ouldn’t it be wonderful if the students in our schools were exposed to five minutes of classical music every day? We’ve all seen the clinical studies touting the benefits of listening to and performing music, and now the New Bedford (Mass.) Symphony Orchestra has set up an interesting program called “Music in the Mornings,” which provides “five minutes of famous compositions at the start of every academic day,” according to a report on the Web site SouthCoastToday.com. The intriguing aspect of this program is that the students in grades 2 through 6 hear the same five-minute music clip each day for five days, but the dialogue is changed daily to direct the listener’s attention to different aspects of the repertoire. There are 36 different compositions introduced to the students throughout the school year, helping them gain exposure to a wide variety of music from different periods and composers, including Mozart, Bach, Stravinsky, and others. It’s easy to imagine the kids picking their favorites, talking with other students about them, and perhaps even asking their parents to buy the pieces on iTunes.

The benefits to this unique program are multifold, as it not “A bit more knowlonly helps the children, but also aids the orchestra. Students edge, understanding, have a brief respite from their normal day and their attention is and appreciation for redirected to the musical performance. It may calm them and music could mean a help them focus on the music as well as the other tasks ahead for the day. Additionally, studies have shown that an education more rounded and in music and exposure to classical music may help to foster betsuccessful student.” ter academic scores on a variety of standardized tests.

For the orchestra there are increased revenue opportunities and visibility, as the ensemble is compensated $3,000 for each school that signs up for this five-year program. They currently have over 32 schools signed up for this program with the New Bedford orchestra, so the total revenue figure is currently $96,000. “Music in the Mornings” has been launched nationally with a variety of orchestras and currently has over 2,000 schools involved. This is certainly a very important stream of capital for orchestras, especially during these times of decreased ticket sales and reduced grants and subsidies from the business community. It is easy to see the benefits of selling this subscription to a wider audience by a variety of orchestras nationwide.

In a previous editorial, I wrote about a director who simply played a CD of music as his students were filing into the band room in order to expose them to different styles and compositions. The program from the New Bedford Symphony is geared more toward a younger audience, although the concept could certainly be adapted to the middle- or highschool student, and also could be set up to include different forms of classical, jazz, opera, or serious contemporary music.

Just a bit more knowledge, understanding, and appreciation for music could mean a more rounded and successful student and help to increase future audiences for orchestral music performance. You can find more information on this program at: www.nbsymphony.org/ed_outreach.html.

NAMM Foundation Seeks ‘Best Music Ed Communities’

W

here are the best communities for music education? The ninth annual “Best Communities for Music Education” (BCME) survey, sponsored by the NAMM Foundation, is searching for school districts that support music education and include music education offerings as part of a complete education for all students.

The NAMM Foundation is currently accepting online submissions, and will remain open through early March. The survey, which can be completed by visiting the NAMM Foundation online, is open to anyone — parents, teachers, school administrators, community members — who wishes to enter information about their school and community.

The Best Communities effort surveys a community’s actions and commitment to music through criteria that includes budget, staffing, variety of programs, instructor certification, availability of private instruction, and other relevant items.

The results are measured proportionally, so that communities of different sizes are compared equally.

The survey’s supporters encourage school district or community members to complete the survey themselves, or to pass it along to school administrators and educators in their communities who may best be able to supply the required data.

Following an audit of the preliminary data, the 2008 survey results will be announced on March 25.

To access the survey or find more information, please visit www.nammfoundation.org.

Talk Isn’t Cheap The 2008 Presidential Campaign, Music Education and YOU!

W

e are now well into the 2008 campaign for President of the United States. Many of you who regularly read this column know that Music for All works tirelessly to elevate music and arts education as an

issue on this largest of stages that will influence the direction of our nation. These efforts, combined with the efforts of many of our national partners have paid off… handsomely.

In the 2000 and 2004 presidential primaries and general elections there was never any mention about the importance of music and arts education.

Not one. Maybe you could find a sentence or two in a position paper. But there was never any mention on the campaign trail, during debates, or in major interviews.

For 2008, the issue is everywhere.

And this is a welcome and important change… because what is said during the Presidential campaign does matter.

