NSAA Piano Theory/Composition Student to Release Original CD

Friday, October 15th, 2010

What Message Could a Wisconsin Teen Possibly Convey?

13 year old Stephanie Brill from Cedarburg, WI is SUPER excited to be releasing her first CD.    HEARTBROKEN JOKER is scheduled to be released at the beginning of November 2010. 

Stephanie has been working with NSAA instructor Angela Mack for several years on piano theory and songwriting.  The 10 original songs on this album are the hard work of several months of brainstorming, editing, composing and writing.   Eric Swanson of Grafton is packaging it all together as a final product.

The album contains a great combination of songs that are humorous, meaningful, instrumental, individual and societal.  Stephanie’s lyrics are highly unique, poetic and visual.  The piano accompaniment is equally and uniquely creative. 

Stephanie will be playing some of her piano instrumental music live at the Paramount Grille and Bakehouse in Grafton on Oct. 15 around 7pm.   Please stop by to see what the buzz about this young teen is about!

Stay tuned for more updates on this talented teen from Cedarburg, WI!

Catering the Arts to Your Location

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Perhaps you may not know that North Shore Academy of the Arts (NSAA) expands far beyond the reach of our Grafton facility.  Our instructors have been traveling to other cities for quite some time to bring PREMIER ARTS ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING in the visual, performing and literary arts. 

NSAA has brought fine visual and performing arts programming to Bayshore Town Center in Bayshore.  Our Stagekids directors have been traveling to the Hartford Schauer Center for several seasons putting on high quality productions.  Our instructors have taught music and drama in Pre-K facilities in Mequon and Germantown.   Our performers have performed in Cedarburg, Mequon and Bayshore for various key events.  We have gone into public  schools to present assemblies and have fulfilled the need for arts enrichment in a private Milwaukee high school.   We have worked with Nicolet and Homestead high schools. 

With the 10 year anniversary of NSAA, we expect to continue expanding to fulfill the need for high quality arts programming in Wisconsin.  We are excited to launch our 2010-11 season.  If you would like for us to join you at your facility, in your community, on site at your location please email info@northshoreacademyofthearts.org  attn: Sheri or Paula to discuss your specific arts needs.  For more on CATERING THE ARTS grab a brochure!

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

We are only weeks away from the first shovel hitting the ground for our Outdoor Classroom in Memory of Felix Boller!

We invite YOU to make your mark on this project by helping us raise the remaining funds through purchasing a brick (three sizes available: $50, $100, or $300) which can be engraved with the wording of your choice – making your personal mark – forever.  The bricks will be permanently installed in the brick patio area.  Buy a brick for yourself, your family or your company, give it as a gift or use it to honor a loved one.
