SUMMARY:Grant Event - The Art of Memorization & Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Umatilla-Morrow\nPresenter: Dr. Michelle Huang \nThis is a two-part class: 10:00 am to 12 pm and 1:30 to 3:30 pm (master class time) \nProgram Description: “I played through it without the music just fine before!” We have all been there. What makes someone a better memorizer than others? In this talk\, we will look at the four different types of memory: visual\, tactile\, aural\, and analytical\, and how to best use them to securely memorize our pieces for the next performance. We will learn that there is a direct correlation between excellent practice habits and memory\, and how the act of storytelling can really help to secure that memory. \nPresenter Bio: A native of Taiwan\, pianist Michelle Huang has performed and taught extensively throughout the U.S. as well as abroad in the Czech Republic\, Italy\, Switzerland\, and Taiwan.

The Symposium was conducted virtually for pre-college and college students as well as teachers\, in which guest speakers were invited to present topics such as the art of practicing\, the art of memorization\, and Alexander Technique\, as well as a masterclass. \nMichelle Huang holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Tennessee\, and Doctor of Music in Piano Performance from Florida State University.
