Music  Program  –  2015-­‐16    

For  the  second  year  in  a  row,  the  school  will  collaborate  with  the  La  Jolla  Center  for  World  Music  to  bring  on  campus  professional  musicians  who  will  expose  our  students  to  world  music.  During  one  term,  students  will  discover  and  practice  an  instrument,  sing  songs  and  sometimes  dance.  At  the  end  of  the  trimester,  a  show  will  be  presented  to  parents  and  other  students,  when  possible.      Term  one:  September  –  December    

Brazilian  Music  and  Dance  with  Ilana  Quieroz    

   

Monday  afternoon,  in  2nd  grade    

Ilana  Queiroz  is  a  teaching  artist  from  Salvador,  Bahia,  Brazil.  She  teaches  Capoeira  and  music,  two  constant  elements  in  her  life  for  the  last  25  years.  She  has  been  teaching  Capoeira  and  music  since  2000,  working  in  more  than  a  dozen  schools  in  the  San  Diego  area.       In  Ilana’s  Capoeira  music  classes,  she  teaches  rhythms  and  different  instruments  through  Capoeira  songs.  Children  learn  how  to  play  the  agogô,  pandeiro,  atabaque  (drum),  reco-­‐reco,  caxixi  and  sometimes  the  berimbau.  The  students  learn  to  work  in  harmony  with  other  players,  because  in  Capoeira  

we  play  and  respond  to  the  chorus.  The  lyrics  are  in  Portuguese,  so  the  children  have  the  chance  to  get  in  touch  with  a  new  language,  bringing  a  new  experience  to  her  students.    “Capoeira  is  a  complete  art.  It  teaches  timing,  spatial  perception,  eye  contact,  respect,  community,  and  partnership.  It  teaches  children  to  be  courageous  and  to  try  a  new  art,  in  a  different  discipline.”    Ilana  is  trained  as  an  anthropologist,  and  has  a  profound  interest  in  culture.  She  began  teaching  Capoeira  because  she  noticed  that  this  practice  had  begun  to  spread  all  over  the  world,  but  in  the  process,  it  was  losing  its  focus  on  the  history,  lyrics,  meaning  and  purpose  of  the  artform.  She  loves  to  use  music  as  an  approach  to  history  and  meaning,  and  as  a  dancer  and  a  Capoeira  player,  she  brings  dance  stretches,  yoga  and  strength  movement  to  her  classes.  As  an  anthropologist,  she  sees  Capoeira  as  much  more  than  just  movement,  and  she  tries  to  share  this  life  experience  and  show  the  respect  that  every  culture  deserves.  http://cityheightsmusicschool.com/?page_id=1103

Caymanian  song  with  Natasha  Kozaily    

   

Tuesday  afternoon,  8th  grade    Natasha  Kozaily  grew  up  on  the  small  island  of  Grand  Cayman  in  the  Caribbean  Sea,  180  miles  south  of  Cuba  and  195  miles  west  of  Jamaica.  Her  parents  being  from  opposite  sides  of  the  globe  (her  mother,  a  

native  Islander  of  Cayman,  and  her  father,  a  Lebanese  far  from  home)  resulted  in  Natasha’s  deep  love  and  curiosity  for  the  world  around  which  can  be  seen  throughout  her  music,  teaching,  art,  and  life.     A  nomad  and  creative  tour  de  force,  Natasha  embraces  the  arts  in  all  its  forms.  Lover  of  the  stage  and  theater,  she  honed  her  craft  at  The  American  Academy  of  Dramatic  Arts  in  New  York  City  where  she  graduated  in  2007.  She  studied  classical  piano  from  the  age  of  seven,  and  graduated  in  2010  with  a  Bachelor  of  Arts  in  Music  from  Cardiff  University  in  Wales,  specializing  in  Ethnomusicology.  Her  undergraduate  ethnomusicology  thesis  entitled  “An  Island’s  Story:  Told  through  the  music  of  Julia  Hydes”  is  celebrated  and  treasured  as  the  first  and  only  in-­‐depth  writing  on  Caymanian  folk  musician  and  drummer,  Miss  Julia  Hydes.  In  2014,  Natasha  was  honored  in  celebration  of  Cayman's  National  Heroes  Day  with  The  Emerging  Pioneer  Award  for  her  significant  contribution  to  the  culture  and  heritage  of  the  Cayman  Islands.     After  graduating,  Natasha  moved  to  San  Diego,  California  where  she  now  writes,  records  and  performs  music  under  the  moniker  GUNAKADEIT,  pronounced  (goo-­‐naka-­‐date).  When  Natasha  is  not  touring  she  enjoys  sharing  the  gift  of  music  with  others,  teaching  private  piano  and  voice  to  students  of  all  ages  at  Kalabash  School  of  Arts  in  the  Bird  Rock  neighborhood  of  La  Jolla.  She  also  teaches  various  workshops  on  Caymanian  Folk  Music  and  Songwriting  to  kids  and  adults  in  San  Diego  and  abroad.  She  believes  that  music  is  not  only  a  wonderful  tool  for  self-­‐expression,  but  also  a  key  to  understanding  ourselves  and  humanity  in  this  beautifully  diverse  world  we  all  belong  to.    http://natashakozaily.com/    Schedule
