It\u27s Not the World We Grew Up In: A Conversations About Skills for Learning and Thriving
No full textOver the past 20 years, the science of what helps students and adults learn and thrive has become increasingly clear and irrefutable, revealing that strong executive function (EF) skills of the brain are predictive of achievement, health, well-being, and quality of life—often even more so than IQ or socioeconomic status. These are the skills we all need to foster positive mental health, achieve academic and career success, and contribute to a thriving workforce. In this session, we will discuss these skills and how you can apply them to your own teaching and learning.https://remix.berklee.edu/pac/1019/thumbnail.jp
Don V Moses: In Memoriam
Get PDFThe Haydn and music communities are saddened by the passing of Don V Moses on March 12 at age 88. Dr. Moses was a tireless conductor, scholar, and ambassador of Haydn music performance, and encouraged the forming of the Haydn Society of California and its expansion into the Haydn Society of North America. His legacy continues with the Eisenstadt Classical Music Festival which he founded in 1975 and which will celebrate its 50th anniversary this coming August
Reimagining Iconic Works by Bach and Beethoven
No full textThis Culminating Experience (CE) project is an original EP of four tracks that reimagine and reinterpret works by J.S. Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven through the lens of contemporary genres including jazz, rock, house, samba, Afro-Cuban, and romantic solo piano. Rooted in my classical training, this project reflects a deeply personal and artistic journey toward bridging my classical foundations with a broader musical identity. Each piece explores iconic classical repertoire—Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and Bach’s Preludes in C major, C minor, and Bb minor from The Well-Tempered Clavier Book I—through processes of analysis, composition, arrangement, and collaboration. My primary objective was twofold: to diversify my artistic voice by composing and performing across multiple genres, and to increase the accessibility and relevance of classical music for contemporary audiences. Methodologies include case study, autoethnography, action research, and practice-based research. I studied existing reinterpretations by artists such as Adam Birnbaum, Hiromi, Muse, and the Klazz Brothers, to guide my own compositional approach. This project also served as a personal exploration of grief and healing, particularly in the track “Hold Me Up,” which was inspired by the loss of my stepfather. Each composition not only represents a musical reinterpretation, but also a stage of growth in my development as a composer, arranger, and performer. The final work stands as both a professional portfolio and a statement of artistic identity, positioning me for future endeavors in mainstream and cross-genre music creation, performance, and recording. It is a testament to the value of classical music as a living art form—one that can evolve, resonate widely, and still honor its roots.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-contemporary-performance/1335/thumbnail.jp
