Arts Blast will arrive in two parts this first week in July. What ever happened to the summer slowdown?

Talk about rollercoaster rides! Events are scheduled, then they're canceled. Something opens, then it closes. Changing minds, changing policies, changing rules. We're all learning new meanings for flexibility and finding new levels of frustration.

For me, this week was about radio. I wrote last time that Cultural Connection on the Air, the radio show I produce for the Cultural Council of Indian River County, was coming back from a two-month break. Hoorays and high fives all around! I scheduled a recording date with Oscar Sales, marketing director at Riverside Theatre, and Adam Schnell, artistic director/CEO of Ballet Vero Beach. We recorded the first show the morning of July 1 and promoted its July 6 airing. By the end of the day, internal workings at the recording studio changed course and all bets — and shows — were off.

It took only one day for the incredible team at Planet Vero/Idea Garden to get the rollercoaster back on track and book the show on a new platform. More details will follow, bu t get ready to listen to Cultural Connection on the Air Sunday July 5 at 9 p.m. on WCZR 101.7FM.
I'm working on getting the shows archived at WilliMillersArtsBlast.com.

We'll get there, but we have to wait patiently and safely and remember that "there" might not be how we remember it when this year started.

As always, For Helen Miller 
Piano Lessons in the Midst of a Pandemic
A guest editorial by Dr. Marcos Daniel Flores 6/18/2020
After 35 years of teaching one on one piano lessons in person, it never occurred to me that I would ever be teaching piano lessons over the internet. This subject never came up during my years as a piano major in college. 

As a classical piano teacher, I’m used to very traditional practices such as using acoustic pianos, piano literature books, and face to face student-teacher interaction. Only in special circumstances my students have used technology such as electronic keyboards or internet downloaded copies of music to play Bach, Beethoven, or Chopin; but NEVER remote learning. Yet, our current unprecedented virus crisis has forced all of us to be creative and adapt for the sake of the musical progress of all our piano students worldwide. Online Teaching has become the perfect tool to provide education with the proper social distancing 100% risk free.

However, many odds and challenges were against this new way of learning for my entire piano studio ranging from ages 9 through 90. Will the students have an electronic device such as a smart phone, tablet, or computer available? Will the students have the trust and the knowledge to use a videocall platform over the internet? Will the students have a reliable WiFi or broadband internet service? Would the isolated impersonal setting between student/teacher via technology prove to be totally impractical or unproductive? Will the wide array of different house settings and families be able to be subject to a one-hour weekly moment of uninterrupted silence for the student’s virtual learning? 

Well, the alternative would simply be much worse. Stopping piano lessons for many months will likely lead to students missing motivation and direction to practice their piano instruments regularly. As a result, the student not only will lose the ability to keep their repertoire in top form, but the student will also stop the progress of learning new pieces, theory and techniques.

To our surprise, our online piano lessons have proved not only to be effective, but they are even FUN! In essence, this online session provides the main important learning elements we usually get from an in-person lesson. Among them, motivation and specific goals to work on for each lesson; the correction of notes, rhythms, fingering, and artistic interpretations of the music; and even other advanced techniques such as pedaling, hand gestures, and body posture. After a test session to ensure we get the best signal, audio levels, and camera positions, our online lessons have now become our new normal in which we are able to do our planning, our learning, and even our performing by occasionally getting multiple students to play for each other on a virtual online concert hall!
There is no doubt that nothing will ever replace all the unique benefits that in person teaching has been offering us for so many centuries. Among these, the fresh and natural sound and visual quality, the full expression of human feelings when in proximity with each other, and even the simple and taken for granted simultaneous playing or singing, which unfortunately is not yet possible on our common videocall platforms. Yet, online learning has become an ideal and immediate solution to the many limitations that our pandemic crisis has created for all of us. Let us continue to make the best out of the moment and be safe. Now, back to practicing!
From one of Flores' online students, Debbie Pillorgé:

Piano Lessons with Marcos in the Time of Covid

During “Covid,” my piano lessons with Marcos are a lifesaver. So much right now seems uncertain, disturbing and scary with this pandemic. Moods shift constantly from hopeful to despairing…wondering if social distancing and a strange fear of being close to people will continue indefinitely.
Piano lessons, even on SKYPE are a solid, dependable constant…a time to relax, enjoy, and learn. With Marcos as an enthusiastic, talented and inspiring teacher the hour’s lesson is a welcomed focused time with no outside worries intruding. The music at hand is all consuming.
It is an uplifting time to look forward to; learning new pieces, new interpretations, new techniques. It’s great to experience the steady, gradual process resulting in the eventual confidence and satisfaction playing a challenging piece at last for family or a friend.

Making it work via SKYPE, ZOOM or FACETIME takes a highly energetic, enthusiastic and very patient teacher. Without those personality qualities, it would be difficult to motivate and inspire a student of any age. In addition, for myself, as an older adult, Marcos’ in-depth knowledge of music and composers, serious focus on musicality as well as relevant techniques is especially appreciated. For all students, his sense of humor, and variety of fun anecdotes and analogies are essential to making the “virtual” situation work.  I am delighted when he feels the need to demonstrate a particularly important point occasionally and brilliantly plays an exactly relevant passage from all kinds of other compositions (by memory of course!)

Obviously, virtual lessons aren’t as easy or perfect as “real” ones, whether it’s music, art, math or anything else. But finding inspiration and motivation in our lives especially now during this coronavirus period is so important. For me, piano lessons with Marcos, even at a distance, help keep life on a very positive track.