I’ll tell you why in a moment. First, let’s take a look at a small sampling of what is being said:

Barack Obama “One of the first things I would do is to modify No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Part of the reason that you’re seeing pressure on arts programs and music programs in the school is that No Child Left Behind is structured where the success of the school is measured entirely in terms by what happens on those high stakes standardize tests.”

“Increasingly you’re seeing more resources funneled into remedial and basic math and science to get test scores up and away from art and music. That’s part of a bigger problem. Which is I don’t think we are assessing schools effectively under NCLB. I think we have to have an assessment that include a test… but it has also has to includes peer review. It also has to include what 14 School Band and Orchestra, February 2008

is called a growth model so that were measuring what happens during the course of the school year. Right now, if a child comes in and they’re three years behind, and at the end of the year they’re only one year behind, that school’s actually done a very good job.

But it wouldn’t show up on No Child Left Behind. They would be still labeled, potentially, as a failure.”

“If we can change those assessments then once again we will be emphasizing arts, music, literature, social studies, foreign languages, the things that provide a well-rounded education for our children.”

John Edwards* “I think what we have to recognize is that we are all different and all students are different. Some students are extraordinarily academically gifted. Some students are athletically gifted. Those who are athletically gifted — because athletics (football, basketball, baseball, et cetera,) are revenue generating activities at the college and university level — they tend to get what they need without much concern. But, if you’re talking about the arts… if you’re talking about music… if you’re talking about painting, any of those areas, there are a lot of young people in America that that’s where their talent is. That’s where their interest is.

That’s where their passion is.“

Bill Richardson* “I would scrap No Child Left Behind.

It doesn’t work. It is a flawed law… not just an unfunded mandate but the ‘onesize fits all’ just doesn’t work.”

“I would emphasize science and math and to make sure that our kids that are not scoring well in science and math – 29th in the world – to unlock those minds in science in math… I would have a major federal program of art in the schools… music, dancing, sculpture, and the arts.”

“Arts education is not a silver bullet, but it is a lighted bridge. Students who engage in the arts are more likely to get involved in community and charitable work. These students also perform better in the classroom. I will substantially increase investment in arts-in-education programs. I will pay for musical instruments and music teachers in underserved communities around the country. The federal government will offer extra

matching funds to states that draw up their own comprehensive art programs.”

Hillary Clinton

“I understand that strong arts programs are part of a well-rounded education that helps enrich the next generation of America’s leaders and develop their abilities to think creatively and independently.”

“Since 2002, I have spoken out about the need to reform No Child Left Behind. However, in implementing NCLB, school systems are diminishing access to the arts. The federal commitment to arts education must be strengthened so that the arts are implemented as a part of the core curriculum of our nation’s schools and are an integral part of every child’s development.”

Mike Huckabee “I want to provide our children what I call the ‘Weapons of Mass Instruction’ – art and music – the secret, effective

“Here’s the way I think we should think about this and America needs to hear this. If you think back on past civilizations, civilizations from hundreds or even thousands of years ago what is it you remember about them? You remember their contribution to the arts.

That’s what you remember. You want to talk about the lasting impression that the world will have of the United States of America during our lifetime? It will be whatever we did to contribute to the arts… and we need to be contributing to the arts.”

“Because I believe so strongly in the importance of the arts I will ensure that we at a national level are providing incentives and funding to help promote the arts both in public school and in colleges and universities.”

weapons that will help us to be competitive and creative. It is crucial that children flex both the left and right sides of the brain. We all know the cliché of thinking outside the box: I want our children to be so creative that they think outside the cardboard factory. Art and music are as important as math and science because the dreamers and visionaries among us take the rough straw of an idea and spin it into the gold of new businesses and jobs. It is as important to identify and encourage children with artistic talent. Our future economy depends on a creative generation. Arts education inspires the creative genius in our children.”

“For the first time we at least recognize (in NCLB) that the arts ought to be part of the core curriculum. Let’s take it now to the next step. Lets ensure that in everyone of the 50 states it is a part of the offering. And that’s something that in Arkansas it meant that we had to get it through the legislature and get it passed.

