On February 27, NY Philharmonic’s Jon Deak will offer a free children’s composition workshop at the Music Conservatory. The workshop, which begins at 12:30PM, is open to the public. Advanced registration is requested. Later that afternoon, “Kids on Central: Piano, Percussion, and Harp” will teach audience members about what the three instruments have in common through engaging demonstrations and original compositions written and performed by Conservatory students. The unique stories center on a “Magic Ring!” Children also have the opportunity to see, touch, and try out the different instruments prior to the concert at 2:30PM.
Amanda Ryckman, who moved to Chappaqua from Florida a few months ago, enrolled her daughter in music and voice classes and it is really paying off. “It’s opened a lot of doors,” Ryckman said of her 10-year-old daughter, Victoria. “My daughter, right now, her whole life is music. She’s already doing opera, she’s singing in Italian.” Victoria wasn’t singing in Italian on Saturday, but she did play the role of a rural mouse in “City Mouse-Country Mouse,” produced by the Music Conservatory of Westchester.
