of social empowerment through classical music, continue to multiply and flourish in the United States. Affiliated with major orchestras, universities, schools, and arts and cultural centers from Florida to Maine and Southern California to Alaska, there are now more than 50 individual programs that share a mission of improving communities through the rigorous teaching of children and young people to play orchestral music. While most reports on this exciting and widely heralded movement in the United States indicate a rapid-fire expansion, the future of an umbrella organization or national governing body for El Sistema-inspired programs in this country is still unclear.

Guest Editorial: Army All-American Band “We had a lot of different halftime entertainment before 2008. But we wanted something that represents the same characteristics as the Army All-American Bowl: loyalty, dedication, hard work, teamwork, and integrity,” says Prato. “It is an opportunity for a high school marching musician or color-guard members to be recognized for their achievements just as a high school running back is, because they are all very good at what they do. And the Army gets to highlight Army core values to a generation of kids that needs to learn those values.” During that first year, Prato said a lot of the kids were from the same schools and event organizers made about 65 tour stops, but by year four they had 100 tour stops. “A tour stop is a selection at each kid’s high school, where we have an assembly to talk about how great they are,” Prato adds. “The community and hometown gets to recognize them for how good they are, and the school gets to recognize them as well.” One of those students was Abel Alvarado from Spring Branch, Texas, who played trumpet as part of the 2009 AAB band. Now a 20-year-old junior at the University of the Incarnate Word, Alvarado is one of a handful of senior ROTC Cadets who are also All-American Bowl marching band alumni brought in to help with logistics for this year’s members and to help out where needed. For Alvarado, the chance to mentor the musicians, especially the trumpeters, is one he relishes. Musicians and color guard members are nominated by members of their communities and selected by the National Association for Music Education. The nomination form must be filled out by a nominating teacher, and eventually the student must audition. But those who make it through the se-

SBO Technology columnist John Kuzmich, Jr. provides some helpful tips for music educators to assist their students with college placement.

In an effort to help foster an understanding and development of high school music programs throughout the country, in 2008 the U.S. Army started the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band to showcase the talents of America’s high school musicians as part of the halftime entertainment at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. According to Brian Prato, the director of operations for U.S. Army All-American Marching Band, the band, the high school, and the local communities all benefit from this ensemble. “This event is positive PR for each band and the high schools – it gives accolades to the school, which is important right now when you look at a lot of programs that are under the microscope for budget cuts,” Prato explains. “It is important that the public understand these are good kids and why they are good kids is because of the activities they choose to participate in. We don’t see music education as extracurricular; it is a part of a well-rounded education.” The band, made up of 125 senior highschoolers from across the country, performed a 13-minute patriotic routine during halftime of the 12th annual Army All-American Bowl at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on January 7th, 2012.

lection process receive an all-expensespaid trip to San Antonio. Michael Thompson, who serves as battalion executive officer for Miami Sunset Senior High School’s Junior ROTC program, was a member of this year’s U.S. Army All-American Bowl marching band, during which he served as a field general. As the ensemble’s drum major, Thompson was the first one onto the Alamodome field, directing the critical melodic movement during a halftime performance of the annual game featuring some of the nation’s top high school football prospects. Thompson is the first Junior ROTC cadet to lead the marching band, now in its fifth year, says Prato. Some 30 students applied for the drum major role. Andre Feagin, the AAB band director, wanted someone who possessed charisma, a strong musical background and the ability to be a humble leader. Reviewing Thompson’s resume and video, Feagin said he knew immediately he had his onfield commander. It didn’t hurt, too, that he had experience leading his peers as a cadet. “These leaders rise to the top,” says Feagin. “Michael’s background in JROTC was intriguing, as well as what he felt about music and what (his selection) would mean to his program.” Thompson got an unexpected call from Feagin during lunch one day in late-May notifying him of his selection. When he applied, Thompson hedged on whether he could receive the nod. He figured he had the talent, but didn’t know how he would fare against students enrolled in specialized musicdevelopment schools. “Michael understands esprit de corps, the code of conduct and the order of things,” said Tyrone O’Neal, Miami Sunset’s band director. “With Michael, his concern is the mission. Everything is geared toward the mis-

Technology-oriented motivation can be an essential ingredient.

