    EXPLORERS LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE OF SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY 10 FEDERAL STREET, SUITE 10, SALEM, MA 01970 (978) 744-0804 FALL SEMESTER 2020 The Explorers Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) is a member-directed learning group, one of over 400 such organizations in the United States and Canada that are affiliated with The Road Scholar Institute Network. Since 1992, seniors in the greater Salem community, mostly retirees with diverse backgrounds, have joined Explorers by paying a membership fee. Members and presenters join in active peer learning to share their knowledge and experience by creating, coordinating and participating in courses on a voluntary basis. We provide programs that are challenging, thought-provoking, sometimes controversial and frequently interactive. These vary in length from a day to a semester; range in format from lectures and discussions to hands-on workshops and field trips; and cover topics from the arts and sciences to current events and foreign affairs. Classes meet in rooms which range from small to auditorium-style accommodations. Some courses, designated “study groups,” require active participation of attendees, such as preparing information to share with the class. Classrooms are located on the first floor of the Explorers Center at 10 Federal Street in Salem. They are equipped with visual aids, audio equipment and lighting as requested by course leaders. The Explorers Lifelong Learning Institute offers two academic terms a year, beginning in September and March. ​Members may enroll in up to five courses per semester. ​Classes meet for two hours, either mornings or afternoons. Students and leaders often have lunch together between classes. Classes are held Monday through Thursday.

  • Interview: Derek Piotr File Under: Interview ​ ​
    http://bellairsia.blogspot.com/2018/07/interview-derek-piotr.html Sunday, July 1, 2018 Interview: Derek Piotr File under: interview ​ ​ If you’re looking for something to complement your reading why not select some of the sounds of Derek Piotr. He's an experimental musician - really a producer and composer - and recently shared his thoughts on being a life-long fan of John Bellairs’s books. Q: You called yourself an "experimental musician" - how would you explain that? A: "Experimental" is a really nasty shorthand to describe what I do. In reality I have a real ​ grudge against the word, in a sense: experimental implies that you maybe don't know where you're going with the work, and I do apply very specific vision to what I do. I work mainly with the voice, processing it in a digital way. This allows for some glitchy surprises which I suppose reinforces that there is some "experimenting", however, I generally find that I am guiding all of the ingredients towards a predetermined shape. I use found sounds a lot in my work, but this does not preclude the possibility of using instruments and other musicians as well. Q: How did you become interested in such a thing? Who or what are your influences? A: I was always involved in music since I was young, singing in the choir in elementary school ​ and later on taking clarinet. I began listening to pop records at the turn of the millennium, and many of them were definitely production/processing heavy. It gave me a sense of wonder and shortly thereafter I got my first music-making software and tried a little bit to emulate what I heard.

  • Notes for the John Bellairs Walk
    Notes for The John Bellairs Walk John Bellairs was born in Marshall, Michigan on January 17, 1938. He grew up in Marshall and both his parents and grandparents lived in Marshall as well. As a young boy he roamed its streets and knew it well. When he began writing books, he adapted many of its streets, buildings, and surroundings to fit his stories. Bellairs described Marshall, Michigan well when he had Lewis Barnavelt say in the book The House With a ​ Clock in Its Walls: ​ “To begin with, the town was marvelous. It was the sort of place he had always wanted to live in… It was full of tall, elaborately decorated old houses. Even the ordinary white­frame houses had things that made them seem different ­­ a stained­glass window or a bouquet of iron flowers on top of a cupola. And so many of the houses seemed to be hiding secrets.” The books listed below, written by John Bellairs or completed after his death by Brad Strickland, have frequent mention of Marshall, Michigan sites. You can find these titles in public libraries, school media centers, and book stores. as “New Zebedee, Michigan” in the Lewis Barnavelt books: The House With a Clock in Its Walls (1973) ​ The Figure in the Shadows (1975) ​ The Letter, the Witch, and the Ring (1976) ​ The Vengeance of the Witch­finder (1993) ­ Bellairs/Strickland ​ The Ghost in the Mirror (1993) ­ Bellairs/Strickland ​ The Doom of the Haunted Opera (1995) ­ Bellairs/Strickland ​ The Specter of the Magician’s Museum (1998) ­ Brad Strickland ​ The Beast Under the Wizard’s Bridge (2000) ­ Brad Strickland
