There are number of outlets to learn and play the piano at George Fox. Here is info on a few of them ..
Learn to play piano
Interested in learning how to play piano? Check out MUSI 135 A and B, a piano class for beginners and intermediate-level students. Beginners are considered those with no previous lessons or a year or less of lessons as a child. Intermediate-level players are those with more than one year of lessons recently or two years of lessons as a child. If you’re not sure, you can always email the instructors.
Level A: Jennifer Garrett (jgarrett@georgefox.edu)
Level B: Barbara Stewart (bstewart@georgefox.edu)
Private lessons
Would you like to learn the piano but are not sure if you want to be in a class? Enroll in MUSA 105 PN for .5 credit. This is “Applied Piano,†which is a private lesson each week. No need to be a music major to enroll in applied piano. Questions? Contact Kenn Willson at kwillson@georgefox.edu
Keyboard Ensemble
A last opportunity for pianists (you will need at least 4-plus years of lessons). Enroll in Keyboard Ensemble, a course that puts two to four students together to work on one or two pianos. This is great fun for pianists to get a similar experience to bands, orchestras or choirs, but you only need to be able to play the piano.
If interested, you can enroll in MUSA 145 K (if you are at 18 credit hours but need to enroll in this ensemble, you can take it for “0†credit). This spring we will be putting together a “Monster Piano Concert” featuring six grand pianos on the Bauman stage, with organ. It’s great fun to prepare, and a big hit with the audience. Contact Kenn Willson for more info: kwillson@georgefox.edu.
Announcing the Music Faculty Showcase Concert! Come hear your colleagues, professors and friends perform musical works by Handel, Corigliano, Weber and more! The concert will include performers on clarinet, saxophone, piano, voice, flute and cello.
Join us for this free event at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, in Bauman Auditorium.
Questions? Contact Sophia Tegart at stegart@georgefox.edu.
Tonight (Tuesday) at 9 p.m. in Cap and Gown (just to the right as you exit “The Bon”), will be our first Shalom chapel elective of the year with guest speaker Steve Sherwood, assistant professor for youth evangelism and discipleship. (You can listen here to a bit of Steve on the Shalom vision behind this gathering).
Shalom is a simple weekly gathering started by student leaders eight years ago. It is more “minimalist” in production and is focused on centering us all around Christ, particularly God’s work through Christ to bring everything back to the wholeness God intended, and how we might participate in God’s work in the world as one “body” with many “parts.”
All are welcome to join us with open hearts together!
For more information, please contact the spiritual life office at spirituallife@georgefox.edu.
