Alpin Hong Educational / TITLE: This title is always agreed upon by Alpin and the School particpants DESCRIPTION: An extended residency of two days or more is intended to allow students to interact further with a performing artist, and work on a specific project together over the course of the allotted timeframe. The format can vary widely and be individually tailored to the students’ and teachers’ needs. A residency would bring exposure for students or ensembles in the community outside of the school. For a large ensemble such as an orchestra, band, or choir, it could involve rehearsals and a concert presentation with the artist, such as a piano concerto or other musical work. Larger ensembles respond and benefit greatly from interaction and instruction from another artist other than their accustomed teacher. Smaller ensembles such as a string quartet would receive private instruction and collaboration in a variety of performance settings. Musical theatre students and instrumentalists could also benefit from private coaching as part of their preparation for performance. Specifically, piano students could take advantage of a master class, private instruction, and a collaborative performance at the end of the residency. AGE GROUP: An extended residency would most benefit students from junior high school to college ages. Collaboration with the artist is a main focus of the residency experience and would require at least an intermediate level of musical exposure and performance ability. CAPACITY: There are no restrictions on how many students could be involved in an extended residency. Smaller ensembles such as chamber musicians would receive more focused individual attention. DURATION: An extended residency would require at least 3 days, with an appropriate amount of time set aside for rehearsal, performance, or other interactive programming. There is no maximum limit for duration outside of artist availability. BACKGROUND: Students participating should be extensively prepared prior to the residency, unless the residency is intended specifically to promote musical appreciation in the community. Ensembles should have musical works prepared and discussed with the artist to maximize the benefit of a residency. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The main goal of an extended residency is to allow collaboration with an artist in order to benefit the students’ own artistic goals, in preparation for a specific performance or a course of study. It is intended to allow a level of interaction beyond what is possible in a one-time workshop or convocation. The outcome of a residency is determined by the students and their teachers rather than the artist. |
