That's more of a cabaret venue. Tweiten said he focused on jazz, folk, classical and contemporary music. I wanted to expose them to different types of music. I wanted to get them to realize the music has to come from inside them. Another medium Tweiten used to let his students express themselves musically was as costumed carolers during the holiday season.
People really enjoy that.
Holiday shoppers who are normally in a hurry, stop and listen to the carolers. It has a hypnotic effect on them. There is nothing more enjoyable than to hear a person's voice develop. While his last official day of teaching is Friday, it is likely the things he's left with his students will endure long after he is gone. Music is a great release.