It's First Friday Gallery Stroll in Vero Beach July 3.
Summer at Riverside Theatre!
(The theatre is closed for the holiday weekend)
Summer camp 2020 will be a new and interesting challenge at Riverside Children's Theatre in this very challenging year. It's a musical, of course, The Big One-oh!, based on Dean Pitchford's popular book, but the rehearsals will have a very different look this summer. Think Zoom, virtual, online.

Kevin Quillinan, director of theatre education at Riverside and director of this show, said, "The Big One-Oh is a very exciting new adventure for us. It's a whole new world for everyone, and we're all trying to navigate a way forward. There are a lot of interesting conversations among the theatre arts community now about how to meet those challenges."

Finding solutions creates opportunities to discover new ways to tell stories and to push students' talents in new directions, he added. "Mostly I'm happy to be still finding ways to connect with the students and keep our fun, little community together."

Quillinan explained the requirements for executing the ambitious plan. " Every member of the cast will need a computer with secure and reliable internet access, and a device, such as a smart phone, computer, or tablet that allows students the ability to record themselves singing and dancing. For the rehearsals, cast members will need to be in a space that is relatively noise-free, where they can sing at full voice and perform any choreography full out."
The summer camp will start July 13 and run five times a week for the next two weeks ending July 24. “Camp Classes” will be from 2-4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. There will be a maximum of 20 students in the camp. No auditions will be required to enter the program and roles will be cast during rehearsals. Cost for the online class is $300. A final video performance of the show will be provided to families! Students must register online.
It would be great to be able to give Arts Blast readers definite dates and times but not much seems to be definite these days. Some of the events you'll read about here have come in from different people in different versions. Some have been modified several times before I finally got to hit Send. Verify, double check, and then do it again before you go out the door. And when you do go out, take a mask. Without one, you risk being turned away.
Drive-in Music by the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra
You bring the popcorn, they'll bring the music. It's back to the old days with the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra this summer as they recreate a drive-in movie experience for the Space Coast Strong Summer Series, keeping musicians and the audiences safe. Musicians will be separated by acrylic barriers and the audience can listen from cars or in their own chairs next to their cars.
Maestro Aaron Collins said, " Each concert will honor a different segment of the Central Florida community, for sacrifices made to keep our American spirit strong." The series kicks off Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11 with On Broadway , a symphonic concert of Broadway's best. The concert will salute health care workers and first responders with time-honored Broadway numbers.

On August 14 and 15, the SCSO Wind Band presents Sweet Land of Liberty. The red, white and blue concert will honor all those who have worn our nation's uniform as well as our defense workers. listen for "jaunty marches, anthems, and American-inspired themes."
All Treasure Coast drive-up concerts will be performed on Fridays at 7:00 p.m. at Pathway Church, 1105 58th Avenue in Vero Beach. All Space Coast drive-up concerts will be performed on Saturdays at 7:00 p.m. at The Avenue Viera, 2261 Town Center Avenue in Melbourne. Tickets for the drive-up concerts are $10 per person or $25 per carload of adults at spacecoastsymphony.org . Admission is free for ages 18 and under or with a student ID. Advance online ticket sales are encouraged, to help limit social interaction with parking attendants.

First Presbyterian Church of Vero Beach Schedules Youth Orchestra Concert and Gallery Tours
Ja cob Craig, director of arts and music at First Pres, sends word of an August 9 concert and the reopening of The Galleries at First Pres. The concert, Summer Series String Concert with the FPCVB Youth String Orchestra, begins at 3 p.m.

Craig said the concert will have the Youth Orchestra of First Pres playing selections from the Mozart Requiem, Shostakovich Waltz, Ashokan Farewell, and Saint-Saens' Havanaise featuring Sam Bormett as soloist. The main piece will be the Triptyque by Akutagawa.

The performance will be in the Sanctuary with social distancing seating and masks required. Craig said the 22-24 participating students will have been working on the concert all summer and are "both very exited and eager! We are so excited to be able to safely present some live music and art. We have sorely missed being together, and though electronic forms have been very useful, they are at the end an incredibly poor substitute for the aesthetic experience that live experiences allow.”

The Galleries at First Pres will be open after the concert "to be able to acknowledge our fine artists during this time before our rotation changes out in October." Refreshments won't be served at the 4-6 p.m. reception this time but bottled water will be available for visitors.

The artists for this quarter are Suzann Phillips, Donna Ware, and Keith Mills.

With the extended deadline for event entries in the Cultural Council of Indian River County's 2020-2021 Cultural Guide, the Art of Networking that is the kickoff for the publication's distribution has been moved back to October. Stay tuned for location and date.

Final deadline for everything is August 1st. From Lisa Lindner, who's putting it all together: "Of course it helps us to receive it earlier. I'd like to start letting folks know to have their events listed in the Guide they need to enter them on the calendar   culturalcalendar.org  and then also email info@cultural– council.org  with a list of events so we have a double check. 

Due to the disruptions caused by COVID-19, the annual juried photography exhibition Through the Eye of the Camera will not be held this season as planned.

The Museum is encouraging photographers instead to post their images on social media with the hashtag #EyeAmCreative, to share their artistry for people to enjoy during isolation and beyond the Museum’s walls during these uncertain times.

This favorite yearly competition will return!
