On Wednesday our Music staff and students were treated to a rare opportunity to have Michael Shinn and Jessica Shinn visit our school. Both Michael and Jessica are Juilliard alumni, which is why we had the privilege of hosting them due to our collaboration with The Juilliard School.
This has been another highly successful year for LAMDA students in Secondary with 27 candidates entered resulting in a very encouraging set of results, including 16 Distinction, 9 Merit and 2 Pass Grades.
Not so long ago we had an amazing conversation with Kathryn Andersen, Regents' curriculum specialist from Juilliard, and so we want to share it with you.
One of the most exciting outcomes from The Juilliard Continuing Professional Development was that we got to meet our Juilliard Curriculum Specialist, Kathryn Anderson, who is linked to our school and will be working alongside the Regents Music Staff to introduce and embed the curriculum. Kathryn will be visiting us 3 times this year and is very excited about her first trip to Regents at the end of October.
What a great start to the Year we’ve had. I knew this School was special when I made a preliminary visit in May, but the students here have a passion and bravery like nothing I’ve ever witnessed before.
The program will seek to inspire and equip Regents' students with the skills, curiosity, and cultural literacy to engage with the performing arts throughout their lives.
