SPECIAL INTEREST DAY Stage musicals have long been a source of some of the most well-known and lasting popular songs. This day explores how these hit songs spread from the stage into shared culture. Using sound, video and live demonstration/performance from the keyboard, examples range from Edwardian musical comedy and Broadway classics to the concert hall, jazz clubs and the pop charts. Such famous creators as Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Noel Gay, Lionel Bart, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim feature in this celebration of musical theatre on stage and beyond. In addition to audio and video playback through PowerPoint, a piano (acoustic or digital) for demonstration and performance is important.
Most of his work has revolved around helping people discover what is so fascinating and engaging in music and particularly in musical theatre and opera. His talks and lectures are all about sharing discoveries and passion, especially if there is a piano on hand for demonstrations. (Please click on the blue print above to continue reading)
