WEF Grant Funds Musical Program for Woodville Students
Students at the Woodville School were treated to a delightful presentation by Caryn Lin in her Bach2Rock program. The program presented the simplicity of the solo acoustic violin and its origins demonstrated by performing a simple Bach minuet. Whisked into present day, Caryn used the five string electric violin and sound effects to transcend that "solo" sound by doing what is called "looping" creating sound loops live that she added to and embellished, playing in essence, live duos and trios with herself. This 3 dimensional sound magic was performed right before our students' eyes!!
The goals of the program are:
• To provide a basic history of Johann Sebastian Bach, the acoustic violin, and electric violin.
• Cover new developments in music using electronics and modern technology.
• To inspire children to always search for new and better ways to satisfy their own creative needs and to realize their own dreams without rejecting the wisdom of history.
Principal Brian Middleton-Cox wishes to thank the Wakefield Educational Foundation for their generous support of this cultural arts program for the Woodville student body.