And some would say, ‘But when you mandate something is that a good thing?’

Yes, it can be because what we force we fund. What we don’t force we don’t fund. I would suggest that it’s important to force it because it’s important. And if we force it we fund it and if we fund it we elevate it and we make sure that there is no child left behind when it comes not just in music but to dance or to art or to whatever form of artistic creative talent that a student may in fact have.”

So these are just a very small sample of what the candidates are saying – and not just once or twice, but thousands of times in debates, in speeches, in policy papers, and in media interviews… heck we even have Governor Huckabee who can’t walk by a bass guitar without picking it up, strapping it on and jamming with everyone whether it is an elementary jazz group or the Tonight Show band!

“Why Should I Care?”

Some of you may say to yourselves: “So what?”

Well, the December 31st issue of Newsweek addressed this point very clearly. They were writing an article about the importance of what presidential candidates say because it is a window into the policies of the future:

Education is another area ripe for sleeper issues. In early 2007, when he was an asterisk in the polls, Huckabee distinguished himself from the rest of the Republican field in part by discussing the importance of art and music education in the schools.

He explained how right-brain development is important not just to enrich the lives of students but to inspire the creativity necessary to help the United States keep its edge in the global economy.

At about the same time, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson sounded the same note in his stump speech as part of his call to end No Child Left Behind. Huckabee’s surge has little or nothing to do with this fresh idea, and it won’t resurrect Richardson’s campaign. But both Clinton and Obama now mention the subject by way of explaining why they think No Child has tilted too far in the direction of testing. It’s a strong applause line. Don’t be surprised if a lot more money for art and music turns up in an education bill a couple of years from now.

The lesson is that some of what’s said in presidential politics really matters, even if the candidate saying it doesn’t win. So the next time you see a contender bloviating on TV about some minor thing, stop and listen. That little proposal he’s mentioning might be pilfered by another candidate, one who winds up in the White House. Then watch what happens when the throwaway line you heard months or years earlier leaves a footprint so deep, even a podiatrist would be impressed.

Could supporting music and arts education in our schools be our nation’s “next big thing?” Based on history and this year’s crop of presidential candidates, I would not bet against it. * Editor’s note: At the time of this printing John Edwards and Bill Richardson are no longer candidates in the 2008 Presidential campaign.

This program, along with the Leadership Training program focuses on teaching your students how to be better band members by giving them the opportunity to work with the best in the business, including Tim Lautzenheiser, George Parks, Thom Hannum, Michael Cesario, and many more! The Leadership Training Workshop emphasizes building the skills needed to be effective in a leadership position.

instrumentalists, and twirlers. Learning the skills from those who teach the best bands in the country, students leave the workshop with a better understanding of what it means to be an integral part of an ensemble. The George N. Parks Drum Major Academy is a featured part of the Marching Band Workshop and is intended for drum majors or students interested in becoming one in the future.

Wittenberg’s music faculty includes distinguished performers, composers, and authors.

Wittenberg’s Music Department has been a member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) since 1931.

Wittenberg is one of the only small colleges in Ohio to offer three different undergraduate degrees in music: • The Bachelor of Music degree provides concentrated study in performance, church music, or composition to prepare students for professional careers.

• The Bachelor of Music Education degree focuses on teacher training for choral, instrumental, and general music, leading to certification for public school instruction.

• The Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Music allows students considerable flexibility in course selection in music history, music theory, and applied music. Students often combine this degree with a major or minor in another discipline, such as management or psychology.

• A music minor is also possible.

Wittenberg music ensembles are open to all Wittenberg students, regardless of major.

Auditions are held during the first week of fall semester. More than $100,000 in funding is available for music scholarships, which are available to all students regardless of major.

Auditions are held during spring semester.

PO Box 90249 Austin, TX 78709-0249 512-288-3351 Fax: 512-288-6445 Valerie Simosko E-mail: info@altusflutes.com www.altusflutes.com Altus Co., Ltd. has been handcrafting and hand-finishing artist-level flutes in the mountains of Azumino, Japan since its establishment in 1981. Combining creative materials with traditional influences, master flute-maker and headjoint sculptor Shuichi Tanaka has created a modern flute with a colorful and elegant tonal character. Recognized throughout the world for superior precision and superb intonation, Altus has become the flute of choice for many performing artists, orchestral professionals, and educators.

