ACADEMY Note From the Director, Yvonne Scudiery

Self Discipline Or Passion…Equally Important

As you read the course descriptions in this brochure you will inevitably come upon one of my pet phrases, “teaches with passion…” you might also find the following statement: “this class will help to build self-discipline”.

As a teaching artist, performer and now an Arts administrator, I understand the importance of both attributes and would like to consider myself blessed with both. While I would love to think that passion is the prime mover, the ultimate antidote, the quality that I long to see in my students and faculty alike, my life experience tells me that the real “winner’ here is a very strong dose of self-discipline. I see it in the young actors, dancers and musicians with whom I am fortunate to work. These youngsters not only excel in their respective areas of performing arts but in the academic world as well.

The process of building a strong sense of self-discipline is not simple nor is it quick. Small challenges that take the individual to the next level, stubborn obstacles overcome, simple tasks completed…step by step, note by note, page by page the discipline and growth of the individual become more and more evident. One of the best aspects of developing a strong sense of self-discipline at any early age is that it’s yours forever.

One could say that passion is indeed the fuel, the motivator, the icing on the cake: but the real foundation for success in any endeavor and in any career option is the ability to stay focused and committed.

This summer we offer our students the opportunity to have fun, as they become more knowledgeable actors, dancers, singers and musicians hopefully with a newfound respect and understanding of the importance of self-discipline.

“Thanks again for putting the Rock the Basie program together. It was all that I hoped for and then some. I had a great time and I learned quite a bit about constructing a song, mic dynamics, group dynamics, and performing live. All around, a wonderful experience!”

This 10-week rock boot camp is run by veteran pro musicians and includes special guest visits that will have your Facebook friends green with envy.

Rock the Basie veteran Paul “Blues Riffs” Bartoli, had this to say about his experience, “There’s nothing like the first time you climb onto the Basie stage: to be on the same stage as famous acts (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Greg Allman) is a real blast!

All instruments and all levels of musicianship are welcome. The material covers classic rock, blues, country and jazz. An audition process will place you in a band with your peers, and your role in the band will be arranged not only to enhance your current skill level, but also to take you to the next.
