The construction (expansion) of the Ensemble Room, Group and Individual Instruction Rooms and Music Works! Experience Exihit Hall are implemented in order to generate income. Some of the specifics are ● Tuition students will be accepted in 2019: opening the school to tuition students (in addition to at-risk-youth target group) that will underwrite operations and administration ● Tourism and visitor experiences: the construction of the Group Instruction Room and Music Works! Experience will allow Alpha to build on similar but smaller scale experiences already in place. Small and medium size tourism operators in Kingston have been bringing visitors to Alpha for years and the Jamaica Tourist Board and Jamaica’s largest tour and transfer operators have expressed strong interest in engaging Alpha in cultural and visitor experiences with better facilities in place. ● Rental: The Group Instruction Room is an ideal space for band rehearsal and Alpha will rent the room to outside groups. ● Workshops and seminars: As a leader in music education, the Group Instruction Room will be a critical space for hosting special local and international guests educators and performers.

Lobo-Gilbert CSU Monterey Bay MPA Recording Technology Spring 2014 THE SWELL AND CRASH OF SKA’S FIRST WAVE: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF REGGAE'S PREDECESSORS IN THE EVOLUTION OF JAMAICAN MUSIC INTRODUCTION Ska music has always been a truly extraordinary genre. With a unique musical construct, the genre carries with it a deeply cultural, sociological, and historical livelihood which, unlike any other style, has adapted and changed through three clearly-defined regional and stylistic reigns of prominence. The music its self may have changed throughout the three “waves,” but its meaning, its message, and its themes have transcended its creation and two revivals with an unmatched adaptiveness to thrive in wildly varying regional and sociocultural climates.

  • AAAA Toronto Dinner Dance Press Release 2013
    Dinner Dance Press Release – October 2013 • Alpha Academy Alumnae Toronto Chapter is 34 years old and as part of this celebration – a dinner/dance dubbed a “Black & White affair” will be held at the Thornhill Community Centre for October 26th. Tickets can be had by e-mailing [email protected]. • Convent of Mercy Alpha started out as an orphanage in 1880 by the then Jessie Ripoll a Jamaican of mixed ancestry part French, part Portuguese and part black. It has been documented in Sister Bernadette Little’s book “She Did It Unto Me” that on May 1, 1880, Jessie Ripoll holding the hand of a little orphan girl walked up the path to the cottage on the property on South Camp Road of 40 acres and a cottage which she named “Alpha” purchased for 800 pounds sterling, monies provided from the pockets of Jessie, friends, and a stipend allowed by the Vicar as well as from Josephine Ximines and Louise Dugiol who later joined Jessie. These ladies were social workers committed to serving God through the work of the orphanage. • By 1863 things in the island of Jamaica had become so bad, former slaves getting adjusted to the new found freedom, rain spoiled crops, price of imported food especially of salted fish and grain on which the peasantry relied had risen steeply because of the civil war raging in the United States. So it is understandable that out of this grew orphans who had to fend for themselves. So when these three ladies started caring for these orphans they petitioned relief from the then Vicar Apostolic who approached the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland to form a congregation in Jamaica to which these ladies later entered and became nuns.

TILLMUTT July 2013 Copyright Randy O. Tillmutt 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The rich and internationally respected Jamaican music culture has been influenced by the system of music education that exists in the country. Public school and college level music education programs in particular have provided the opportunity for students to have an early exposure to music and to pursue a career in music. However, the multitude of opportunities to study and pursue music did not always exist in Jamaica. The goal of this study is to examine the history of music education in Jamaica with particular focus on such influences as British colonialism, the African Diaspora, Jamaican folk music and Jamaican popular music.

The exhibition is curated by french journalist and film director Sébastien Carayol and can be visited until August 26th. A chronological and historical panorama on Jamaican music is shown in eight cores, contemplating a political, social and cultural view, considering the island’s musical production as a guiding line of that history as well as the findings of the researches about the expansion of Jamaican music in Brazil - mainly in Maranhão, Bahia and São Paulo. The exhibition takes up the fifth floor of Sesc 24 de Maio, equivalent to 1,300m², and intends to show the Caribbean country, which is the birthplace one of the main musical and cultural styles of the second half of the twentieth century, beyond reggae and its major icon, Bob Marley. In this context, Jamaica, Jamaica! seeks to recollect part of history by means of looking at conflicts and postcolonial encounters which led to a unique and universal musical movement. To illustrate diversity and heritage, the show brings together photographs, album covers, musical instruments, leaflets, graphic material from street parties, documents, audios and images from private collections and institutions.
