SUMMARY:Dr. Catherine Rodland on The Art of Practicing for Confident\, Expr
 essive Performance
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWhether you are a concert artist\, church musician\, aspiri
 ng student\, or among the many who make music solely for one's own enjoyme
 nt\, the goal is the same: to learn music well\, interpret it deeply\, and
  perform it with confidence and grace. Dr. Catherine Rodland will share ap
 proaches that develop accuracy\, poise and expressiveness woven holistical
 ly from the beginning of the learning process. Join us to learn how slow p
 ractice\, fluid technique\, and musical gesture become the foundation towa
 rd confident\, expressive performance - and what that looks like in practi
 ce. The presentation will conclude with an opportunity to ask questions an
 d share insights together.\n\nCatherine Rodland\, whose playing has been d
 escribed as “transcendent” (The American Organist)\, is Artist in Resi
 dence at St. Olaf College. She graduated cum laude with departmental disti

 tional Organ Competition at the University of Michigan for which she recei
 ved first prize. She concertizes extensively throughout the United States
