Hey everyone!
I am currently taking a class that requires me to do a final project within a multicultural class in the community. The school I’ve been working with is Bryant Middle School in Salt Lake City with their music department. I have been working with the jazz band, beginner bands and orchestra. For my project I had to come up with something that I feel would benefit the students. I have come up with three different parts of the project.
- The first part of the project is to create brochures for the students. These brochures would contain a compiled list of cool tips to fix/repair instruments, instrument care, playing technique tips, etc. I have to complete this project by Sunday night, so any input ASAP would be greatly appreciated.
- The second part of this project is to have a compiled list of live performances students can attend, types of music careers, and playing opportunities that would inspire Middle School students to remain in music program.
- The last part of this project is to have collegiate students come to Bryant Middle School with me on Monday (April 25). The ideal time would be 10 am for their beginner band, although 9:30 could also work if more people could come. This would be the jazz band. For this part of the project, I would like to have the collegiate students demonstrate playing, have an instrument petting zoo, show how to repair instruments, and have a question and answer session.
The instruments that I specifically need are: Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone/Tuba, Strings and Percussion (specifically drum kit). These are the instruments that the band members play, but all instrument input is definitely accepted!
I know this is very short notice, but with a lack of efficient communication between my teachers and I it has kind of come down to the wire. If anybody has tips, that would be great! Feel free to comment on here, e-mail me, text me, call, me, anything. The brochures need to be completed by Sunday night. If anybody would be interested in coming to the school with me on Monday, that would be fantastic! The sooner you can let me know, the better. Thanks so much!!!