The Azumi flute by Altus features the Z-cut headjoint. The Azumi offers pre-professionals the opportunity to purchase a well-designed Britannia silver flute with a high-end headjoint at a remarkable value. The Z-cut headjoint by Altus combines dramatic tone with delicate agility, ensuring a performance unique to each flutistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style. The Z-cut allows increased projection and quicker articulation. A wider, rectangular shaped embouchure hole offers relaxed response and creates a big, open sound.

Altus is one of the few manufacturers of professional flutes that offer several models fit for advancing students to step up to a professional level flute. Model numbers 807 through 1107, as well as the Azumi flute, allow students the opportunity to purchase a quality professional flute.

Bois Ligatures

P.O. Box 90 Mountain Home, AR 72654 (870) 421-4996 FAX: (870) 424-5781 Web site: www.boisligatures.com A non-screw ligature is available for clarinet and saxophone from Bois Ligatures. They made their international debut at the ClarinetFest 2004 and the Midwest Clinic 2004 where they received rave reviews. The ligatures are endorsed by Lomax Classic Mouthpieces and Gennusa “Excellente” Mouthpieces.

For beginning players, simplicity is key.

The non-screw design of the Bois Ligature has been deemed “simplicity at its finest.” They are the band directors’ choice, and directors are replacing the old screw ligatures with these throughout their school programs.

Advanced players like the rich, round sound they give. With minimal reed contact, only at the outside rails, these ligatures provide excellent reed vibration. The ‘free-feeling’ allows greater flexibility while playing.

The design is fashioned from the concept of the string ligature, which has been long believed to be the best for sound quality, but is difficult to use. The ligatures are made of Delrin, a resilient, solid material. A rubber o-ring fits in the inner groove, which prevents it from slipping and provides cushioning against the reed.

The name “Etymotic” (pronounced “et-im-ohtik.”) means “true to the ear.” Mead Killion, Ph.D. founded Etymotic Research in 1983 to design high-fidelity products that measure, improve and protect hearing. Etymotic has developed and patented some of the most innovative hearing technology available today.

Etymotic developed the first high fidelity, noise-isolation in-the ear earphones, and continues to produce earphones with the highest frequency response accuracy.

One of Etymotic’s first products was the development of Musicians EarplugsTM, from an original design by Elmer Carlson, Mead Killion’s mentor. Musicians Earplugs are used by professional and amateur musicians worldwide. Unlike foam earplugs, Musicians Ear-

Musical Instruments & Accessories plugs do not muffle speech or music, allowing users to hear all sounds clearly while protecting their hearing. These earplugs formed the basis for affordable, non-custom ER-20 High-Fidelity Earplugs (called ETYPlugsTM) that provide 20 dB equal protection across frequencies.

Innovation and education are central to Etymotic’s mission. Every year Etymotic Research provides small grants to researchers, practicing clinicians and graduate students who are engaged in auditory research to advance the assessment and treatment of hearing loss, and/or to promote awareness of hearing protection.

Musical Instruments & Accessories did not like the taste of cane reeds. The company’s goal was to produce a premium cane reed that played well, eliminated the wood cane taste, and gave the reed a pleasant flavor.

After eight years of research, Flavoreeds perfected a method without changing the playing characteristics of a premium reed. Some players have suggested that Flavoreeds play better due to the process, which fills the pores of the reed.

Flavoreeds are produced in 10 different flavors, in five different degrees of strength, for clarinet and alto sax. They are packaged two reeds to a twin-pak. A clarinet twin-pak retails for $3.50, and an alto sax twin-pak for $4.95. Tenor sax reeds are available in tripaks for $10.95. Flavoreeds can be purchased through selected retail music stores and at www.flavoreeds.com.

Through ongoing improvements in material selection, manufacturing processes, uncompromising quality control and its proprietary computer testing system, the company has provided its customers with the “perfect pair” of drumsticks and mallets.

