Robotics Camp
Exciting, hands-on course provides an in-depth
look at designing and building robots and the
various sciences and technologies involved in
this fascinating subject. Various robot types and systems studied, including VEX, Lego Mindstorms NXT, and A-robot.
Start by assembling simple robots to gain a
basic understanding of motors, gears,
locomotion, and power systems, and learn how to follow step-by-step instructions, troubleshoot
problems and use various tools.
Construct more complex
robots involving sensors, motors, remote
control and custom programming in BASIC, NXT-G, NXC, C, Java, etc.
Design robots to solve real-world challenges using analysis and constructive brainstorming techniques. Learn how to create and set up testing environments for accurate simulations, and document your creations.
This course is great for beginners as well as experienced robot builders. If you have attended other robotics courses or own your own VEX or Mindstorms NXT kit and want to push the envelope with more advanced designs, custom programming, and even learning how to safely interface custom built circuits and build homebrew sensor implementations, then this is the course for you!
Practical hands-on application of electronic engineering principles and concepts: Construct electronic circuits to perform numerous
experiments with light, sound and motion to
learn about transformers, relays, generators,
solar power, displays, transistors, diodes,
series/parallel circuits, radios, resistance, capacitance
and semiconductors.
Delve into software engineering principles and concepts: More advanced students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of C-language, used for programming the VEX and advanced Mindstorms NXT (NBC and NXC languages) and Java.
Attendees may have the opportunity to join our FIRST Lego League team for the September to January competition season.
This is simply the most thorough and advanced course you will find. Join our experienced instructor with extensive
HW/SW background, assisted by robotics team
members from UC Berkeley and Lynbrook High Robotics Champions!

Ballet I – Beginning Ballet. 1 Hour
This class is for those without prior Ballet technique or Ballet training, desiring to master the fundamentals of Ballet. Class will cover the basics of Ballet and prerequisites to actual dance, including the various Ballet Positions: Plies, Tendus, Passes, Frappes, etc., as well as supporting exercises and stretches.
The hour-long class begins with a 10–15 minute warm-up session where each major muscle group and all major joints throughout the entire body are stretched and engaged. After warm-up, students begin a more intensive 30-minute training session, emphasizing the essentials of Ballet Technique and appreciation of the poise, grace, attitude, and drama associated with Ballet as well as of the lyrical rhythm of the music guiding their every Ballet move.
During the final 15 minutes of the class, students are asked to leave the bar area and dance in the center of the studio in order to practice balance without the use of the bar. Depending on the level of students in the class at the time, an Adagio (small ballet choreography dance piece), Pirouettes and/or Jumps will be the main focus. The class ends with a graceful bow to oneself, to one another, and to the teacher.
Ballet II – Intermediate Ballet. 1 Hour
This class is for those who have undergone some ballet training in the past, and are familiar with all the basic techniques, positions, and Ballet terms associated with each and every Ballet movement. At a minimum, students should possess a good understanding of a “turn out”, including from whence it originates, its proper execution and why it is so important in Ballet.
The class begins with a brief 10-minute warm-up wherein all major muscle groups and joints throughout the body are stretched and engaged. Students then stand by the Ballet Barre for a 35-minute workout aimed at perfecting each of the Ballet Techniques required of an intermediate-level Ballet Dancer. Here the primary focus is on the development and strengthening of the various muscle groups and on enhancing appreciation for the various Ballet movements. knowledge to fully grasp and acquire, students take this class to build onto what they already know.
After 35 minutes of Ballet training, students will be asked to move into the center of the studio to begin perfecting their balancing techniques. During this 15 minute session, depending on the level of students taking the class at the time, students will either be learning a new Ballet Technique, going across the floor to do Jumps or Turns, or they will be given a short Adagio to learn and perform for the remainder of the class. The class will end with a graceful bow to themselves, to each other and to the teacher.
Jazz/ Hip-Hop I – Beginning Jazz/ Hip-Hop Dance. 1 Hour
This is a dance class teaching students how to dance, whether the dance may be Hip-Hop style or Jazz style. Jazz dance is a style of dance that covers ALL styles of dancing whether they may be Hip-Hop, Modern, or even lyrical Ballet. Hip-Hop, on the other hand, only covers street dance where the movements and music selected are limited to those of street funky style.
