School Arts Project Grant

This residency: will provide the unique opportunity for community members to experience live professional instrumental music at the Copper Street Brass’s evening performance; will provide a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of techniques for band instruments which will supplement my classroom curriculum, and will increase each student’s understanding and skill in music through up-close and in-depth learning from professional performing musicians. The primary feedback will be from me, the students, and the community. The Copper Street Brass uses a survey, shared through Google Docs, for me (and other staff/volunteers) to complete after the residency. In addition, the audience will do a brief survey at the evening performance. The Copper Street Brass and I will also get verbal feedback from students in the classroom and from audience members at the concert. This feedback is an immediate and important reflection of the Copper Street Brass’s work in the classroom and on stage.
