Perspective

Second Time Around

ne of the age-old questions facing the music industry and a variety of education al organizations is what happens to student musicians after they finish high school. Some do go on to play in college bands, but only very small percentages continue to perform in other ensembles after college. It is quite unfortunate that the end of high school is the time when most student musicians put away their instruments for the final time. However, this doesn’t necessarily have to be the end of the story. There are many opportunities emerging for people who want to continue enriching their lives through musical activities. During a recent conversation with Dr. Michael Mazarissi of Performing Arts Consultants at the recent Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic, he informed me of a band called the Awesome Original Second Time Arounders, which is a group out of the St. Petersburg, Fla. area comprised of approximately 500 members, making it one of the largest marching bands in the country. This ensemble This ensemble features an extraordinary membership which ranges in age features an from 18 to 85 and is directed by former band director and music store owner, Bill Findeison, who founded the group extraordinary in 1983. Many adult players come from hundreds of miles membership around the Southeast to be involved in this unique band. which ranges in They have performed at a variety of events around the US age from 18 to 85 and overseas, providing these musicians with a great outlet for their musical passion. Further north, in Orleans, Massachusetts, there is another unique group called The Spirit of America, which features a wide variety of ensembles, including a field band, marching band, wind ensemble, fife and drum corps, and winter percussion. The unique aspect of this organization is that it includes parents and their children as performers, providing a great opportunity for them to bond through their shared love and joy of music. This band has also won numerous awards and has traveled worldwide to a variety of exhibitions and competitions, including the prestigious championships of the World Association of Marching Bands in Jeju, South Korea. The New Horizons bands, which are located all over the country, offer a more relaxed, non-competitive environment for folks that may have played while growing up and want to have an opportunity to perform again. The Association of Concert Bands lists over 1,400 members of community bands and ensembles. According to their Web site, this “includes bands, individuals, and corporations who are uniquely dedicated and equipped to serve the needs of adult instrumental musicians who perform in and lead community bands.” All of the time and effort that goes into educating students musically may be transferred into a lifelong passion if young musicians are informed of the wonderful possibilities awaiting them after graduation. Performing music as an adult is a great way to relieve stress after a hard day of work and provide a network of social contacts, in addition to enriching one’s life through music.

HeadLines Survey Suggests Positive Effects of Music Video Games

n informal November 2008 survey by Fender and Montclair, N.J.-based non-profit music education organization Little Kids Rock shows that the popular Rock Band and Guitar Hero video games may be helpful in driving some students toward playing real instruments. The joint survey informally polled 812 music instructors nationwide who are affiliated with Little Kids Rock. Of the instructors contacted, 517 responded, a showing of roughly 63 percent. Among the instructors surveyed, 94.6 percent of their students were in the 813 age group (3.3 percent age 4-7 years, 50 percent age 8-10 years, 44.6 percent age 11-13, 14.1 percent age 14-16, 4.3 percent age 17 and older). Fender and Little Kids Rock conducted the fourquestion survey in response to the often debated question of whether or not games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero function as gateways for kids to take up real musical instruments; whether they spark or subvert the interest of children in formal music education. Specifically, the questions concerned the perceived effects of the Rock Band and Guitar Hero video games on enrollment in courses for guitar, bass guitar, and drum instruction. To the first question, “In the past year, as a result of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, has enrollment increased, decreased or stayed the same for guitar, bass and drums?” 67.1 percent of the responding instructors indicated that they felt that their guitar program enrollment has increased as a result (with 2.2 responding “decreased” and 30.7 responding “remained the same”); 46 percent felt that their bass program enrollment has increased as a result (with 4.3 responding “decreased” and 49.4 responding “remained the same”), and 52 percent felt that their drum program enrollment has increased as a result (with 4.2 responding “decreased” and 43.6 responding “remained the same”). To the second question, “Do you feel that the Rock Band and Guitar Hero video games have had a positive effect on your music classroom?” 78 percent of responding instructors indicated that they felt that Rock Band and Guitar Hero have indeed had a positive effect. To the third question, “Have you seen a shift towards students wanting to learn classic guitar-based rock as a result of Rock Band and Guitar Hero?” 88 percent of responding instructors indicated that they felt that the two games have caused such a shift. To the fourth and final question, “Do you feel that Rock Band and Guitar Hero would help in attracting new students to your classroom?” 95 percent of responding instructors indicated in the affirmative; that they felt the two games would help attract new students.

