SUMMARY:How (and Why) Playing the Recorder in 3rd Grade Affected Your Entire Life
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 21 | 6:00 PMHub City VinylPresented by Jennifer Green-Flint \nDid you play the recorder in elementary school? You might be surprised how much that experience still matters. \nDr. Jennifer Green-Flint will lead us through an exploration of how your piercing rendition of “Hot Cross Buns” on your plastic recorder helped to create neuroplasticity in your brain\, and develop the skills of tolerating discordance and conscious listening. Using these dispositions as a base for increasing emotional intelligence and empathy\, we will focus on how ‘everything you really needed to know’ as an adult came from your recorder choir and not just your Kindergarten experience. \nA former professional ballerina whose career shifted after an injury\, Jennifer now specializes in organizational leadership and relational trust\, with a focus on how identity and workplace environments influence success. She serves as a leader for Shenandoah Conservatory and the Shenandoah Conservatory Arts Academy (both divisions of Shenandoah University)\, and as a strategic initiatives and leadership consultant for nonprofit organizations. Across her roles\, she balances ideas with research to guide decision-making\, improve performance\, and strengthen organizational outcomes. \nThis conversation is for anyone who has ever participated in the arts\, works with young people\, leads teams\, or simply wonders how small moments from childhood can echo across a lifetime. \nCome early\, grab a drink\, browse the records\, and settle in for a meaningful conversation in one of Hagerstown’s most unique spaces. \nReserve your spot: Admission is free\, but RSVP is required due to limited space. https://www.cognitoforms.com/MarylandSymphonyOrchestra1/LectureSeriesRegistrationApril2026?fbclid=IwY2xjawQSjExleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFFUklCUEVXVW91eHNtbDVqc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjdf3R0QAa2GDq6Yv0Jjdvj-YQri9Pz9tuOqJBeOLVpcu0WRphFN_E9wScRa_aem_jB9dvherzUNqV6Ibhoh9Rw#GQRM7BXuCmxxIGWUzzUoKgXz3XRcIY1QN_41XmRl42w$