Perspective

A World View Composers of classical music in the western tradition have a long history of utilizing melodies, themes, folk tunes, and musical structures from remote countries. Haydn, Brahms, Bartok, and many others borrowed and integrated music from other cultures into their own compositions. Compared to today’s interconnected world, traveling to other countries in their times presented significant logistical, physical, and psychological challenges. Long journeys by primitive means often meant the potential for sickness, accidents, hijacking, and occasionally even the death of composers who ventured to distant lands. In the music education field, many techniques have similarly been folded into our educational system, including the Suzuki method from Japan, Kodaly concept from Hungry, Orff Schulwerk from Germany, and, more recently, El Sistema from Venezuela. However, within our own careers, we tend to get caught up in the issues and concerns of our local states and communities, especially as they relate to music education. It’s often difficult to find time to look beyond our national borders to ascertain what is happening in music education around the globe. Though there is no doubt that the school-oriented musical education in the United States is considered one of the best in the world, there are often insightful lessons that “There are often can be learned by studying the way other nations educate their students in musical pursuits. insightful lessons that We certainly have many fine organizations in the USA can be learned by that provide tremendous resources, but often have relastudying the way other tively inconsequential international presence.

Many would even suggest students in musical that it may seem to be a relatively unnecessary undertakpursuits.” ing to look beyond our borders, that highly successful careers can happen without considering the worldwide landscape; and in most cases, they wouldn’t be wrong. Alternatively, one could consider the example of Mark Churchill, the visionary Dean Emeritus from New England Conservatory who was featured on the cover of this magazine last year. Churchill had the foresight to envisage the potential adaptation of El Sistema in the United States as a means of enhancing the lives of underprivileged children. This vision of his has already taken root and continues to reach more young people across the country. Another potential model for further study could be the “inspired teaching at Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy, Finland [which] has become the principal exporter of a steady stream of astonishingly fine conductors” (Chicagoclassicalreview.com, Thu Jul 30, 2009). The International Society for Music Education [ISME - www.isme.org], is a 50-year-old international association that many are unfamiliar within the U.S.A. Its mission is to work with educators around the world “building and maintaining a worldwide community of music educators characterized by mutual respect and support; fostering global intercultural understanding and cooperation among the world’s music educators; and promoting music education for people of all ages in all relevant situations throughout the world.” Getting involved in an organization like this could be a first – and critically important – step in beginning an intriguing journey that could yield significant results in building your own bridge to the international culture of music education…

Placido Domingo Conducts El Sistema-Based Orchestra

Cell Phone Ringtone Halts Mahler’s 9th in New York

A recent performance of Gustav Mahler’s Ninth Symphony was held up by an uninvited instrumentalist in the crowd, whose cell phone began ringing near the end of a performance by the New York Philharmonic. The Associated Press reported that after a front row audience member allowed their phone to ring several times, conductor Alan Gilbert turned to stop the entire orchestra, refusing to continue with the quiet finale to the Symphony until the phone had been silenced, a process which took several vocal requests from Gilbert and a handful of irritated outbursts from the rest of the audience. A media spokesperson from the Philharmonic said it was the first time that Gilbert has ever stopped a performance for a noisy cell phone, though there has been one other instance of a similar offense.

The original El Sistema program in Venezuela has been lauded for its impact on low-income students across the country, 250,000 of whom have received free music instruction to this point. Its most famous graduate to date is Los Angeles Philharmonic director Gustavo Dudamel, a tireless advocate of musical expression and education. The children in New York’s Harmony program performed Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus and selections from Antonin Dvorak’s New World Symphony arranged for young performers. The gala, which happened in midtown Manhattan, was expected to raise $100,000 toward Harmony’s annual budget of $450,000. For more information, visit www.harmonyprogram.cuny.edu.

Opera superstar Placido Domingo recently conducted a 35-piece student orchestra in New York City, based on Venezuela’s acclaimed El Sistema program. Domingo conducted fourth, fifth, and sixth-graders from public schools in Harlem and Brooklyn at a fundraiser Wednesday for the music program, the Harmony Program. The program was created, according to founder Anne Fitzgibbon, after she visited Venezuela in 2007, and is designed to make up for students in New York’s public schools typically having access to music education just once a week. In Fitzgibbons’ program, students have the opportunity to spend two hours each day of the week in rehearsal sessions or performing with the orchestra, with expectations to practice at home as well.