There are no dance training required for students taking this class. Each class will begin with a few sets of warm-up exercises where each student will be asked to engage-in and warm-up various sections of the student’s body. The primary focus during these sets of exercises is to stretch and tone that specific part of the body area in which the exercise set is targeting, whether that area may be the legs, calves, hamstrings, arms, hips, thighs, back and etc. These sets are guided by street music in the back-ground to drive the tempo of these exercises, thereby also engaging the student’s sense of rhythm. Since learning how to dance, regardless of style, requires the understanding of Ballet techniques, these sets may contain Ballet Techniques so as to help facilitate the student’s stretching and toning motivation and thus, capabilities. After 40 minutes of stretching and toning, students will be taught how to do Turns and Jumps for approximately 10 minutes.
For the last 10-15 minutes of the class, students will be asked to learn and perform a short choreographed dance piece, either in Hip-Hop or in Jazz style.

The Calder Academy of Music curriculum includes a variety of classes and individual instruction covering a complete musicianship education and development for levels ranging from beginning to very advanced, and designed for the very earliest ages through adult. Our programs are designed to provide a systematic and comprehensive plan for the development of performance skill, technique, ear-training and sight-reading skills, and understanding of music theory.
Individual Lessons
Our individual (one-on-one) classes include beginning, intermediate and advanced instruction for ages three to adult for piano, voice, violin, viola, violoncello, guitar, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, timpani, theory, harmony, composition, counterpoint and orchestration.
We do not offer instrumental group lessons, such as group piano, violin, etc., as these settings can not provide the student with the necessary individual attention for the correct execution and achievement of many of the fundamentals, such as posture, hand position, touch, tone production, rhythm, etc.
Introduction to Calder Academy The cultural centers in Europe and the East
coast of the United States are dotted with numerous institutions of renown which
are devoted to music and arts development, performance and education. Despite a
high popular interest, the West Coast offers few choices to those demanding a
thorough music and arts education of the highest quality. Apart from a few
notable exceptions, most universities offer only a mediocre arts program, and
most private institutions only provide specialized instruction of varying degrees
of quality for a particular instrument, wherein emphasis is placed upon
more-easily-measured aspects, such as performance, rather than overall
musicianship and musical
comprehension.
The Calder Academy of Music was
established upon a philosophy and goal of assisting students attain excellence
in musicianship & other artistic pursuits through inspiration, understanding,
character development and discipline. Our Academic Enrichment programs broaden
this vision to cover a variety of other subjects and studies as well.
Our
faculty comprises musicians and teachers skilled in various methods applicable
to students of all levels and ages, and includes graduates from many of the major
conservatories and universities throughout the world. We require dedication to
constant self-improvement of each faculty member as we feel that excellence in
teaching is an on-going process of learning and of embracing greater and greater
challenges. In this way only can we challenge and inspire the minds and spirits
of our students to demand excellence of
themselves.
Over the past several years,
the Calder Academy of Music has been pleased to contribute to the musical
and cultural education of hundreds of youths and adults of the Silicon Valley
and lower San Francisco Bay Area communities. The Academy, with an active
current enrollment of more than 300 students, has an exceptional faculty of
noteworthy teachers, musicians and artists, specializing in teaching all
levels of Western and Chinese performing arts, with an emphasis on Western
classical and Chinese classical music.
As part of our "East Meets West" project and other ongoing American and Asian musical and cultural exchange programs, and at the invitation of local Chinese governments, the Academy sends a contingent of talented students to Beijing, Shanghai and other Chinese cities each summer to learn about China and to take part in performances and presentations introducing Chinese youth to aspects of American music, art and culture.
Supported by the universal nature of the music and art we teach, we are able to continually fulfill our purpose of enhancing understanding and appreciation of the various forms of creative expression born in the East and the West, and thereby inspire our students to strive for musical and artistic mastery. Being thus enriched by humanity"s cultural treasures of the past and present, they are empowered to develop the wealth within themselves and in their turn enrich the culture of the future.
