The American Roots Music Program Faculty Stephen Wade Sharon Arms Matt Brown Peggy Browning Mary Flower Maria McCullough & Yahví Pichardo Aaron Smith Harry Tuft Dick Weissman Max Wolpert FACULTY & GUEST BIOS (in alphabetical order) Claudia Anderson Claudia Anderson is known for her originality and brilliance as a solo and chamber music performer across the U.S. She is a founding member of the innovative flute duo ZAWA! and of New Prairie Camerata, a chamber initiative that showcases a community's historical and architectural gems through performance and stimulates community participation. A Fulbright scholar to Italy, Ms. Anderson was subsequently principal flute of the Orchestra del Teatro Massimo in Palermo. She is presently principal flute with the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Symphony in Iowa, a guest artist and clinician at many colleges and music series around the country, and on the faculty of Grinnell College. She serves also as flute faculty and program director during the summers at Rocky Ridge Music Center (www.rockyridge.org). Equally at home in both the standard and contemporary repertoire, Dr. Anderson has commissioned and arranged works for solo and duo format and has moved into composition more recently. Writing about artistry in flute playing and chamber music as community is a current passion, as well as riding her Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. Other faculty positions have included the Universities of Iowa and Northern Iowa, Ithaca College, and the University of California at Santa Barbara. National Flute Association positions have included Coordinator for the Chamber Music Competition and adjudicator for HS Soloist, Young Artist, and Convention Performers Competitions. Claudia's artistic and pedagogical inspiration came from the following great artists who were her teachers: Severino Gazzelloni, Thomas Nyfenger, Geoffrey Gilbert, William Bennett, and Peter Lloyd. Her recorded solo and duo performances can be found on the Centaur, Neuma and CRI labels. Her solo CD, American Flute (Centaur, 1994), was awarded five stars from Classical Pulse. Duo CDs include ZAWA! (Neuma, 2001), ZAWA2 (ZawaMusic, 2006) and Duos for Flute and Oboe (Centaur, 2005). Sharon Arms Sharon Arms is a writer, singer, and student musician who spent 40+ years in the heart of South Louisiana's Cajun culture, much of that involved in the French music scene. With an M.A. in French from the University of LA at Lafayette, she has taught French and participated in cultural research, transcription and translation of song lyrics, and composition of new songs. She knew many of the Cajun and Creole old-timers who kept the music alive before the 80’s revival. With an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine, she has written books and articles for children and adults based in the bayou and prairie culture (published under her former married name Doucet). Her books include the tall tale Alligator Sue, adaptations of Creole folktales Lapin Plays Possum and Why Lapin's Ears Are Long, middle-grade historical novel Fiddle Fever, novel Back Before Dark, and Le Hoogie Boogie Songbook: Louisiana French Music for Kids. She now lives in the Colorado Rockies near Rocky Ridge Music Center. Marina Beretta-Hammond Marina and Fred Hammond made their debut as a duo in 1991 at the Fifth Latin American Music Festival in Caracas, Venezuela. Since then, they have been committed to promoting contemporary piano music. The Hammonds have given recitals and played with orchestra in the United States, Argentina, Venezuela, and Spain. In 2014, the duo released their CD, FireProof, sponsored by Indiana University and produced by the Latin American Music Center, Jacobs School of Music. The summer of 2017 will be the Hammonds’ 14th summer teaching at Rocky Ridge. Matt Brown Matt Brown was introduced to old-time music by his banjo-playing father, Tim, who encouraged him from an early age to play the fiddle. The family attended banjo gatherings and old-time music festivals, and hosted old-time jams and various folk music concerts in their home and in nearby venues. Matt studied classical violin with Linda Litwin and Richard Amoroso and began to play the fiddle formally under the tutelage of Palmer Loux. In his teens, he attended several immersive residential summer camps devoted to old-time music where he met and began to study with an array of extraordinary old-time musicians including Bruce Greene, Brad Leftwich, Bruce Molsky, Rayna Gellert, Kirk Sutphin, Garry Harrison, Rafe Stefanini, Paul Brown, Dirk Powell, Ginny Hawker, and Tracy Schwarz.
