Are any of you planning to attend the PaTRAM Institute's Church Musician Masters Class workshop this year?
http://patraminstitute.org/2015-sum...-bells-st-tikhons-monastery-patram-institute/
For anyone who doesn't know what the PaTRAM Institute (Patriarch Tikhon's Russian American Music) master class covers, here is the description:
Training in this program will focus on techniques and materials specifically applicable to small choirs (e.g. from 2 to 8 singers) singing repertoire in English. This includes small ensemble vocal, conducting, and rehearsal techniques. These kinds of ensembles are certainly the norm in most parish situations, and leading and singing in them requires specific skills. Each participant will have the opportunity to be coached personally. Singers will be placed in one of several small ensembles, in which they will receive personal voice coaching in confident, yet sensitive ensemble singing. Conducting applicants, chosen by audition, will have private conducting coaching and will lead the small ensembles in the services that end the program.
They also have a Slavic liturgical bell ringing (with Blagovest Bell) masters class:
Blagovest Bell’s participation in this year’s program will provide the unprecedented opportunity for intensive, one-on-one training in traditional slavic liturgical bell ringing. Traditional bell ringing is often considered a luxury. However, when St. Innocent Veniaminov— America’s first Orthodox bishop (1840-1868)— traveled Alaska, he had with him a priest, a deacon, a subdeacon, a reader— and a bell ringer. Using the beautiful bells of St. Tikhon’s Monastery, and a mobile carillon, the guest experts from Blagovest will train participants in carillon set-up, techniques, and peals. Bell ringing participants will also ring the peals in the services that end the program.
