**Second Saturdays**

free online masterclasses + interactive workshops with SJSM-SPCM Faculty

NOTE: the MARCH workshop has been cancelled. Please sign up below to join us for a great session in April!

next session: “If it Ain’t Baroque…”

Saturday, April 12th, @ 11AM

Do you ever wonder what is Baroque Music? Or scratch your head thinking, what the heck are those squiggles and what do they mean? How many Bach’s WERE there?

Travel back into time during Second Saturday to explore what was the Baroque period, learn who the major influences were and gain tips about how to decipher the ornamentation you find in your music today. You’ll walk away with a dash of music history and a boost of confidence for tackling your next Baroque piece!

Do you have any questions or specific topics you'd want to be addressed during the workshop?

Would you be interested in performing during the class?

You don't need even a complete piece or anything special - any bit of a piece, etude, etc. would be fine! This is a low stakes performance.

Are you currently receiving online lessons or instruction through Music Across Minnesota?

Can we send you information about future second saturday sessions and other offerings?

PAST SESSIONS:

We’re hoping to upload video from past sessions soon! Stay tuned.

Preparing to Perform!

Saturday, 2.8.25 @ 11am

Whether we have a studio recital, solo-and-ensemble festival, or a college audition – we all want to be our best when we perform!

SJSM-SPCM Faculty discuss dealing with nerves, performance prep, and more. You can even employ these tips in-class and play for the group! (not required)

Practice, Practice, Practice!

Saturday, 1.11.25 @ 11am

Join our Artist-Faculty to talk about a thing some of us take for granted... HOW DO WE PRACTICE? Mindset, tips and tricks, and more... join us for a chat on maybe the most important topic for musicians young and old. Come prepared to listen, share, ask questions, and maybe try some things out!

This session is open to ALL but geared towards students 6th grade and older. Google Meet Link will be sent to all registered participants. Questions? Contact Brendon.
