When it comes to teaching the arts at Third Street, the African proverb “it takes a village to raise a child” certainly applies. Here, music,

dance and visual arts instruction are a community effort by faculty, staff, students and families, as well as artists from New York City and around the world.

Many distinguished guest artists have coached Third Street students through the years, and this year is no exception. Along with our superb faculty, who’ve earned advanced degrees from leading colleges and conservatories, these artists raise standards and bring inspiration at Third Street to an international level. This fall and winter, the volume of master classes, workshops and activities with visiting artists has created a whirlwind here at Third Street.

In early December, 13 students from the Chamber Music Program performed a Concerto Grosso by baroque composer Arcangelo Corelli and participated in two master classes with violinist Cal Wiersma, representing the internationally-acclaimed Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Orpheus performs without a conductor, but prefers the term “musician-led,” and investigating that distinction was the focus of Cal’s work as he drew new ways of thinking, listening and interacting from the students. Earlier in

the fall, alumnus Kenneth Gordon taught a violin master class for advanced students. Mr. Gordon, who recently retired as Assistant Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic, will give a second master class this spring. In January, the Invert quartet, so called because it includes two cellos instead of two violins, performed an original composition and taught improvisation and non-traditional playing techniques to chamber music students. Leslie Dunner, Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Joffrey Ballet, conducted our advanced orchestra, Philharmonia. And, not least, a group of students performed with four Orpheus musicians and viola alumnus Masumi Per Rostad of the Pacifica Quartet at our 114th Anniversary Luncheon in November 2008.

But the inspiration doesn’t stop there. It’s in the air every day at Third Street as students inspire each other. A beginning musician hears an advanced student play something new, beautiful and difficult, and learning that music becomes her heart’s desire. A young dancer sees an older one execute a thrilling dance combination, and his mind opens to new possibilities for his own achievement. Soon enough, they, in turn, advance and inspire others. When students encounter 360° inspiration,

aspirations expand and the sky’s the limit.

It’s virtually impossible to turn on the TV or radio or open a newspaper without hearing about the economic crisis. While the effects of the economy touch

everyone, arts education is especially vulnerable. Why? In economic downturns, many donors shift support to organizations they believe are more crucial, like food pantries and shelters. Of course, we should support such important causes but we cannot give up on the arts in times of crisis. They matter now more than ever. The arts enable us to dream, to hope, to survive and to express ourselves. The arts also foster community, among students, teachers, families, peers, multiple generations, and various cultures, races and socio-economic classes. Every day we see how the arts bring smiles and laughter, encourage deep thought and concentration and provide an expressive outlet. Our students learn lifelong skills like working together toward a particular outcome and how it feels to accomplish something important.

Although Third Street is affected by the economic crisis with declining individual and institutional contributions, the School is in a strong financial position. Appropriate steps are being taken to reduce or eliminate anything that can be put off until later or that might not be central to our core mission. Of utmost importance is ensuring that no student is turned away because of an inability to pay. We will do everything we can to identify more funding for need-based tuition assistance, so no student has to suspend his/her studies for financial reasons. Like most organizations, Third Street’s endowment has decreased in value since this time last year, having a direct impact on our resources to support programs in future years. We will continue to be cautious and conservative in our planning for next year.

As the nation’s oldest community school of the arts, Third Street has weathered many a storm. We’ve adjusted to challenging economic times before and know how imperative it is to bring the arts to life in our community. We are grateful that a place like Third Street exists and for your continued support.

With all best wishes,

Third Street Music School Settlement is a dynamic and vibrant institution that has had a profound influence on thousands of lives during its 115-year history. Our

excellent faculty and programs are known and respected throughout the country. But how do we live our mission even more fully? The School’s Strategic Planning Committee was charged with answering this question and many others. For instance: How can we expand our reach and have an impact on more lives? How can we ensure that the School remains healthy, lively and relevant in the 21st century? How can we preserve our highly successful core programs while addressing our community’s changing needs? The committee, comprised of Third Street’s board members and senior staff, discussed and addressed many such questions during a nearly year-long strategic planning process resulting in the 2007-2012 Strategic Plan, adopted at the Board’s June 2008 meeting.

First, it’s important to point out that this Strategic Plan isn’t “new.” It’s based on the 2002-2006 Plan formulated with the help of Washburn Partners, an external consultancy that specializes in organizational strategic planning. In developing that plan, 10 strategy meetings were held; 20 individual staff and

faculty meetings were conducted; 375 parents, faculty, staff and board members responded to a written survey; all of the School’s then-current programs were reviewed; and the national community arts field was assessed. In reviewing the 2002-2006 Plan, the Strategic Planning Committee realized there was more to do in all of the objectives identified. Thus, with only minor revisions and additions, the 2002-2006 goals became the goals for the 2007-2012 Plan. What makes the 2007-2012 Plan different is that the Committee developed an implementation strategy which includes specific objectives, expected outcomes, responsibility, accountability, costs and funding sources to ensure that the goals will be fully accomplished.

