GOSPEL CHOIR

Gospel as a music genre hides countless beautiful and interesting harmonies, and when it is sung by the whole choir, the experience is unforgettable for both singers and listeners. Participation in the choir is not only a great pleasure, but also a great ear training workout. While harmonizing, we develop the so-called inner ear and become more aware of our instrument. We recommend such training both to soloists who want to develop their ear and to people who do not like solo performances, but want to develop their musical passions. Classes are held on Wednesdays from 19:30 and last 90 minutes. The choir will sing the repertoire only in English, because the classes are bilingual. The group is led by Anna Mazurek. Classes contain only educational elements.

First class is for free and if you like it join us for good!

BERKLEE

Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA) is a leading higher musical institution, highly regarded especially for its innovative approach to teaching. In the 50’s, Berklee was the first university to have introduced jazz classes to the curriculum and now continues to educate exceptional musicians and composers in jazz, film scoring, songwriting or musical production. Some of its notable alumni include Quincy Jones (1951), Diana Krall (1983), Lalah Hathaway (1994) or John Mayer (1998) and many other Grammy Award winners.

Our cooperation with Berklee means we offer a harmonized curriculum and receive educational assistance for Music Hub and allows us to invite our students to take part in an exceptional program for teenagers – Berklee Summer Program in Boston, USA.

MUSIC AND BRAIN

Research on brain functions has shown that various intellectual activities stimulate certain brain regions. Doing math tests activates part of the left hemisphere, whilst reading – part of the right hemisphere. Interestingly, listening to music has an effect on both of them. The real magic happens however, when we create and play music as all parts of both the hemispheres are fully stimulated. On top of that, the bridge between the two parts of the brain is then also active. This shows how great music can be for your brain. No wonder why – you need to coordinate two hands whilst adding an analytical element of reading notes and then transpose it onto your instrument. On top of that, one needs to perform the piece within the right rhythm and often show what emotions accompany that performance. There is no better exercise for our brain than playing a musical instrument! Cooperation of the two brains hemispheres is responsible for our creativity, which is the most scarce „item“ in our old-fashioned Polish educational system. Creativity is also what many future employers wish to see in their workforce. Whatever you wish to do in your professional life, approaching it creatively can only make it better! We invite you to Music Hub where training and activating your brain can be done in a fun and inspiring atmosphere!
