  • Every Musician Begins with a Teacher, Whether Through Family, Friends, Or School
    Every musician begins with a teacher, whether through family, friends, or school. Some teachers and composers have formal training, others do not. In either case, they are a special kind of creative mentor. Dedicated instructors and music leaders have been found in Geneva’s schools, colleges, churches, music stores, social clubs and private studios. In 1920 W.A. Gracey wrote a song for Geneva. He also wrote a number of religious anthems which were published nationally by the John Church Company. Other local composers self-published their work. One of the legends is Geneva High School teacher Godfrey Brown. W.A. Gracey published The Geneva Times, led the Geneva Choral Society for many years, and wrote music. Along with arranging music, Bob Bardeen taught at all levels of the Geneva City School District. Jack Bullock arranged music for the Appleknockers and began the Gorham Pageant of Bands in 1960. Godfrey Brown was one of those people who gave of himself throughout his whole life and shared his talent with many, many people. - Joseph Donahue, manager of the Appleknockers Drum and Bugle Corps While Jack Bullock is remembered locally, his arrangements have probably been Godfrey Brown conducted the band, choruses, played in every school in the United orchestra, and assisted with musicals. He also led States.

  • Opening Remarks: Exploration And
    Cox: Opening Remarks OpeningREMARKS Exploration and Discovery s a parent, I look forward to finding out what will capture my daughter's interest next. At her A preschool graduation ceremony, her teachers predicted she'd be a veterinarian. Considering the mountain of stuffed animals taking over her room, her noticeable compassion for little creatures (both animals and classmates), her curiosity for things that live in the dirt, her relentless interest in our two real cats, and considerable talk about the need for a dog (despite all cat objections), I found their prediction convincing. Then again, like many children her age, my daughter loves to draw and color, look at books, build with Legos, sing, dance, and help make pancakes. How all this shakes out is everyone's guess, but I'm comfortable knowing she is an explorer on the path of discovery. For many of us, it's a welcomed moment when we discover something we like and seem to have a talent for it. And if we can turn it into a professional career, that's all the better. As you comb through this issue of Syracuse University Magazine, you'll come across many examples of people pursuing their passions . For instance, Professor Michael S. Cosgrove G'93, G'98 told me he'd planned on becoming a math teacher until a biology class in his senior year of college sparked an interest in that direction, leading him to the groundbreaking research he does today in the field of epigenetics. Turning to the music world, witness the success of Ra Ra Riot, whose members came together here on the Hill to share a like-minded musical vision that they're now spreading far and wide (check out the video of their recent Syracuse performance and other videos featured in our online edition at sumagazine.syr.edu).
