W H E N I T C OM E S T O A S S E S S M E N T, W E W R O T E T H E B O OK . L I T E R A L LY. Back in 2002, MusicFirst Director, Dr. Jim Frankel, published his doctoral dissertation on web-based music education assessment. Jim’s ground-breaking study was the first-ever attempt at expanding the capabilities of online assessment. The study showed that online assessment was not only a viable option for large-scale assessment for music students; it also predicted that online assessment would be the norm in the future. Now we’ve transformed that knowledge into an entire platform focused on teaching and assessing music. At MusicFirst, we provide the best way for band, chorus and orchestra directors to assess students at any level—from a single class, to an entire district. Get up and running quickly with built-in tests, then customize them as you like. And of course, MusicFirst automatically compiles grades, portfolios, and progress reports for every student. REQUEST A DEMO TODAY AT MUSICFIRST.COM With MusicFirst it’s simple to teach and assess your students in a connected world. Find out more at www.musicfirst.com

Features include: A gradebook and portfolio to easily track student work A turnkey, customizable test generator Easy test and assessment scheduling Individualized digital portfolios, including an option to record every student’s performances Customized website for each school Optional red note/green note performance assessment for your band, chorus and orchestra students

Canadian BRass

Performing Ensemble With an international reputation and following, Canadian Brass has truly earned the distinction of “the world’s most famous brass group.” Friends Chuck Daellenbach and Gene Watts came together in 1970 to form a brass quintet. Initially, Watts developed new repertoire while Daellenbach handled marketing, publishing and managing the business. Three empty chairs were quickly filled and together, the group’s imagination and consummate musicianship elevated the art of the brass quintet to what it is today. Masters of concert presentations, Canadian Brass has developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences. Each of their concerts shows the full range from trademark Baroque and Dixieland tunes to new compositions and arrangements created especially for them. The hallmark of any Canadian Brass performance is entertainment, spontaneity, virtuosity and, most of all, fun – but never at the expense of the music. Whatever the style, the music is central and performed with utmost dedication, skill and excellence. In conjunction with the Hal Leonard Corporation, the Canadian Brass have made available their extensive library of brass music for performers of all levels as well as learning tools. Since 1998 Canadian Brass has been a recording artist at Opening Day Entertainment Group [Odeg] (distributed by IDLA) releasing over 25 CDs on the imprint to date. Canadian Brass is: founding member Chuck Daellenbach (tuba), Christopher Coletti and Caleb Hudson (trumpets), Achilles Liarmakopoulos (trombone) and Bernhard Scully (horn). Canadian Brass is represented by IMG Artists in New York. 44

Alpha BRass

Alpha Brass

Alpha Brass is a music ministry of the First United Methodist Church, Anderson. It began in the fall of 2009. It started because of a good number of trained musicians who played brass instruments that belonged to the congregation. Since then, they have invited friends who wanted an opportunity to play the best of brass choir and brass band music from the traditional British Band style. A good deal of the Alpha Brass’ music is pulled from the Salvation Army music libraries.

Mark Finger – Conductor

Mark Finger is the founding conductor of Alpha Brass. He was a high school band director for nineteen years before going into school administration in 1995. He retired in 2009 as the principal of Highland High School in Anderson, Indiana.
