Remembering Delaina Oberman
Remembering Delaina Oberman
Celebrating a Legacy with Old Friends and New Music For 36 years Delaina Oberman inspired students at the Flint School of Performing Arts to march to the beat of their own drum (though she often quipped that they are “percussionists, not drummers!”). And each of the young percussionists she mentored would agree that she taught them much more than music. She prepared them for the rhythm of life.
FSPA Concerto Competition Provides Lessons Beyond the Music
FSPA Concerto Competition Provides Lessons Beyond the Music
Performing as a soloist in front of an orchestra is the classical music equivalent of being a rock star. The Flint School of Performing Arts (FSPA) Concerto Competition is an opportunity for advanced music students (grades 9-12) to compete for the chance to (classically) rock out with the accompaniment of the Flint Youth Symphony Orchestra (FYSO).

Music Therapy
Music Therapy
The FSPA’s music therapy services are provided by board certified music therapists (MT-BC’s), all of whom have clinical experience using evidenced-based musical practices to address health. Using the science of how music affects the brain and other areas of the body, the music is used to address non-musical goals such as: cognitive, physical, social or emotional needs. Sessions may include: improvisation, songwriting, group instrument play, music and movement, and structured music listening. No musical experience is required for individuals receiving the music therapy! Sessions takes place at the Flint School of Performing Arts and nearby community schools/facilities. Sessions are available for adults and children both in individual and group sessions.
