The Healing Power of Music – A Day of Fun and Transformation!
Mar

The Healing Power of Music – A Day of Fun and Transformation!

A Day of FUN and Transformation!

Join us for a day of Empowered Music and wellness with Mike Deaton!
TWO workshops to choose from, or attend both at a discount when you book before 3/10.

Space is limited. Instruments will be provided. Beginners warmly welcomed!

Workshop 1: Put More PLAY in Your Day

2:00pm - 3:30pm

Join us for a FUN afternoon of hands-on music-making, movement, connections, and absurdity! Music is our birthright. Discover the joys of playing like a child, where the goal is enJOYment and there are no wrong notes. No musical experience is required. Percussion and tuned instruments from around the world will be provided, but all instruments are welcome, if you’d like to bring any for your own personal use.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or a professional musician, this is a great opportunity to deepen your own understanding of music and explore what is possible when we return to a time where we could just PLAY.

Workshop 2: Receiving: A Gong Concert and Sound Meditation Session

4:00pm - 5:30pm

Make time to create a space for listening, resonance, and rest. Come together in a different kind of listening experience where time and the chattering mind can step aside. Rejuvenate with the sounds of large gongs, bowls, exquisite chimes and more. 

Multi-instrumentalist and interdisciplinary facilitator Mike Deaton shares expansive soundscapes of intentional vibrations that draw from traditional and personal practices of connection, positive transformation, rest, meditation, and self-healing. There is no formal meditation practice, only a simple invitation as the music begins.

You may want to bring a yoga mat or blanket and reusable water bottle. Arrive comfortably!

Call 717-458-0823 or email empoweredmusicpa@gmail.com for more information.

David Glasgow's Matinee Cabaret - February

David Glasgow's Matinee Cabaret - February

Performers know the work of getting a song ready for the stage can feel like a never-ending journey. But the irony is that, if we do that work well, to our audience it can seem like the music “just happens.”

What would happen if those two perspectives were to converge—performers and audience members exploring together what makes a performance powerful, and learning together how to love music from both sides of the mic?

Area voice students join singer/pianist/actor/director David M. Glasgow, multi-instrumentalist Dani Fiore, and bassist Allen Roth to create just that magical convergence at Empowered Music on the first Saturday of every month—and we'd love for YOU to join the conversation as an audience participant! (Plus, we have snacks!)

Please visit davidmglasgow.com/cabaret to pre-register for any session, or to read more!

Grand Open House Jam!
Oct

Grand Open House Jam!

Our Grand Open House Jam will be held on Sunday, October 1, 2023 from 2-5 pm at Empowered Music (3327 Market St. Camp Hill). This casual gathering will be a time to introduce ourselves to the community, speak with new prospective students, and invite the neighborhood to enjoy a casual outdoor hangout with light refreshments and live music.

Enjoy student performances and bring your instrument to jump in to a live open jam afterwards!

As we all know, it takes a village to throw a good party and we’d love to have your help. We are looking for assistance with a variety of donations including food/drinks/time. A pop up tent or two would be helpful. We are also planning a bake sale, so if you’re ready to blow the dust off your Grammy’s famous apple cobbler recipe for a good cause, we’d be interested in your support, too! All proceeds will go toward growing Empowered Music and increasing opportunities for students.

If you’re able to donate provisions, assist with the event, or show your support by attending, please RSVP and/or sign up by clicking on the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0849AFAE2EA1F4C70-empowered and filling out the form.

Opening Empowered Music Education has been a Herculean task in a brief period of time. It has only been possible because of the dedication you have shown to yours or your child’s musical education. We, the teachers, thank you all for coming on this journey of becoming empowered musicians with us.

Now, let’s jam!

(The event will be held mostly outside so bring a lawn chair/camp chair if you’re able).
