School Visits

Music Arts is pleased to have the support, over the past several years, of the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Arts and Culture Alliance of Knoxville in helping to fund our instrument demonstrations, to Oak Ridge City Schools as well as elementary schools in Anderson, Roane and Morgan Counties, including Claxton, Petros-Joyner, Oliver Springs Elementary, Norwood, Fairview, Grand Oaks and Wartburg.

Recitals are frequent, fun, and give everyone the opportunity to showcase their musical progress.

Recitalists at a lively "Intermission Quiz" try to match composers with their countries.

Music Arts holds several contests during the year, geared towards theory, performance, and composition-writing.

The Annual Performance Competition is held during the Spring Quarter and features well-known musicians as judges. Eligibility to participate is through nomination of the instructor.

The Annual Composition Contest is offered during the Winter Quarter and offers students the opportunity to compose original works.

The Music Theory Olympics is a great treat for all students. Find out how you can participate.

Summer Programs

"Street Musicians" pass the time at a Music Arts exhibit at the annual MayFest, sponsored by the City of Oak Ridge (TN).

Summer Quarter at Music Arts is always exciting! A variety of courses are typically offered in such areas as ensembles (including French Horn, Flute and Cello) and group activities including such popular courses as "You're The Boss," a conducting class, and a vocal class which encourages talented young students.

Music Arts also offers a unique Student Intern Program. Student Interns offer private lessons, at essentially half-price, to beginners who are interested in seeing what music lessons are like, and sampling an instrument to see if that's for them.

Check out what happened over Summer Quarter 2000. Also check out Summer Programs from 1998 and 1999.
