You can now expect more continuing education classes than ever before. That’s right! More topically–engaging, educational, hands–on, technical and fun classes offered on and off Shenandoah University’s main campus.
If you are looking for online classes for the workplace, medical field, personal enrichment, technology, job security, going green or certifications, we have them! Call today, 540-‐665-‐5442.
First time ever and…years in the making: We now have included classes through the Center for Lifelong Learning to coincide with Shenandoah University’s Conservatory shows and concerts. This special series called, “Listener’s Edge” will give you insight into the creative process behind these productions. First, take a class with the experts, who created, helped or produced these masterpieces. They will help you understand the concepts behind the productions. Then, attend an actual show or concert to see and hear these masterpieces.

Ghostwriters: Your Words, Their Stories Do you love to write? Do you have a natural writing talent, but don’t quite know what to do with it? You should consider ghostwriting. This is a great fit for people who love to write but don’t want the hassle of marketing, publishing, and promoting their work. Ghostwriting can be a highly lucrative vocation. Operating behind the scenes, ghostwriters flex their creative muscles and explore topics they might otherwise never consider.
If you’re interested in a craft that encompasses elements of theatricality, anonymity, and creativity, while getting paid to do what you love, this course is the place to start. Everyone has a story to tell but not everyone knows how to tell it; you can help.
You will learn the basics to jump-‐start your ghostwriting journey. You’ll learn what ghostwriting is, how the process works, and how to get started. Along with learning about the logistics and benefits of ghostwriting, you’ll receive instruction on drafting effective contracts and how to handle clients.

Some claim Winchester changed hands 72 times during the Civil War and this brings many Civil War buffs to the area to hear the stories and see if any battle scars remain. But are locals capitalizing on a myth and enhancing the tales for more modern needs and interests? What are the true facts about Winchester during these sad times and are there provable facts that show why Winchester can really claim fame as a suffering victim? And why is one of the best Union generals still despised by so many? Was he really that bad? Today, most claim Patsy Cline as Winchester’s most famous person of the 20th century. But why do many claim this a contested legacy? Mike Foreman will explore these stories and many more in a 4-‐week class on local history. Whether you want to learn more local history or you want to hear different views and opinions, it will be fun!

Sample, Professor Emeritus, Shenandoah University will present “An Abstract: Discovering and Embracing the Power of Service—Collaborative—Transformational Leadership” lecture to the area community.

Sketching & Painting the Landscape in Watercolor
In this class you will ease into the art of “en plein air” – a French phrase meaning simply, “in open air” -‐ painting. En plein air is air. Artists have painted en plein air for centuries, seeing it as a way to sharpen both their observation and painting. In this class, we’ll focus on the unique experience of painting “en plein air” – both the pleasures and the challenges.
On Saturday, we’ll spend most of the day outdoors, learning to use our sketchbooks as visual journals and accumulating a great deal of material that can be used in future studio paintings. From there we’ll move on to more ambitious paintings of the plein air landscape.
On Sunday, the focus will turn to using the sketches from our journals as the basis for studio paintings.
Each day will include a quick instructor demo or two, focused on the considerations of painting on location, especially subject selection and simplification.
Everyone will have plenty of time to work at his/her own pace, with much help, advice, direction and support from the instructor. We’ll end the days with a relaxed review of the day’s work. In between, the instructor will help to develop knowledge and skills in all facets of watercolor painting.
Your instructor, primarily self-‐taught, Tony Connor’s artistic education has been a process including both formal instruction and meandering exploration. A dedicated watercolorist for more than twenty years, he nevertheless works in a variety of other media –

a practice that both challenges and enhances creativity and artistic perspective. He has drawn and painted for all of his life and has always found the act of creation and making marks on paper totally absorbing.
Some experience in watercolors would be helpful. A material list will be given upon request by emailing [email protected].

Your instructor, Madeline MacNeil, Across the Atlantic, has performed at the O'Carolan Festival in Keadue, County Roscommon, Ireland; the Glasgow Festival of the Arts in Scotland; and for the Non such Dulcimer Gathering in East Norton, Leicestershire, England.
MacNeil thoroughly enjoys teaching beginners and will soon have you playing tunes old and new for your personal enjoyment.

Mr. Wagner has maintained a close affiliation with that orchestra and has also been a regular guest conductor of the Orquesta Sinfonica Venezuela, that country's national symphony orchestra, since 1998.
Wagner currently holds the position of associate professor of music at Shenandoah University where he leads several instrumental ensembles and is the music director of the school's yearly opera production.

Anatomy of a Musical by: Thomas Albert
Did you ever wonder which comes first: the music or the lyrics? Why do characters suddenly burst into song or dance? What’s going on down there in the orchestra pit, and backstage? How does a musical get produced? What makes a hit, or a flop? These questions, and more, are answered in three classes that focus on the musicals of Shenandoah Conservatory’s 2012-‐2013 theatre season.
Anatomy of a Musical: Sweet Charity CONT 112 CLL1 Thursday, September 27, 2012 Location: TBA. Time: 3-‐5 pm Through Broadway standards such as “Big Spender” and “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” we follow the life and foibles of Charity Valentine, eternal optimist and taxi dancer in a Times Square dance hall. The original 1966 production received nine Tony nominations, including best composer (Cy Coleman), best lyrics (Dorothy Fields), best-‐leading actress (Gwen Verdon). Bob Fosse won the Tony for best choreographer.
Anatomy of a Musical: The Spitfire Grill CONT 114 CLL1 Thursday, January 10, 2013 Time: 3-‐5 pm Location: Ruebush, 209
Based on a 1996 film of the same name, The Spitfire Grill tells the story of how Percy Talbott, just released from prison and thrust into the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin, finds a job, a home, and a new life. With book, music and lyrics by James Valcq & Fred Alley, the original 2001 Off-‐Broadway production won the Richard Rodgers Production Award. Its tuneful score, a mixture of country, folk and traditional Broadway ballads, was a critical and audience favorite. Garrett (Elise) Long, a 1991 alumna of Shenandoah Conservatory, created the role of Percy Talbot, and was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical.
Anatomy of a Musical: Into the Woods CONT 118 CLL1 Thursday, February 21, 2013 Time: 3-‐5 pm Location: Ruebush, 209
Four familiar Grimms’ fairy tales (Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel) are given an irreverent twist, and bound together with an original story about a childless baker and his wife. The characters all get what they want at the end of the first act, but the second act shows that actions have consequences, often disastrous. The 1988 show was nominated for ten Tonys, winning for best score (Stephen Sondheim), best book (James Lapine), and best leading actress (Joanna Gleason).
Your instructor, Tom Albert, holds the Charles B. Levitin Chair in Musical Theatre at Shenandoah Conservatory, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1974. He currently teaches courses in the history of American musical theatre and acting through song. He has served as music director and conductor for more than 120 musicals for the Conservatory and Shenandoah Summer Music Theatre, most recently for The Boy Friend, Assassins, The Who's Tommy, 9 to 5, and Grease. He has also composed incidental music for several Conservatory productions, including last year's Peer Gynt and Metamorphoses.
This is a wonderful first-‐time collaboration between the Center for Lifelong Learning and Shenandoah University’s Conservatory. Through these courses we are offering community classes full of inside information regarding pre-‐show preparations. You will be the person with “The Listener’s Edge.”