NAMM Launches Survey for 2012 Best Communities for Music Education Awards

The NAMM Foundation recently launched its annual effort to recognize and support schools across the United States that promote music education as part of a complete and quality education for all children. The Best Communities for Music Education recognition program celebrates the positive impact of music education on schools, students and communities. This year marks the Foundation’s 13th annual Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) Survey, a nationwide search for communities whose programs exemplify a strong commitment to music education. Established in 1998, BCME recognizes and celebrates schools, their administrators, teachers, board members, parents and students for their support and commitment to music education. The program also recognizes communities and schools that have diverse offerings for music learning that include music technology and innovative music education curricula. The 2012 survey began on Friday, Jan. 20 and will remain open through Friday, March 9, 2012. Each school district or community is allowed to fill out one survey, which must be completed by a school administrator and/or teacher who has access to school and district demographic and budgetary information. The responses are verified with district officials and program advisors review submission. As in the previous years, the 2012 survey will be conducted in collaboration with The Institute for Educational Research and Public Service (www.ku.edu/~ierps/cgi-bin) of Lawrence, Kansas, an affiliate of the University of Kansas. The BCME final roster will be announced on April 16, 2012. The survey can be completed by visiting the NAMM Foundation

sion, and everything that deviates, he eliminates that and stays focused.” Thompson said his All-American teammates were the best in the nation adding, “The only thing I had to do is make sure I’m ready. When I’m ready and confident, I have the mindset that nothing will go awry once the performance comes.” Thompson, who’s considering a senior ROTC scholarship, plans to attend the University of Miami after graduation and major in nursing. He had decided against medical school and becoming a physician because he said medical school is too long, and he wants to be in a position more quickly to help people. Prato said that Thompson’s academic story is similar to that of other band members in that the group is made up of motivated, loyal, hardworking students guided by integrity and honor. For example, the average GPA for the 2012 band is 3.7 out of 4.0, 67 members play at least one other instrument. “Our bands are made up of kids who are from high-end competitive marching bands who travel a lot, and kids from the inner city, and kids from small country schools where their bands are only 53 members,” Prato notes. “If you can march well and play well, and are a good community citizen, you can be an Army All-American.” Thompson and his high school band director know this first hand. “You don’t have to come from the largest band program in the district to have quality people,” says O’Neal. “What matters is not where you’re at, but what you do while you’re there.” Rachael Tolliver serves as a strategic communication specialist and an editor/writer for U.S. Army Cadet Command at Fort Knox, Ky.

honor bands, including all-state and all-county ensembles. These auditions can serve as first taste of what students might face during their college auditions, and that experience can pay dividends in confidence and skill when auditioning for college placement and scholarships. Collegelevel etudes or solos for honor band auditions need several months of preparation to master technique, phrasing, and tone production. When students participate in solo & ensemble festivals, it is possible to introduce them to significant solo repertoire for college auditions. It would be particularly smart after solo & ensemble festival to set up a recording session for students who are considering college music studies. In time, these students will have several college-level solos already recorded to include on the demo recording which they can share with college faculty members.

priate college faculty members and help them explore possibilities.

College Recruitment Recruiting is an art all its own. Occasional e-mails to representatives of various state and private colleges establish relationships good for brainstorming about what instruments they’re looking for, and can provide valuable information for your students. Ensemble directors and applied music faculty are always looking for good referrals. Stay in the loop. Do a web search of each college to find out whom to contact. The college music department URL will often appear with a pull-down menu for a faculty directory. You can identify the ensemble director and applied teachers by instrument with their e-mail addresses and phone numbers for direct inquiry.

“Technology is now a big part of successful college matchmaking.”

