art whether dabbling diving or all out.

Devoted the Colburn School offers classes in a myriad of artistic endeavors.

When it comes to the choral component Dr.

Mickhail Shtangrud takes the song in his heart and shares it with his vocal students.

The choir director since I was little.

That’s what I want to do.

And children’s choirs.

Maybe because of my experience in the big children’s choir of Moscow TV and radio.

I really like to do it.

I was very very excited to work with the kids.

I remember getting my first conducting job and just going oh my god it’s so amazing.

I’m just going to be able to do this in front of the teachers to me find my music.

I found it.

There it is.

Thank you.

First time when you look at them students and by the way that’s it’s not fixed right now so you could be a student in the future well.

You look at them and you go in.

It’s kind of awkward.

Very difficult pretend it is For me music is everything.

I live with.

I breath it I sing all the time my kids always taught me that you know when we go to school today just be normal.

Could you not show it there.

Sorry I don’t.

I don’t want to embarrass my kids yet but they do say it.

But back to music.

Yes.

Music is everything for me and I love it.

I think the fact that you can work with her young students to adults so very high level repertoire to repertoire that has to be built appealing for young kids.

But he does it with great repertoire.

I mean he really he doesn’t dumb it down like I think he really expects the most out of his students.

So he says he expects high quality no matter how old the student it which is really special ends and you will hide it.

OK.

And then we will sing sing for you to getting closer or farther away.

So I went to music school where you study violin piano you take choir so violin was my main instrument and I also sang in the choir.

I sang in the big children’s choir of Moscow State Radio and TV.

So it was a great group to be a part of.

You don’t want to sit and wait for you to come up in the next idea just because they think so quickly.

So yes I just try to keep up with them and just try to make it at least match their energy and their curiosity.

I feel that arts is just a basic need for humanity.

I think people don’t realize how much it surrounds their everyday lives and if we can nurture it on any level I think it’s wonderful they should really love it.

So I think that’s number one thing that would I want them to to feel is that they love singing and their passion.

And so hopefully that’s what we accomplish sure that they learn to sing.

And also the love you can love.

Music is everything.

I really think that music is so basic.

It’s like you know talking it’s like you know loving it’s it’s part of who we are.

So I think music is absolutely a part of the human good song.

They tell it.
