Juilliard Alumnus Andrew Wangemann Visits DCIS

Jazz drummer and composer from Juilliard conducts workshops and music presentation

On Thursday 7th June, DCIS was privileged to host Juilliard alumnus Mr. Andrew Wangemann. A number of Primary and Secondary School classes were able to attend Andrew’s educational music performance, seeing and hearing close-up what it is to be a professional musician – in Andrew’s case, a jazz drummer and composer.

Students enjoyed asking questions about the drums and how they can be played, and made helpful connections to their music learning in class. Andrew also ran a Year 7 jazz rhythms workshop as well as a workshop for our student rock bands. We look forward to more visits from Juilliard alumni in the next school year.