Build a Relationship through Demo Recordings While admissions applications and conversations are a good beginning, a strong demo recording can establish a firmer relationship between the student and the college faculty and band/orchestra director. Or, one can post the individual student recordings on a website or blog for the college teachers to easily access without clumsy FTP downloading or snail-mailing a CD. This also makes readily recordings available to multiple colleges simultaneously in the recruiting process. Recordings are also a valuable recruiting tool for college music departments. Feel free to request online recordings of the college ensembles the student is interested in visiting. Sometimes colleges will send applicants a CD, but a URL makes it easy to assess the quality and creativity of a

college band or orchestra program. It is important that the student’s music teacher also listen to the recordings as an objective third-party appraiser who can help counsel the student. I’ve had students design their own jewel case for their audition CD to illustrate the depth of their ownership. I recently had a student audition on both tuba and alto saxophone who was offered a full four-year scholarship for each instrument based on his digital recordings. From start to finish, it was actually an enjoyable process recording and producing his audition CD. The audition repertory ought to include scales, etudes, and solos, plus a jazz component if possible. You can listen to a sample audition CD I helped a student make on a Superscope PSD450 with an external stereo microphone in a high school auditorium at: www.kuzmich2.com/ College/Angelo/music.html.

Successful Campus Visit Another purpose for a demo recording, besides presenting the student’s musicianship, would be to prompt the faculty member to invite the student and parents for a campus visit. A visit is much more than satisfying curiosity. This is an important opportunity to assess if the student is compatible with the instructor and what that instructor has to offer in terms of pedagogical insight on the student’s sound production and musicianship. In addition, other activities should be scheduled. Below is a sample itinerary of one day in a campus visit arranged for a student of mine by a conscientious faculty member and smart recruiter at Adams State College in Colorado: 10a.m. Visit Intro to Music Lit class 11a.m. Visit Theory I class 12p.m. Lunch with students 1p.m. Warm-up 1:30p.m. Audition/lesson with applied teacher 2p.m. Campus tour 3p.m. Visit and perform with Brass Choir 4:30p.m. Visit and perform with Wind Ensemble 16

Resume Hints While the music recording is essential, a good resume reinforces the necessary facts about the student’s coursework and personal music, and academic achievements including national test scores and high school class ranking. Most high school students need some assistance to better structure their resumes beyond what is offered in their language arts classes. As a music teacher, you are uniquely qualified to help shape a student resume to their best advantage. The resume market has progressed dynamically in recent years. My web site, www.kuzmich.com/employment/job_seekers/resumes/resumes. html, offers suggestions on how to structure a resume. The PowerPoint presentation gives step-by-step instructions. The first URL link provides important features of a dynamic resume. For a good template for a resume, I recommend downloading the following resume and pasting in the student’s vital information. A good resume template can be downloaded here: www.kuzmich.com/ Dynamic_Resume_Template.html. For examples of student resumes, visit this articles web supplement at: www.kuzmich.com/SBO0212.html.

Closing Comments Technology is now a big part of successful college matchmaking. Networking with e-mail, internet searches, web pages, blogs, and inexpensive, high quality digital audio recordings have become standard operation for music teachers and college faculty aspiring to place high school musicians. Answering machines and “snail” mail can’t compete with the convenience of the new electronic communication. Technology can also help establish comfortable networking relationships that will benefit students seeking to continue their music education in college. This systematic approach will crown the legacy of your excellent music program as it affects the future lives of your students.

711 E Boldt Way Appleton WI 54911 (800) 227-0982 www.lawrence.edu Founded in 1847, Lawrence University uniquely integrates a college of liberal arts and sciences with a world-class conservatory of music, both devoted exclusively to undergraduate education. Ranked among America’s best colleges, it was selected for inclusion in the book “Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About College.” Individualized learning, the development of multiple interests and community engagement are central to the Lawrence experience. All Lawrence Conservatory students pursue at least one-third of their course work outside of music, and many choose to complete both the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Music degree in a special five-year program. Unlike many other music schools, Lawrence Conservatory students do not compete with graduate students for roles in the opera, chairs in the orchestra, or faculty attention. Lawrence draws its 1,445 students from 44 states and 35 countries. For more information visit www.lawrence.edu or follow us on Facebook.

