    The Art and Meaning of The Great American Songbook

Jerzy Sapieyevski is offering this exceptional presentation.
An experienced professor and an accomplished musician, he has taught a wide variety of over 8000 students and delivered programs to many organizations.

The presentation explores the timeless music created from 1930s to 1960s, considered to have shaped American consciousness.

"Live" music illustrations are inspiring and universally relevant. They show the emotional and intellectual impact of these time-honored songs, beloved by generations.

These informative and appealing performances are presented to various audiences, young and older - transcending cultural and social backgrounds. For some, it is a discovery and a means of self-awareness, for others it is nostalgia and for some - the "soundtrack of their lives".

"Illuminating!"

In Sapieyevski's Professor Emeritus appointment, American University states:

"An amazing 100% of students on Rate My Professor report that they would take the course again."

In addition, the following are unedited quotes selected from official evaluations of various offerings - each quote comes from a different attendee:

"I loved his class because of his presentation. He exceeded my expectations. I would take any course he taught!

I've been listening to music since I was a young girl. Based on this course, I will be able to appreciate all music on a higher level. The teacher is extraordinary.

Actually changed my way of thinking about life. It's been a really unusual and marvelous experience. Thanks, and please come back.

Astonishing, extraordinary learning experience.

An amazing presentation where "culture" and identity are understood through music, I hope my vote is double.

This class has been refreshingly different. I listen to music a lot and this course has inspired me to discover a new and more enjoyable way to listen. Mr. Sapieyevski gives his all. He has a great sense of humor. He is wonderful.

The instructor's enthusiasm was contagious and he involved the students beautifully no matter what their musical background (no easy task!).

Mr. Sapieyevski is a fabulous instructor. His passion and excitement for music alone is what made this class so special. When you combine this with his musical background and professional expertise, it makes for a most interesting, educational and joyful musical experience. I hope he will be encouraged to teach more classes.

Absolutely engaging personality. Huge surprise to find he is talented performer as well. Class was like finding a fortune inside a cookie. A wonderful addition. Thanks.

Please get him back! It was very enlightening, innovative and a breath of fresh air!

It was illuminating!++ // Instructor was extraordinary, stimulating, and energetic. One of the best I've ever had.

Wonderful, gifted teacher. Certainly hope he will return. Would take any of his courses.

I enjoyed the teacher tremendously. He is a great musician who inspired all of us in many ways that were unknown to us.

What a breath of fresh air! He is terrific with an interesting style (+ remarkable ability at the piano!).
