Music Schools

By sharing lessons learned, arrangements, new compositions, and engagement methods (esp. games), CutTime is planting the seeds for practical, positive innovations in the classical music industry. We show students, faculty, and orchestras the basic and value-added tactics available to facilitate meaningful exchanges between “the fine arts” and “the real world.” Embracing the paradoxes of all things, CutTime is an attitude working both inside and outside of the box to reset their context and set positive standards for a whole community.

Potential for sustainability – I feel the opportunities this group and ensemble [CutTime Players] presents for the student body, social atmosphere of the performances, flexibility of performance venues and enjoyment of the repertoire should provide a sustainable performance medium for students of any collegiate grade level as well as any professional ensembles that stem from this organization. – Joseph Swift, MM Bassoon, University of Michigan

CutTime is the only artistic enterprise in the world dedicated to presenting symphonic reductions with 4-8 musicians; a pocket orchestra. To that end CutTime offers the same Menu of Services and catalog to music schools as to orchestras.

To learning institutions we add the following:

• Workshops on casual hosting, neo-romantic composing, and effective transcribing or arranging
• Lectures and discussions to imagine and design new services for classical music
• Lectures and discussions in paradigms and methods for effective relevance-making
• Lectures and discussions on design methods for audience participation with classical
• Workshop in Finale® software, shortcuts, and self-publishing standards
