| Residencies (Learning about music through music) Paradisa! promotes a wide array of residency programs catering to all audiences: young and mature, musical/non-musical, and small and large. Musical Performances Paradisa! carefully selects a 30-50 minute program, suited to the specific residency audience. (Musical variety options include jazz-influenced works, French composers, compositions by women, and more as seen on our "Programs" page.) This performance may be followed by an open-forum question and answer period. Masterclasses As an ensemble and/or individually I Want to Become a Better Musician, "Playing by the Rules, or Not" Participants will gain a heightened understanding of their performance instrument. They will learn about great practice techniques, improved sight-reading skills, period-specific performance practices, musical styles and historical background information, musical interpretation, and much more! Being a Musician in the New Millennium What does it take to be a successful artist in the 2000+ age? Learn about marketing yourself as a musician, becoming a well-rounded, versatile, hirable musician, and typical days in the life of free-lance musicians. What is Chamber Music - can this relationship be saved? How do chamber musicians work/create music together? How do we communicate? Participants will learn about group dynamics, productivity, business, organization, and division of labor amongst members. Let's Go To the Movies! Create a new musical twist to cartoon/film clips. Add your own musical choices based on the plot of the clip. Paradisa! demonstrates how musical moods may alter the viewers' overall perception (foreboding, intensity, fright, humour, melancholy and others). Paradisa! will then perform live as the movie rolls!
