1 C THE S ORE N O R T H S H O R E M U S I C T E A C H E R S President s Message Spring is just around the corner, and many of us are busy preparing our students for the AIM performance exams which will be held on April 15, 22 and 29. I was thrilled to learn that 673 students and 68 teachers participated in the theory exams in January: this makes AIM NSMTA s largest and most popular program. As a teacher who has entered students in AIM for decades, I have always believed in the value of its comprehensive musicianship approach. Not only are students required to perform repertoire, they also become fluent in technique, harmonization, sight-reading and transposing, aural skills and written skills. A student who completes a level of the exams is developing a well-rounded group of skills that!1 Jennifer Merry, NSMTA President make them a better, more knowledgable musician. But those skills by themselves don t necessarily translate into better musicianship. Ideally, a good teacher will help each student to synthesize these skills and apply them to the repertoire they are currently studying. A S S O C I A T I O N As an example, after studying various cadences for AIM, can we help our students to find examples of these in their pieces and discuss what they mean in terms of interpretation? Can we help students to understand the emotional differences between a half cadence and an authentic one? Can they make a deceptive cadence sound truly deceptive? Some students might not understand how these concepts apply to their music and might pass right over the details unless we point them out. There are countless other opportunities to help our students incorporate the theory and technic skills of the exams into their everyday practice and performance. I encourage you to think holistically and creatively about this opportunity. And if you don t already participate in the AIM program, please consider it for the future! I look forward to seeing everyone at the March meeting!
2 MARCH 26 PRESENTATION JING CHANG Tai Chi and Piano Technique For generations pianists have endeavored to overcome the limitations of their bodies and mindset. The principles of Tai Chi address the physical and psychological problems of playing piano, through its Taoist root, internal flow of energy, circular motion system, breathing and meditation. This presentation will demonstrate the ways Tai Chi can help pianists to interpret music, balance the sound, and incorporate breathing and body. etc Jing Chang is an accomplished concert pianist and an experienced piano teacher. She received her Doctor of Musical Arts degree (Piano Performance) from the University of Minnesota and was Assistant Professor at the China Conservatory after receiving her Bachelor and Master degrees there. Ms. Chang has performed widely as soloist and chamber musician both in the United States and in China. One of the notable performances was in 2003 at the Steinway & Sons 150th Anniversary Celebration & Concert in Forbidden City in Beijing. Ms. Chang won the 2013 University of Minnesota Concerto Competition, the 16 th Annual Masters Concerto and Aria Competition of the Kenwood Symphony Orchestra, the 2013 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition, the 2007 Asian Piano Open Competition in Beijing, and several other major national young artist piano competitions in Asia. She also was a Quarter Finalist of the 2014 Dallas International Piano Competition. Ms. Chang taught for a couple of years at the China Conservatory of Music in Beijing before pursuing further studies in the U.S. While attending the University of Minnesota she served as Teaching Assistant providing both piano class and private piano lessons. She has been invited on numerous occasions to lead masterclasses and to perform solo recitals in China and the U.S. Ms. Chang is currently the Founder of Dr. Chang s Music Studios in Buffalo Grove and Harwood Heights Illinois.! 2
3 March 26 Pre-meeting: Michael Pecak Poetic Pianism: Playing Chopin s (Musical) Language Chopin, the poet of the piano is an expression that originates in the composer s lifetime as a romantic sobriquet and that persists to this day as a truism. Yet, what does it mean to refer to a composer of mostly solo piano music someone who expressed himself not through words but through instrumental sounds as a poet? Furthermore, how does the verbal art influence the musical art and how can a modern-day pianist synthesize the two into a musical-poetic utterance via a linguistically neutral instrument? My paper explores the dynamics between poetry and music, text and melody, vocal and instrumental works, through the mediating force of language, specifically Polish. Chopin s style of lyricism, I argue, is rooted in idiomatic linguistic concepts traceable to his studies in Warsaw with Józef Elsner. The core of my study consists of a close reading of two theoretical-pedagogical treatises by Elsner: On the Meter and Rhythm of the Polish Language (1818) and Treatise on Melody and Chant (1830). Elsner herein discusses the prosodic qualities of the Polish language, inflection and accentuation, and proper musical settings of Polish verse with the goal of [aiding] composers in creating melodies for texted and instrumental works that do not disfigure the mother-tongue. After examining Chopin s art songs, Op. 74, in light of Elsner s precepts, I extract analogies for the conceptualization and performance of his solo piano music. I argue that an understanding of Polish prosody and scansion can better define the lyrical qualities usually associated with Chopin s music and uniquely inform our decisions in phrasing, pacing, and inflecting his melodies in other words, how we might play more poetically. Chicago-born pianist and conductor Michael Pecak has performed to great acclaim throughout North America and Europe on both historical and modern instruments. Having earned degrees from Northwestern (BM with Alan Chow, Julian Dawson, and Victor Yampolsky) and Indiana Universities (MM with André Watts), Michael was a Fulbright Scholar in Warsaw, Poland, and a Graduate Fellow at Cornell University where he worked with Malcolm Bilson. He holds a DMA in historical fortepiano from McGill University. As a fortepianist, Michael has performed in the Vancouver Early Music Festival, the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies, and the Festival de Musique Montreal Baroque. His scholarly articles on the music of Beethoven and Chopin have been published by Keyboard Perspectives (of Cornell University) and the National Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw. An ardent lover of opera and art-song, Michael enjoys working with vocalists as accompanist, coach, and répétiteur. A regular collaborator with soprano Hannah De Priest, the duo s upcoming programs include works by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Michael teaches piano at the Northwestern University Music Academy, writes about opera for the blog Schmopera, and is an active freelance conductor, pianist, and collaborator.! 3
