THIRD STREET MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENT

For 114 years, Third Street has dependedon the generosity of friends who havedonated pianos to the School. Most werefine instruments, but after years of hard

work, many are now well past their prime. This fall, again thanks to the generosity offriends, Third Street was able to purchase its first brand-new piano in 114 years!

It all began one year ago at an event hosted in the home of Board Director CurtLivingston and his wife, Pam, to introduce Third Street friends to Executive DirectorLee Koonce, and showcase some of Third Street’s student performers. At the event, Leespoke about the School’s future and some of its challenges, specifically mentioningthe condition of its piano inventory. Guests learned that the average age of ThirdStreet’s pianos was 78 — and some were more than 100 years old! Further, theSchool had never purchased a new piano, but had amassed its 32-piano inventorythrough donations spanning more than a century.

Upon hearing this, one of the guests pledged $50,000 from her family’s foundation,the Y.C. Ho/Helen and Michael Chiang Foundation, toward a new piano for theSchool. The prospect of a new piano was on the horizon.

When longtime Board member Raymond B. Gary passed away last spring, Third Streetreceived many contributions in his memory. Ray’s wife, Prue Gary, decided that allocatingthese gifts toward the purchase and maintenance of a new concert grand piano would bea most fitting tribute to Ray. Combining these gifts with the Chiang Foundation’s grantenabled us to replace our most important and visible piano, one that was suffering frommyriad ailments, our Anna-Maria Kellen Auditorium’s 9-foot Steinway concert grand.

On September 21, 2007, a group of faculty and staff visited the Steinway factoryin Astoria, Queens to play and listen

to five Model D pianos. After muchdeliberation, they selected Third

Street’s new instrument. A weeklater, on September 27, it arrived.A dedication recital took placeon November 10, 2007, honoringthe donors along with a specialmusical tribute to Ray Gary. Leesaid, “Every little Twinkler, youngand old, student, faculty, and guestartist—and audience member—

will have an impact on whatthis instrument will becomeover the next many years… it will continue to get better

and better and tell the worldof the amazing things that happen here every day.”

Expand Your HorizonsThere’s a lot to be said for learning something new. Here at Third Street, a groupof adult music beginners, age 50 and over, are doing just that. They are members ofNew York City’s first New Horizons Band, an international organization dedicatedto engaging adults in lifelong music making. The diverse group includes veterans,former teachers, social workers and firefighters, among others. Since last October,they have been learning to play the flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet,trombone and French horn in small group rehearsals and in band practice sessions, led by faculty member Benjamin Aneff. They gave their debut perform-ance on January 31, 2007. To learn more about this free program, contactNancy Morgan, Director of School and Community Partnerships, at 212-777-3240,ext. 120, or e-mail her at nmorgan@thirdstreetmusicschool.org.

participating in our new GEM(“Going the Extra Mile”) program,which nurtures and challenges thenatural artistic abilities, curiosity andenthusiasm of some of the most motivatedstudents who come to Third Street throughour partner public schools.

The GEM Program provides a full scholar-ship for individual lessons and courses inour after-school program. José is takingtwo half-hour individual cello lessons per week with Sibylle Johner; is a memberof a group cello class taught by ShondaWooley; and studies composition withNicholas Scarim. With his P.S. 19 classmates, he also comes to Third Streetfor group instruction on woodwind andbrass instruments (José chose trumpet)twice a week during regular school hours.

Recently, José composed a piece forcello entitled The Legend of the Algonquinthat he is perfecting for performance.Open to all kinds of music – jazz, rock andclassical – José is an enthusiastic regularat Philharmonia and other concerts. Heis supported strongly by his mom, whoattends at least one of his lessons eachweek. Young José has definite musicalgoals in mind: one is to master vibratoand the other is to play the electric guitar.Although Ms. Johner has put these onhold for the moment, José hasplayed the cello in more thansix Saturday afternoon MusicHours in the Anna-MariaKellen Auditorium, andlooks forward to even moreopportunities to shine.

Led by faculty member Viorica Morris-Stan,they thought out each stage in advance. They decoratedthe frames with musical motifs that they expanded uponin the paintings, and shaped them mindful of where they would place the violin bows. The children’s art gracedThird Street’s lobby this fall.

Woodwinds, Brass & Percussion Initiative

B elieve it or not, a lot of students in our public school partnerships have neverseen a clarinet, let alone played one. Third Street’s Woodwinds, Brass &Percussion Initiative is changing that.

With advice and seed monies from the New York City Department of Education,we piloted the Initiative in February 2007, focusing on 4th-6th graders because theyare physically mature enough to play these instruments, and can progress quickly.Students from PS 19, TASS and East Side Community School walked to Third Streettwice weekly for group lessons on trumpet, saxophone, flute and clarinet. They wereimmediately hooked when Third Street flute student Daniel Casey, then 14, performedfor them. As one girl said, “[He] inspired me to try something new…I told myself Icould be as good as him one day.”

The program has already doubled in size this school year, serving 131 students,thanks to the commitment of partner schools;significant support from UJA-Federation ofNew York’s Music for Youth Initiative, New YorkCity Department of Cultural Affairs and theNew York State Department of Education,along with many other funders; and instru-ment donations to two partner schools fromVH1 Save the Music Foundation.

The Initiative’s Kick-Off Celebration on October 10, 2007 brought together 200 students from partner schools, Third Streetboard members, and special guests includingNew York State Assemblymember Deborah J.Glick, and Barbara Murray, Director of Musicfor the New York City Department ofEducation, for an inspiring performance byImani Winds. This quintet of accomplishedmusicians of African- and Latino-Americanheritage have also just joined Third Street’sArtistic Advisory Board.

Third Street CompetesSuccessfully in RestructuredCity Funding Process

For Fiscal Year 2008, Third Street Music School Settlement’sfunding from New York City’s Department of CulturalAffairs (DCA) grew more than seven-fold from $13,400 to$100,000 as a result of a streamlined and more equitable

process. Last year, the City overhauled the way it distributesand awards funding to nonprofit cultural institutions byeliminating mayoral and councilmember line item funding.Cultural institutions, therefore, no longer spend time andresources lobbying local representatives, but rely on a competitive process that rewards fiscal stability and programsthat demonstrate measurable success.

With a more level playing field in which to compete for artsfunding, worthy institutions like Third Street are able to meritincreased support from the City. Indeed, we received the fullamount of our request: $50,000 to strengthen our publicschool partnership programs; $40,000 to provide qualityinstruction to students who cannot afford the full cost oftuition; and $10,000 to support our free community concerts.

And it gets better: the DCA has slated Third Street to receive$100,000 again in Fiscal Year 2009, pending City budgetapprovals which are expected to be finalized by July 1, 2008.This will help us leverage new and increased support from foundations, corporations and individuals to meet our financial needs.
