Dr. William Schimmel AAA Master Class and Concert Series: ‘Thinking Inside the Box’ - USAby Rob Howard |
 |
 Dr. William Schimmel will again be the moderator and curator for the 23rd annual American Accordionists' Association (AAA) Master Class and Concert Series (The Seminars) which take place, July 27 - 29, 2018 at the Tenri Cultural Institute, New York City. Master classes are daily, 3-5 pm, concerts daily, 7-9 pm. The 2018 Seminars will cover a wide range of topics and will focus on new methods of teaching – ‘Earteach’, ‘Eyeteach’ and ‘Duplex’ learning, as well as the study of various method books that have disappeared from the market. The aim is to re-discover some of the rich tradition and culture that may have been lost or discarded. There will also be an ‘Accordio/Dalcrose’ segment using ‘Movement’ and ‘Eurythmics’. Also, a seminar on ‘What it takes to survive as a New York Accordionist’ - applicable to any career planning anywhere. Dr. Schimmel has performed with most of the major symphony orchestras in America, and many chamber music groups in New York. Pop star colleagues range from Sting to Tom Waits, who has commented, “Bill Schimmel doesn't play the accordion, he is the accordion”. His many accomplishments include founding the ‘Tango Project’, teaching, leading master classes, composing, recording, and performing on movie soundtracks. The Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) has awarded Dr. Schimmel the distinguished merit award for the AAA Master Class and Concert Series as well as his contribution to the international accordion scene. He received the American Accordionists' Association (AAA) Distinguished Service Award for Fifty Years of Accordion activity and his work as Lecturer in Residence. He is listed in Who's Who in America and Great Minds of the 21st Century. Dr. Schimmel, and his wife, choreographer, director, filmmaker Micki Goodman co-founded and co-direct the Institute for Private Studies, a pluralistic think-tank. They have a 29 year old son, Michael, an accordionist and visual artist - and a Special Olympics gold medal winner.
