MSU students, faculty share music with Detroit youth
March 19, 2008
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State University’s College of Music is reaching out to young people in Detroit by hosting a series of workshops at Cornerstone Schools, which teach children from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. MSU professors and students will conduct workshops that include entertainment and instruction to give the students a well-rounded musical learning experience.
Derek Polischuk, assistant professor of piano and director of piano pedagogy, kicked off the project on March 4 with a performance by two MSU piano students followed by a master class. During the class, MSU students worked with Cornerstone student ensembles to prepare them for their upcoming recitals.
“I hope that the MSU students and I were able to drum up excitement about musical study. I hope we brought the next level of refinement to their playing,” said Polischuk.
