Reboot Your Everyday

Through a communal experience of habit-building exercises for 3 weeks,
this virtual academy will vitalize the daily routine of all participating Young Artists.

2021 VIRTUAL SUMMER ACADEMY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Every day starts with a light physical activity or a meditation session curated specially for musicians such as Eurythmics, Eldoa Technique, Pilates Stretch, and Saturday Yoga Sessions

  • Group Morning Practice Sessions: All Student AND faculty practice for 2 hours in the morning with a timer, and share a screen capture of their timer with a hashtag #20dayEncoreReboot. Each day the ENCORE team will present a fun task for participants—such as:

    • Practice one section slowly for at least 10 minutes and post before & after

    • Practice long tones for five minutes for excellent bow direction

    • Finish a #FingerSwagger etude exercise and post a short passage

  • A virtual lunchroom will be open every day for participating musicians to socialize.

  • Group Activities/Interactive Workshops in the evening: Fun, inspiring, or both, these evening activities bring students together for some #Orchdork #Musicnerd fun such as Scales & Etudes Workshop, Injury Prevention Workshop, Acting Workshop, Poetry Night, Musical Trivia, and more!

    • Nutrition Workshop for Musicians (VIRTUAL LUNCHROOM):

      • How to fuel good habits & practice routine through what you eat.
