uKnighted through Music, Episcopal Musicians Showcase their Talents

11/30/2017

“You make the music to share the music.”
​

Band Director Paul Taranto and the gold jazz band shared their musical talents at the annual jazz-on-the-deck concert this week.   The 10th, 11th and 12th graders played a range of songs featuring several soloists and a strong ensemble sound.

Taranto says performing music is all about fun and that was definitely the case on the deck.  As the older students were hitting the high notes and keeping the beat, the patio was filled with students from Lower School.  The youngsters enjoyed dancing, snapping and clapping along.  Where else but at a school that educates students from preK-3 to 12th grade could this happen?
This week’s performance is just one example of how the band is sharing their music with others.  Since August they have also delighted audiences at St Luke’s, Trinity, Dufroq Elementary and Episcopal’s Lower School during morning meeting.   In addition to touring, the students even made a group recording at Cedar Park recording studio.  

Several Episcopal performers are finding additional ways to share their love of music.  Kenny Schaffer, who hopes to someday become a composer, wrote an original composition over the summer.  Laura Kurtz arranged a pop tune for a jazz ensemble.  Lauren Smith was accepted as a member of the Louisiana Youth Orchestra on oboe for the second year running.

The band department will wrap up its performance season next week with their annual Christmas concert featuring Christmas favorites played by the sixth grade beginners, the seventh grade advanced students and the Upper School Wind Ensemble.   We invite you to attend their concert as well as a seasonal performance by the choir.

My son's participation in the band programs at Episcopal. Paul Taranto not only teaches them how to play but shows them why you love music. See Louie the Bari Sax player for an example of a kid who will always love all kinds of music