HeadLines National Symphony Orchestra Selects Arkansas for 2009 Residency

he John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts has accepted the Arkansas Arts Council’s invitation to make Arkansas the site of the National Symphony Orchestra’s 2009 American Residency. Between March 24 and 31, 2009, the members of the Orchestra will participate in approximately 150 education and performance activities throughout the state. The impetus for the Arkansas Arts Council’s invitation came from University of Central Arkansas’s Dean of Fine Arts and Communications Rollin Potter. The two organizations will jointly take on the role of coordinating all Residency activities. The Residency is funded by the Kennedy Center through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, as it has been since 1994. Since 2006, the chamber music and outreach performances have been supported by the Kennedy Center Abe Fortas Memorial Fund for chamber music and by a major gift to the fund from the late Carolyn E. Agger, widow of Abe Fortas. There will be a total of six orchestral concerts in the state, including an NSO Young People’s Concert in Helena. Dozens of educational and outreach activities and other events are being planned. The repertoire for Arkansas’s evening concerts will be conducted by Iván Fischer.

HeadLines Lew Soloff Endorses Sonaré Trumpets Lew Soloff has joined other internationally recognized players in performing on Sonaré Trumpets. Professional musicians around the world endorse products under the Sonaré Winds umbrella, which includes Sonaré flutes and trumpets, Keilwerth saxophones and York Brass. Born in Brooklyn in 1944, Lew Soloff was raised in Lakewood, New Jersey where he began playing trumpet when he was 10. By 1966, he was performing with Maynard Ferguson and that year also joined the Gil Evans Group. But it was in the popular groundbreaking group, Blood, Sweat & Tears, that Soloff’s trumpet solos became an indelible part of American culture. He was an integral part of the band from 1968 to 1973, racking up 9 Gold records worldwide, a Grammy for “Record of The Year” (1969) and creating those searing horn lines in “Spinning Wheel.” Following his time with Blood, Sweat and Tears, Soloff demonstrated his distinguished abilities in the studio with George Benson, Benny Carter, Paquito D’Rivera, Miles Davis/Quincy Jones (Live At Montreux), Mercer Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Herbie Mann, Carmen McRae and Wayne Shorter. Film soundtracks that have Soloff in the mix include; The Big Lebowski, Lethal Weapon 3, Billy Bathgate, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Carlito’s Way, The Color of Money, Coming To America, The Mambo Kings, Meet Joe Black, National Lampoons Vacation, Tender Mercies, The Untouchables and Maid In Manhattan. A respected educator as well, he continues to appear as guest soloist at universities around the country, has been on the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music for nearly 20 years, and is an adjunct faculty member at Juilliard and New School.

amaha recently named Mark Carman, of Levittown, N.Y., the winner of the Celebrate Your Music Contest. Launched in September 2008, the contest sought the best performance of Disney’s It’s a Small World’s theme song. Contestants had the opportunity to upload their performances online through Yamaha’s Web site. A press conference announcing the winner and debuting the winning video was held on January 16, 2009 at Winter NAMM 2009 in Anaheim, Calif. Carman, a senior at Stony Brook University majoring in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, wins the grand prize of a two-night stay at a California’s Disneyland Resort and a $750 credit towards any Yamaha instrument or product. His winning entry traced the history of competitive marching snare drumming in three movements. The first movement featured a tribute to the post-WWII era when percussionists began evolving popular marches and standards for use on the field in competition. Movement two was a tribute to the latter part of the twentieth century, where the use of Kevlar heads and high tension marching percussion instruments became popular. The third movement displayed more recent developments in marching percussion including more a complex rhythmic style, reflecting the contemporary musical styles being presented by drum & bugle corps and indoor percussion ensembles.

