We will discuss the lesson question when and why as well as developmental and educational issues regarding music and children. And we'll have a little fun with music ourselves! Please wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to take off your shoes and socks. Bring questions. RACHEL BUCHMAN is a native New Yorker. She earned her bachelor’s degree in drama, Phi Beta Kappa, Cum Laude, from Vassar College. She is presently completing her certification requirements in Dalcroze eurhythmics, from the Longy School of Music, studying with Anne Farber and Lisa Parker. She also studied with Dr. Hilda M. Schuster at the Dalcroze School of Music in New York, and at Carnegie Mellon. She has studied voice with Kathleen Kaun.  For 24 years Miss Buchman has taught music to young people, from toddlers to doctoral students, of every social and ethnic background, across the United States, and in Germany, England and Israel. She has presented teacher workshops nationwide for the National Association for the Education of Young Children, Houston Grand Opera, Project Grad, Young Audiences, the Children's Museum of Houston, the Bureau of Jewish Education, and many other organizations. Rachel Buchman is a lecturer in music at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, and Head of the Young Children's Division of the Michael P. Hammond Preparatory Program. She was invited by the former Dean Michael Hammond to design and establish the program in 2000. She trains Brown Fellow graduate students to develop the innate musicianship in young children, and teaches children’s classes herself. Through the JUMP in-reach concert program she teaches young classical musicians innovative approaches to performing art music for children and adults, and she coaches musicians in acting and speaking while playing an instrument, an art that is increasingly in demand in new music. |
