Workshops and Private Lessons

PMPM supports the ideals that the arts enriches and enhances educational and social practices, and encourages students to make positive decisions with an arts lens (specifically making music choices that do not degrade gender/cultures/race/religion; use excessive profanity; or encourage violence). The music and arts instruction and mentoring workshops are geared towards performing arts students (primarily in middle school, high school and college).

All GRADE levels are welcome

“Positive Music for Positive Minds (PMPM) [Ready to Rock, Swing & Jam]!” was developed by Lori Williams and commissioned by the Wolf Trap Foundation in 2016. PMPM’s purpose is to present a performance / mentoring workshop for students (primarily in grades 6-12) who have expressed an interest in the arts - music, art, drama, dance, and creative writing.

All workshop participants will learn about improvisation, theory, harmony, and performance techniques. Individualized coaching sessions will be offered by professional teaching artists. The workshop will allow for students to perform, showcase their work, and receive immediate, detailed feedback on a range of topics including technique, improvisation, rhythm, song interpretation, business tips, and more!

Participants will be involved in perceptive listening activities through self-directed performances, and receiving direct positive feedback (from the performer/audience perspective).

Participants will also learn about performing popular genres of music (with an emphasis on lyrical content and its impact, pitch, blend, harmony, rhythm and enunciation.) Some sight reading will be introduced.

Private voice (beginner and intermediate singing and vocal coaching) and beginner piano lessons are also offered by Lori Williams. Classes are offered via Zoom or in-home. The course offers students the ability to develop their musical skills in a fun, informative, and rewarding environment. “Grow and Glow” with Lori Williams today!
