Dr. Marta Blalock is a tour de force with this gaggle of four and five year olds as they grasp the beginning concepts of playing the violin. It is a 30 minute exploration into violin anatomy, discipline, note naming and rhythm structure. For you muso's out there - ever thought of 4 sixteenths and two eighths as "pepperoni pizza" pepperoni pizza" or how about introducing the triplet with "strawberry" "strawberry". Learning couldn't be more fun in this pint size class of little people expressing themselves with as much verve and abandon as they do in the playground.
Villa Musica is San Diego's center for community music education enabling people of all ages and backgrounds to discover, explore and enhance their music skills as part of a network of musicians and lovers of music.
Founded as a non-profit corporation in November 2005, Villa Musica is a vibrant gathering place where people can come together to take music lessons, play in an ensemble, or participate in a workshop.
Villa Musica's goal is to create a focal point for community music education in San Diego, where students and teachers can meet to exchange ideas and experience the joy of making music. By creating a supportive and creative environment for the study of music, we aim to inspire many San Diegans to embrace music making as part of their lives.