All Vic Firth sticks are inspected and re-inspected at each operation to ensure the highest quality product. From the sawmill, only the finest logs are cut into squares and dried to an exact moisture content in kilns under closely monitored conditions, which prevents stress, cracks and warping. The squares are doweled and then “ground” into drumsticks on center-less grinders – an approach that maintains the greatest consistency at the highest levels of dimensional tolerance.

After finishing and labeling, the sticks are rolled again for straightness, hand-sorted for color consistency and then sent through a proprietary computer pairing system. The exclusive process measures the weight, pitch and density of each stick and compares the vari88 School Band and Orchestra, February 2008

WhyVandoren.com Tip #4

What do reeds and a Stradivarius have in common?

They must be humidified.

Since your reeds and a million dollar violin are both made of wood, they need humidity to perform their best. That's why when you go into any violin shop, you'll see a humidity balanced room where they store their best violins. Your reeds deserve the same treatment. If you treat them like a Strad, they'll play better. Keeping your reeds between 45% and 70% humidity will make them sound better, be more responsive and last longer. That's why Vandoren created the revolutionary Flow Pack packaging and the new Hygrocase - the Flow Pack will make sure you get your reeds in perfect condition and the Hygrocase will help you keep them that way. Your instrument doesn't have to cost a million dollars, but good reeds and lots of practice can make it sound like it does.

For more information on Flow Packs, go to www.WhyVandoren.com.

Available for numerous instruments, Notes & Strings flashcards have been on the market since 1986. The flashcards were designed by a music teacher to help students learn note reading and fingering in an easy and fun way, and to help students learn the names of the actual notes they are playing instead of finger numbers. They are colorful, durable, easy to read, and they work. Here’s what some customers have to say about Notes & Strings flashcards: “My students’ sight reading improved quickly.” “They worked out great! I’m a (33-year-old) beginner and was spending too much time referring to my fingering chart instead of focusing on playing the pieces of music. It took a couple of weeks, but I now know all the fingerings and notes by heart!” “My son used his flashcards to learn the songs his teacher assigned at school. His teacher was very impressed.” “I highly recommend this great quality merchandise.” Check Web site for teacher discounts.

NewProducts Vincent Bach USA Student Instruments, Vito Saxophones

The traditional Bach TR300H USA trumpet, with monel pistons and first slide thumb saddle, also features single-point nylon valve guides for silent and secure action, a one-piece valve casing for long-lasting valve alignment, 4-3/4” bell with rim wire for superior tonal response, and nickel silver receiver to prevent corrosion and a “frozen” mouthpiece.

The new Bach USA models include the TR301 USA trumpet and CR301 USA cornet, with monel pistons and first and third slide rings, and the TB301 trombone. The trumpet and cornet each feature a nickel silver receiver and red brass mouthpipe for durability. Each also features a one-piece valve casing, monel pistons, first slide thumb saddle and adjustable third slide finger ring.

The TB301 Bach USA trombone features a sturdy nickel-silver handgrip and braces and chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide tubes to better hold slide alignment. The 8” bell and outside slide tubes are made of traditional yellow brass.

New Vito student alto and tenor saxophones, models 7141 (alto) and 7141T (tenor), are built with a student in mind. The two new models feature post-in-place construction for extended durability and treated pads for a secure airtight seal. The neck and body bore design, along with a specially selected mouthpiece provide for easy response and long-term growth of the student’s skills.

New to this line is the addition of the high F# key, which had been absent on the previous Vito student saxophones. Both models are finished in a resilient gold lacquer and employ the same sturdy key guards. In addition both new models come with a five-year warranty provided by Conn-Selmer.

X Marks the Spot When I have kids start as percussionists, I draw a circle on the center of their practice drum pads by tracing “Mr. Moore’s magic quarter.” I then put X’s on each side of the circle. Before they start their studies in the practice book, the students need to be able to do 25 right-hands and 25 lefthands, hitting the X – not striking more than one inch above or below. This has helped our beginning percussionists play better than students a year ahead of them.
