Jessica Dart, Anna Lag, & Kevin Crooks
In Theatre Arts, students learn a variety of basic acting concepts to help create and develop characters, interact with other actors in a scene, and ultimately to prepare for a stage performance in front of a live audience. In addition, students apply these concepts through a series of workshops that include audition preparation, musical theatre, improvisation, scene construction, and play production. Furthermore, the skills students learn in the Theatre Arts class are also applied to their participation in PHAME’s annual musical theatre production. |

CREATIVE WRITING
Tuesday — 3:30 pm—5:30 pm
Tuition: $30
Cheryl Adelman
Creative Writing is the place where students can learn to discover and tell their own stories. The class will consist of no more than four students each term, selected by the instructor. While this could mean that a student would only be able to take this class one term each year, each person will be able to count on approximately 30 minutes of one-on-one instruction each and every week. It is suggested Creative Writing Students also take the Art Class, being offered at the same time.
Because reading is important for writers, students who would like to may choose to work on reading skills as part of their writing time. |
MUSIC THEORY
Thursday— 2:00 pm—3:00 pm
Tuition: $25
Ben Landsverk
The Music Theory class is designed to teach students the fundamentals of reading and writing music as well as sight-singing. Students will become familiar with reading rhythms, drawing notes appropriately on the staff, hear- ing and singing different intervals, and recognizing the difference between a scale, an arpeggio, and major and minor keys. Emphasis will be placed on treble clef, common time, and the C Major scale. For their final pro- ject, students will write their own short melody using concepts they have learned and sing their melodies at the Spring Recital. |
