Upstate Systema: Martial Arts for Kids
The Shannon Forest Enrichment Zone is adding Upstate Systema: Martial Arts for Kids to its after school offerings. The program is unlike common martial arts in that fighting is not the emphasis. The system focuses on making better people through a calm, focused and relaxed environment. Anger and fear are replaced with emotional control. Students will learn to breath, keep moving and remain poised.

Violin Lessons - Beginner to Advanced
Shannon has had a passion for music since as early as she can remember.
As a performer, Shannon had the opportunity to perform as a violin soloist with the LIYO orchestra tour to six countries in Southeast Asia. She has also performed with the Metropolitan Opera’s Opera in a Nutshell performance of La Boheme and Tosca at the Metropolitan Opera House as well as in Avery Fischer Hall, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. She also enjoyed performing with the Brooklyn Conservatory Orchestra while she resided in NYC.
Shannon has over a decade of teaching experience and has taken master classes with great pedagogues such as Itzhak Perlman and Ani Kavafian in the Starling-Delay symposium at the Julliard School. She loved teaching and decided to pursue studies in violin teaching methods. She graduated with her degree in String Pedagogy-Violin Principle from Bob Jones University. She taught the High School/Middle School music prep students at the college and also taught at the Bob Jones Elementary School during her internship. Her students have ranked in the top 3 in their school's music competition and 1st chair in orchestra. When she moved back to NY she also helped her students get top scores and awards in their NYSSMA adjudications.
Shannon now resides in Greenville, SC and hopes to share everything she has learned in her musical journey with her students here in hopes that they will share the joy of music with others!
