Hands-On Learning in the Community
Through partnerships with several community organizations, 我校为学生提供了许多与专业音乐家一起排练和演出的机会.
Salina Symphony Orchestra
所有主修弦乐的学生都被邀请参加在萨利纳地区交响乐团演出的试镜,并了解其运作. 管乐/打击乐专业的学生可根据空缺名额邀请. 学生可能有机会协助萨利纳青年交响乐团和青年合唱团的导演参加排练, sitting in with the younger players, leading sectionals and providing private lessons. 这为公立学校之外的小学到高中学生提供了独特的实践教学经验.
Theatre Salina
千亿国际登录有与全国知名的萨利纳剧院合作的历史,每年都会上演一部大型音乐剧. This partnership includes students, faculty, and community members in the cast, crew, and pit orchestra. Unique among universities in the area, 我们与萨利纳剧院的合作伙伴关系让学生有机会体验高质量的戏剧作品,而无需前往萨利纳以外的地方.
