5:00 pm - 7:30 pm - Check-in and Orientation
There is no charge for this afternoon. Students will have
an opportunity to meet each other, meet the instructors, get
familiar with the Music Academy location and rehearsal halls,
borrow instruments (if necessary), make final decisions on
classes they will attend, and attempt to resolve logistical
problems.
Tuesday, August 9 through Saturday,
August 13
Daily Schedule
Instrument Classes:
There will be a division in the Instrument classes between
experienced and beginner students. Each of these morning group
classes is 1½ hours long. Beginners classes will begin
at 9:00 am and experienced classes will begin at 10:30 am.
For example, a student may choose to take the beginner Tambura
class followed by the experienced Gudulka class. In the afternoon
there will be individual and/or small group instrument classes
lasting 30 minutes each. We suggest that you bring your favorite
instrument to class, but, if you do not have one, or it is
too difficult transport, the Academy will make arrangements
for loaner instruments.
Singing Classes:
There will be two group singing classes in the morning, each
1½ long, and each class will focus on a different regional
style. As with the Instrumental classes, afternoon singing
classes, which will last for 30 minutes each, will be for
either individuals or small groups.
Dance Classes:
There will be two group dance classes each morning, each 1½
hours long (9:00 am -10:30 am & 10:45 am - 12:15pm), and
two group dance classes each afternoon also 1½ hours
long (3:15 pm -4:45 pm & 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm). Material
from two folklore regions will be presented each weekday except
for Saturday which will be entirely dedicated to Pirin (Macedonia).
At this point we are not planning to make distinctions between
beginner and experienced dance classes. A typical weekday
might have Thracian dance in the first morning session, followed
by a Shope dance session in the second morning session and
in the afternoon there would be Thracian dance in the first
afternoon session and Shope dance in the second afternoon
session. Currently plans are to present dance from Shopluk,
Thrace, Pirin (Macedonia), North Bulgaria, and Dobrudzha.
Language Classes:
A one hour conversational Bulgarian language class will be
conducted immediately after the lunch break (12-2).
