.

Disruption functions as a way to become conscious of ableism within structures and practices in music education (Rathgeber & bell\, forthcoming). As Neil Marcus reminds us\, disability both necessitates creativity\, and is itself a site of creativity (Marcus\, 1993; Keifer-Boyd\, 2017). Disruption\, then\, can be an invitation to reconsider\, dream\, and transform practices\, environments\, and relationships through disability-centered frameworks (Piepzna-Samarasinha\, 2018; Sandahl\, 2018). \nI will present the adaptive instruments workshops on Friday\, April 28\, 2023\, from 7 to 7:30 PM EST. Note that my presentation will be followed by a performance by composer Molly Joyce from 7:30 to 8 PM EST. \nMore info and location to come.

Handel’s "Brockes Passion" DESCRIPTION:Available online on-demand until June 7\, 2023. Including a pre-concert talk with Jonathan Oldengarm\, and organ prelude (Bach’s Sei gegrüßet\, BWV 768). \nThe Metropolitan Festival Choir and Baroque Orchestra (Jonathan Oldengarm\, direction and continuo) present Handel’s rarely-heard Brockes Passion on Good Friday\, April 7\, 2023. Soloists include Michael Colvin\, Evangelist; Geoffrey Sirett\, Jesus; Jacqueline Woodley\, Tochter Zion; Robert Kinar\, Petrus; and soliloquents Jane Fingler\, Gisele Kulak\, Veronika Anissimova\, Michelle Simmons (Judas)\, Charles Davidson\, Nicholas Higgs\, and John Pepper. The Met Festival Choir will be joined this year by a period instrument ensemble (Cristina Zacharias\, Concertmaster\, and members of Tafelmusik). In good historical-performance style\, Wayne C. Vance Organ Scholar Joshua Duncan Lee will play continuo on the church organ; Jonathan Oldengarm conducts and plays recit and aria continuo. \nComposed sometime between 1715 and 1719 while Handel was living in London\, this work is a setting of vivid Passion libretto penned by Handel’s law school classmate Barthold Heinrich Brockes. It is distinct from e.g. the Bach Passions in that it is a purely poetic telling of the story\, rather than a faithful recitation of the scriptural text. As such\, it was banned from liturgical use at the time\, and could only be presented in concert. Georg Philipp Telemann (who\, along with Reinhold Keiser and Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel\, also set the text)\, performed all four settings in four-night marathons for several years\, beginning in 1719 in Hamburg. \nA vivid\, passionate account of the most dramatic week in the Christian liturgical year that is often cited\, yet rarely sung. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience another Handel masterwork\, written in a style that forms a marked contrast with Messiah. \nWebsite \n  \nA few pictures: URL:https://www.dianekolin.com/event/good-friday-2023-festival-choir-invitation-g-f-handels-brockes-passion/ LOCATION:Metropolitan United Church\, 56 Queen Street East\, Toronto\, ON\, Canada CATEGORIES:Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.dianekolin.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Handel-METUnitedChurch.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
