What is a CNCM Mini Summer Sizzler?
Northern Lights Canadian National Conservatory of Music (CNCM) has been promoting Canadian music from its inception. The CNCM goal has been one of bringing together students, teachers, families, and composers through new publications of Canadian works. Our programs such as Summer Sizzle, Composers & Kids, and online sessions such as Composers at Play/Work, Northern Lights Festival and Meet the Composer Sessions, as well as the expansion of our YouTube channel combine to offer the greater music community opportunity to compose, learn, teach and grow Canadian content/works. How does a CNCM Mini Summer Sizzler work? CNCM Mini Summer Sizzlers may be offered in your community and are scheduled for approximately 5 hours. The event includes two student workshops which are performance based, each approximately 1.5 hours in length as follows: 1). Canadian Jazz, Pop or Rock! Host Composer: Andrew Harbridge * this session will feature Canadian jazz, pop, or rock solos OR realized lead sheets. Each participant will select and prepare one Canadian jazz, pop, or rock style solo OR realized lead sheet to be performed in master class style. * the host composer will work with each student offering ideas regarding the performance. o the host composer will also share historical facts, performance practices and/or composer information of each work. * all stages of preparation are welcome.
