St. Augustine Catholic Student Center Music Director Nansi Carroll was recently awarded a $4000 Yale alumniVentures Grant for community outreach through the Jubilus Music Festival.



The grant helped provide music education to local children and youth, pre-K through college-aged, with an emphasis on low-income, minority, disabled, and/or at-risk students, by offering improvisation workshops by Philadelphia's
Dithyramb Duo:  Tom Kraines, cello, and Cameron Britt, percussion.



The 2011 improvisation workshops were videorecorded in order to produce a music education DVD to be developed during the summer of 2011 and distributed to all local public and parochial elementary school music programs in the fall of 2011.






Workshops were provided for the following schools and organizations:





  • St. Patrick's Interparish School's 4-year-old VPK (the state-funded Voluntary PreKindergarten Education Program), which is free and open to all area residents.