Ludwig Calder Ludwig Calder Pianist, Ludwig Calder Masterclasses, Ludwig Calder Teacher Pianist Ludwig Calder
Piano Scholar An accomplished pianist and composer like his father Philip, Ludwig was the first place winner in the 1994 US Open Music Competition. Born into a musical home, Ludwig studied under the tutelage of his father from the age of 6. His mother, Magdalena, is a soprano concert singer. At age 10, he was awarded a scholarship to the Boston Archdiocesan Choir School for boys in Cambridge, Mass. Under Theodore Marier, he received a thorough musical foundation, performing often at such places as Tanglewood, and soloing with Maestro Seiji Osawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His teens were spent in South America, where he studied with Conductor Marcus Pavan. Graduating later from Sydney University, he continued his musical scholarship in piano performance and pedagogy, receiving interpretive coaching with Santa Clara University music department chair Hans Boepple.
In 1987 Mr. Calder began providing instruction in piano performance, and music theory, harmony and history to a select number of students; a practice he continued throughout the years despite a demanding career in which he served as president of a software company and later as president and CEO of a nationwide managing general agency for insurance carriers.
Ludwig founded the Calder Academy of Music in 1997. In addition to his role as director, he also provides master classes, lectures and individual instruction, and directs/conducts various choral groups. Ludwig has recorded a video production and a CD of his father’s work, and as performed throughout North and South America, and in Russia and Asia. Recently, he gave live and televised performances in Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Nanjing, and other cities in China.

Philip Calder - biographical notes
Philip Calder composer of numerous works Philip Calder, composer of symphonies, composer of piano trio, piano sonata for two pianos, clarinet quintet, overture to the prophet elias, concerto, concerti, numerous works for orchestra, solo instrument and ensemble, string ensemble, double quartet, double string quartet, massive symphony, rhapsody concerto for violin and orchestra, based on chinese themes, butterfly lovers, yellow river concerto, piano concerto, composer in the line of Ludwig van beethoven, wolfgang amadeus mozart, johannes brahms, johann sebastian bach, franz schubert Composer and Music Scholar Philip Calder
Pianist and Scholar Philip Calder Born in Pittsfield, Mass., Philip Calder showed notable musical gifts at an early age, beginning piano at age seven and organ soon afterwards. His first composition was written at age eleven, and at thirteen he became the favored pupil of internationally-renowned composer and conductor, John Duffy, in theory, counterpoint, harmony, orchestration and conducting, and under whose tutelage he joined the famous Tanglewood Music Festival.
At the Julius Hartt Conservatory of Music, he studied keyboard artistry with chairman and piano master Leo Rewinski, later graduating in piano study and performance after attaining first place in the 1958 Conservatory Competition. Philip then went on to study organ with Ernest Nichols, highly regarded disciple of the legendary Virgil Fox.
Mr. Calder, eminent composer of numerous works for solo piano, instrumental ensemble and orchestra, has performed throughout the Western and Eastern Hemispheres as composer, pianist, organist and conductor, including featured appearances at Carnegie Hall and with the Metropolitan Opera. Recently, he has given live and televised performances of his works in various California venues as well as Asia. His works have been recorded at Columbia Records.
Calder As Composer
In the six years following the composition of his first piece at age eleven, Calder wrote hundreds of pieces. Later, he would consider these pieces to be “only of sentimental value,” serving but to bring him “closer to the first statement.” In the fall of 1959, he composed a sonata for oboe and piano, rapidly followed by four other piano solo and chamber works. It was at this time that, looking back and subjecting his body of works to an intense and impersonal scrutiny, he concluded that the oboe sonata would “mark the beginning,” bearing the distinction of being his Opus 1. With that, he destroyed his earlier work in its entirety, in the uncompromising thoroughness and unswerving dedication to the highest artistic standards which throughout the years and to this day have been characteristic of his creative musical output.
Calder, at the height and maturity of his creative power, has recently completed his Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Opus XIII, (subtitled: Concerto Rhapsody - "Reflections on China"), and is currently completing work on the third movement of his first symphony and a Fanfare for Brass and Percussion.
Calder, as a composer, remains aloof from trends and musical experiments. Rich in those attributes common in the music of the Greats, attributes which have withstood the test of time, his work is nevertheless anything but reactionary conservativism. What sets his music apart is the song-like beauty and universal appeal of his melodies, gracing a formidable architectural and artistic craftsmanship, in which an inventive and dramatic flair is combined with a marvelous ability to be at once grandiose and intimate. The Berkshire Eagle writes, “...Calder is regarded as a musical genius...” In the words of world-renowned composer, conductor, and founder of Meet the Composer, John Duffy, “Philip was a child prodigy, my foremost student. His love for and dedication to music is boundless... Few match his determination and deep musical gifts... His main assets are an unusual melodic gift, pastoral and lyric, combined with love of his work and tenacity.... I commend him on the highest level of musical craft and art.” To date, Calder has 13 opuses, which may well be considered to carry on where Johannes Brahms’ left off....
