Musical director Richard Quarless, second from right in front row with his team of tutors, Wilby Benicourt, Kenroy Richardson, Clyde Mitchell, Von Best and Wayne Noel at The Birdsong Academy, St Augustine.
C-AEOLIAN stood out on the board. Phrygian Dominant and C-Dominant pentatonic scales are phrases that might be unfamiliar to everyday people but to the students of the Birdsong academy that is everyday language.
In the corner of the dimly-lit, air-conditioned room, the keyboards and music stands stood as if eagerly awaiting their players.
The academy will be hosting its annual vacation camp, which gives children the chance to learn music on a variety of instruments including pan. Auditions for the camp were held on May 30 and 31. But the camp will be held from July 9 to August 16 at its Old Works Department, Agostini Street, St Augustine location. It hosts children from ten to 18 years.