It is also important to remember that the Plan is a “living document” and we will continue to tweak and revise it over the next five years based on the results achieved, feedback from all of the School’s constituencies, and the School’s financial resources and fund-raising opportunities. And, implementation of the Plan’s strategies will most certainly be affected by the national economic crisis, so the timeline may extend beyond the next five years.

Thank you for your interest and involvement. Together, we will achieve these goals and make Third Street an even better school.

Goals of the 2007–2012 Strategic PlanENRICH MUSIC PROGRAMS

• Expand adult participation

• Embrace technology for instruction and student support services

• Address specific capital needs

ensemble master class Inspires chamber music Students

One of the Fall 2008 Chamber Music Program’s ensembles participated in two master classes with Cal Wiersma of the Grammy Award-winning

Orpheus Chamber Orchestra in December. The 13-piece group, coached by Third Street violinist José Pietri-Coimbre, was composed of violin, viola, cello, bass and harpsichord. Cal asked each student to take a turn leading the tricky opening of the music. “How do you show in the motion before you play what it is that you want the sound to be like? Who leads, since there’s no conductor? What kind of impression do you as a group want to make initially? Sometimes you learn just from seeing what others did and what sound resulted from it. In the end, you realize that everyone is leading at once.”

The students were also invited to sit on the stage of Carnegie Hall for an Orpheus rehearsal on the evening of December 6. For them, it was awe-inspiring to experience the legendary auditorium and its famed acoustics from the same vantage point as the greatest musicians of all time. Later that evening, the students attended Orpheus’ concert, along with 50 other Third Streeters.

“I was very impressed by the students’ eagerness and their willingness to learn. They were really well prepared, but also willing to incorporate my ideas into their playing and make something really beautiful come out of it. I felt like the piece really came a long way even between the two sessions.”—Cal Wiersma, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

Give the Gift of music

For more than a century, Third Street students have benefited from the generosity of the School’s many friends who have donated quality musical instruments for their use. To everyone who has

ever donated an instrument, we thank you. A quality instrument makes all the difference in the world. It elevates a student’s level of performance and sense of accomplishment. As you, your family and friends think about “spring cleaning,” please keep Third Street’s students in mind. Perhaps there’s a precious instrument in your closet, attic, basement or garage that could have a second life at Third Street.

If you happened to stop by the Anna-Maria Kellen Auditorium to hear our woodwind and brass students perform in February,

you might have thought you’d gone back in time to the Big Band Swing era. Third Street’s first-ever Jazz Big Band started this year as part of our new Woodwinds & Brass Initiative. Micah Killion, Coordinator, says “We had lots of new students this year for Wednesday Winds and we know that providing ensemble opportunities keeps them interested and involved. With the right instrumentation available, and a lot of interest in jazz, the Big Band idea seemed like a natural companion to the two symphonic bands.” Keep on swingin’!

Dhip hop to the third PowerB Y R O B E R T R O S E L L O

Hip Hop started in the street and now it’s at Third Street—every Monday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Bob Marley’s “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” boasts a different kind of beat, as kids clad

in jeans, t-shirts and sneakers bounce, kick, stomp, jump and pose to the rhythm. The class, much like Third Street, fosters tradition and creativity. Here originality rules in a fast-paced, high-energy hour of fun and funk as some very motivated youngsters show their talent and joy for dance.

“I’ve seen a lot of kids really grow,” says Rebecca Navarro, who leads the Hip Hop class. “Their confidence has improved, which is huge. Kids get a chance to express themselves, and each one gets a chance to shine, whether soloing in front of the class or leading the class through a routine. To see them have more rhythm, more flexibility or even a little more technique, it’s inspiring and refreshing.”

Hip Hop at Third Street uses pop music from students’ favorite artists and focuses on free-form dance moves—as seen every day on MTV. Unlike Tap and Ballet, which employ techniques with a venerable tradition, Hip Hop introduces students to dance through movement they recognize and emulate from today’s culture, providing a portal through which to explore other dance forms. Through Hip Hop, youth can express their feelings, ideas and originality. It may be a new program, but all bets are on that Hip Hop will build momentum and go to the next level here. Cara Gargano, chair of Third Street’s dance department says, “We certainly hope that we will keep the students who are starting this new program and that as they increase in proficiency we can add more advanced classes.” It’s looking like Third Street students will be taking Hip Hop to the Third Power.
