NJCU to Host Summer 2021 Multi-Style String Educators Symposium
JERSEY CITY, N.J. | New Jersey City University (NJCU)’s Division of Professional Education and Lifelong Learning (PELL) is partnering with the Music, Dance and Theatre (MDT) Department and its acclaimed faculty to host a Summer 2021 Multi-Style String Educators Symposium.
The four-day event will be held Monday, July 26 through Thursday, July 29, each day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“Play ahead of the curve!” is the slogan of Martha Mooke, renown electro-acoustic violist, Yamaha Leading string artist and founder of NJCU’s groundbreaking Multi-Style Strings Program.
Martha Mooke will be joined by some of the world’s leading Multi-Style String virtuosos and educators including Regina Carter, Jeremy Kittel and Dave Eggar. The esteemed faculty will provide exclusive, in-person instruction to the participants.
“Playing and teaching Multi-Styles is the future of Music Education” says Mooke, “and these educators will have a unique and exciting opportunity to garner hands-on experience exploring the field’s growing repertoire — which includes jazz, Latin, R&B, blues, African, Celtic, bluegrass, folk, and rock — and non-traditional techniques, multiple approaches to improvisation and incorporating technology.”
The event will be held in person following strict COVID-19 protocols, but those who wish to attend virtually will have that option. Certificates of completion with 20 professional development hours will be awarded and string educators unable to attend the in-person event will have the opportunity to audit the course virtually.

The deadline to register is June 1, 2021 and space is limited for this exceptional opportunity.