Dr. Tim says, “It’s always interesting to observe the difference in the momentum of the ensemble when students play a work by Stephen Melillo. There is a definite ‘connection’ to his music that lifts the performer to a new level of expression.” And... these Musical journeys are enhanced by effective Teaching Tools with Stephen’s direct support. “Melillo is to wind music what Beethoven was to the symphony orchestra... Superlative musical craftsmanship and inspiring to hear.” Marvin Sosna, Music Critic. From the Karl Geroldinger, Conductor of Chapter 21: WON WAY! (Coming soon!) “Since we met Stephen Melillo 8 years ago my orchestra and me are inspired by his emotional music touching the hearts. We played some of his great pieces in our concerts and felt the power of his music occupying us and our audience. You cannot play Steve’s music without being involved with heart and soul - Music from Stephen Melillo is like an earthquake and a prayer in equal time.”

Now owned for over two years by Powell Flutes--the Boston-based “Stradavarius flutes” and long recognized as “obsessed with quality”--E.K. Blessing is experiencing a rebirth all its own. In addition to offering sturdy, American made entry and intermediate level trumpets, trombones, and marching brass, Blessing offers an exceptional selection of professional trumpets and trombones. For over a century musicians like Clifford Brown and Red Rodney chose Blessing. Today artists like Lew Soloff, Rob Parton and Dominick Farinacci carry on that great tradition.

Blessing moved to a stateof-the-art manufacturing facility within Elkhart in 2010. Today, the new Blessing is not only adding terrific new instruments, they’re also going to great lengths to improve upon current designs. For example, the BM-301 marching baritone is now 25% lighter to reduce player fatigue, but is still brawny and reliable. To improve the customer experience Blessing will soon roll out its new web-based parts catalogue. When you choose a Blessing horn, you’re not only choosing a great instrument at an affordable price. You’re choosing a commitment to high quality American manufacturing, and the peace of mind that provides.

For 40 years, Vic Firth Inc. has produced the best drumsticks and mallets available. 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 variables to the characteristics of hundreds of other sticks. Pairs are then matched to the closest possible tolerances,

resulting in two drumsticks that are perfectly matched for optimum balance, sound and feel. No other stick manufacturer in the world offers this value-added service.

repairs/inventory. Two forms for the musical instrument industry. The first repair form has no services listed and is perfect for Band/ Orchestra directors who prefer to write in the “work-to-be-done” and also perfect for use with any instrument. The second repair form is identical except it has the “workto-be-done” prelisted on the form in an organized and concise format for violins, guitars and other string instruments. There are blank lines on this repair form to allow you to write in additional repairs or use it for instruments other than the violin or guitar. Both forms use carbonless paper, have 3 full parts and 2 product ID stubs. The middle copy can be used for the Repair Technician and/or Estimate Work Sheet. Both forms are available with your school imprint. Please go to our www.walkingbirdmusic. com to see the forms in detail or to take a look at our other products.

Sight Reading Factory

P.O. Box 723 Mechanicsville, VA 23111 (804) 442-6192 Don Crafton, Founder and Owner info@sightreadingfactory.com www.sightreadingfactory.com The Sight Reading Factory is an online service for music educators and students who are looking for an innovative new way to sight read. Users can customize their own sight reading material and generate unlimited amounts of new music for any supported instrument. Instead of spending valuable time searching for or composing sight reading, with a few simple mouse clicks you can generate quality, never before seen music. The program actually composes music directly in the web browser in mere seconds. There are many rules governing the musical output so that it makes sense rhythmically, melodically and harmonically. In other words, it is not just a bunch of random notes and rhythms on a page, it sounds like real music. For teachers, this tool can be used with a small or large group of students via a SMART Board or digital video projector. For students, this service is invaluable in helping to prepare for auditions. With six levels of difficulty, there is something to challenge everyone, from the first year player to the most seasoned musician.

Brought to you by EPN Travel Services

The 10 Times Rule “We want students to learn, not memorize their major scales. We use what we call the ‘10 Times Rule.’ Students must play the scale they are working on 10 times without mistakes before moving to the next scale. If they get to the ninth time and miss even a note, they start all over again and do it ten more times. They might play a scale 30 or 40 times, but they will know it when they are finished!” Mike Walsh Alpharetta High School Alpharetta, Ga.

Submit your PLAYING TIP online at www.sbomagazine.com or e-mail it to editor Eliahu Sussman at esussman@symphonypublishing.com. Winning entries will be published in School Band and Orchestra Magazine and contributor will receive a prize gift compliments of EPN Travel Services, Inc.