The Calder Academy Philosophy Music Study, Philosophy of Study behind becoming a concert pianist or just a very good amature Pianist, Musician, Violinist, Vocalist, or Composer Music Lessons, Studying Music and Our Philosophy, Piano Lessons, Voice Lessons, Violin Lessons Our teaching philosophy for adults is based on a strong conviction that “to teach” and “to learn” mean equally to be in constant quest, in constant process.
Our teaching philosophy for children is based on the strong belief that every child can and should learn music for the following reasons:
We believe that music is the language of emotions, and is charged with feelings and significance. It challenges our intellect, kindles our imagination, and enchants our senses.
We believe that all children are artists. The world for them is a thing of wonder. They invent stories and poems; they compose songs; they paint. Our goal is to help them retain this wonder, and develop the need to communicate their feelings through the Language of Music.
We believe that this language will also dramatically enhance the child’s abstract reasoning abilities – the most necessary skills for learning math and science, as recent scientific studies have shown. Plato once said, “Music is a more potent instrument that any other for education.”
We believe that teaching is a flexible, ever-changing and subtle process. That it is an art in which a good teacher-artist constantly searches for new approaches, new ideas, different pedagogical means. Our students are challenged to think critically, understand contexts, engage with learners, reflect and act. This requires dedication from both the teacher and the student, but we are rewarded with the joy of making music together, which keeps us moving forward toward our goal.
We believe that each one of our students is a complicated and wonderful world; each one a unique individual with special talents; and that all students have the potential to succeed in mastering the instrument. Thus, one of the cornerstones of our teaching philosophy is the task of creating a series of successes for our students through constant and sensible progress, and through active performance.
We don’t promise to create a concert artist from every student. We can say, however, as the instrument becomes a part of a students’ daily discipline, education and development, that his life will become more interesting, more rich, and more colorful. We believe our students will become better humans over all!

Music Theory This course for students in school grades 1 through 12 is designed to supplement instrumental and vocal training and to ensure that each student’s development and understanding of music theory is maintained at a level correlating to their performance skill.
The course is laid out in three levels, A, B, and C, comprising a structure that proceeds gradually from basic concepts up through more advanced material. Each class includes a section on Ear Training, Dictation, and Music History and Appreciation.
Students currently taking instrumental or vocal lessons are encouraged to enroll. Your individual instrumental or vocal lessons cover basic and applied music theory (music theory as it relates to your specific coursework and pieces), however these one-on-one classes are more costly, and as time is therefore at a premium, the class is designed to focus on the performance, technique and sight-reading skills for your medium rather than a thorough treatment of musical theory.
Royal Academy and Certificate of Merit Evaluations
This theory course offered by the Academy is specially designed to prepare the student for the written theory portion of the MTAC Certificate of Merit and the Royal Academy of Music certification. All students intending to register for the statewide MTAC Certificate of Merit evaluation or Royal Academy of Music evaluation are required to enroll and pass the course for the appropriate theory level as administered by the Academy.
Registration
Students wishing to attend the theory course should ask their teacher at the Academy to recommend the appropriate class:
A (Preparatory, Level I, II)
B (Level III, IV, V)

The Calder Academy of Music individual vocal classes are individually tailored to each student based upon his/her individual abilities, experience and interests. Our vocal instructors are experienced in accommodating all ages and all levels of vocal proficiency.
Our programs are designed to provide a systematic and comprehensive plan for the development of performance skill, technique, ear-training and sight-reading skills, and understanding of music theory.
The technical and stylistic basis of our vocal program is traditional classical and operatic, as the attainment of proficiency in these styles provides the most complete and thorough training. Depending on the age and interests of the student, the teacher will also explore a wide range of styles and techniques encompassing folk and popular repertoire (Disney, etc) to Broadway musicals, as well as Chinese art and folk songs.
Beginning students will work on self-consciousness, tone production and projection, breathing, legato singing, diction and musical accuracy. An ability to read music is not a pre-requisite, but is of course very helpful.
Advanced student instruction stresses the correction of individual vocal flaws, legato singing and solo-performance techniques with emphasis on the development of good musicianship.
