HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Community Music School recently
held its Chamber Music Workshop and Beginners’ Orchestra Workshop annual summer camps
offered through the Community Music School.
Taught by Community Music School Director Jivka Duke and Sandy Doescher, a music
educator and a Southeastern alumna, the workshops offered students superb musical
expertise and decades of experience in music education and performance, Duke said.
“We had a marvelous group of talented young musicians at both workshops this
year. They were well prepared, eager to learn and performed an outstanding concert
at the end of the workshops week,” Duke said. “We hope to see all of them return for
the chamber music and orchestra workshops next summer.”
The workshops included private lessons, ensemble lessons, and master classes,
as well as music theory instruction. The students performed in a final concert at
the conclusion of the camps.
