Director Reflects on His Tenure at Long Island Arts Camp
“Oh, I wish Usdan had existed for me,” Dale Lewis said, with both a sigh and a smile, in his office at the Long Island arts day camp, which is unusual in both its name and its offerings.
The sigh, no doubt, referred to his Usdan-less boyhood. The smile may well have been prompted by his role for more than three decades as the executive director of Usdan (pronounced YOOZ-dan, and named for one of the camp’s founders).

SmartMusic & Finale: A Program of Professional Development in Music Technology
Usdan presented "SmartMusic & Finale: A Program of Professional Development in Music Technology." The 5-day workshop took place from Monday, July 14 - Friday, July 18, 2014. Usdan’s workshop was taught by certified Finale clinician David Dolgon, and it covered the notation and composition program that is the industry standard in music notation software, enabling composers, arrangers, musicians, teachers, students and publishers to create, edit, audition, print and publish musical scores.