Music Fuels “Hope and Change” BY BOB MORRISON

very once in a while I come across a story that embodies the message and the purpose of why we fight so hard to ensure that all students of every shape, size, background, ethnicity, social status, and zip code have music as a part

of their basic education. And like most good stories, I never saw this one coming.

Bob Morrison is chairman emeritus of Music for All and may be reached at music4all@optonline.net.

It started on a cold December morning. I was executing my usual morning routine – treadmill, breakfast, Star Ledger newspaper with my coffee before settling in for my jam-packed schedule. As I was reading the paper a headline jumped out at me:

“Young Drummers Snare Spot at the Inaugural Parade” They are short on just about everything but the hope Obama preaches “What this?” I asked myself. I decided to dive into the story: When the Presidential Inaugural Committee put out the call to the nations’ marching bands for the Jan. 20 ceremony, Bill Powers of the Bonnie Brae Residential School for troubled boys in Somerset County took a chance. His application was a long shot. The 14-member Knights Drum Corps has no bandleader, no formal uniforms, no funds and not enough drumsticks to go around. The audition tape showed members playing their hearts out on some thunderous African beats an instructor once taught them, songs without names. “I had some hope – because we are so unique and because of Obama’s cam16 School Band and Orchestra, February 2009

paign theme of hope and change – that maybe there was a chance we could sit under that umbrella,” he said. Powers oversees the lives and education of the 98 boys, ages eight to 18, who attend the school in Bernards Township. Most of them have been sent to live at the private, nonprofit boys residential treatment and special education center by state child welfare officials. Many had acted out in response to abandonment, abuse, or neglect. “Hope is what we sell here, and change is what these boys are all about,” he said. So here I was reading this story by Star Ledger reporter Christina Johnson about these young men from what I will generously refer to as challenged backgrounds who were invited to represent the state of New Jersey in the Inaugural Parade. These young men from a school whose only product is hope and change being invited to perform before the newly installed President who was elected on the very plat-

form of hope and change. It was very compelling. Even more stirring was the fact that they had: · No instruments · No carriers · No cymbals · No uniforms · No money As my mind flashed through my friends in the Rolodex who might be in a position to help, I quickly realized that I was in a position to actually do something to address their challenges.

asked if they could help with uniforms. Next I called Terry West, the president of Pearl Drums and asked for some drums. I followed this up with a call to Lauren May at Randal May International to see about carriers. I shared with each of them this incredible story about these young men and the opportunity they had. The first question I received from each of them was, “What can we do to help?” Everyone agreed to pitch in. That evening I went over to the school to see the condition of what

“It is this transformational power of music that the Bonnie Brae Knights embody.” First, I called the CEO of the school, Bill Powers, to see what they needed. Next, I woke my longtime friend Michael Cesario, who designs uniforms for Fred J. Miller, Inc, and

they had, just to be sure we were ordering the proper gear. I immediately noticed they had no cymbals. So I called Andy Zildjian, the president of Sabian Cymbals, and asked him for a

donation of some marching cymbals. He did not hesitate for one moment. Other people who read the story began to take similar actions. John Farbman from DrillMaster marching shoes donated footwear for the group. Tommy Hilfiger donated hats, outerwear, and large duffle bags. Companies like Novartis and Chubb donated money. Individuals sent in checks or hand delivered donations. The Jonathan D. Krist Foundation donated the money to pay for the buses. And Jersey’s own actor James Gandolfini sent in a large donation, as did the E Street band’s Max Weinberg, who also sent along a promise to come to the school and do a master class for the students. The outpouring was incredible! All these companies are to be commended for their overwhelming generosity. Over the Christmas holiday equipment began to arrive. Drums, carriers, cymbals, shoes. Five days before the Inaugural Parade, the new uniforms arrived, created for the Knights in under a week. The Knights very quickly became the “feel good” story of the inaugural parade. National television networks sent out news crews. ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox. More newspapers covered the story, including a large article with photos in the New York Times. On January 15th the school hosted a send off open house for the group. More than 300 people turned out for the celebration and the unveiling of the 2009 Bonnie Brae Knights. The founder of the drum corps, William Randolph, a former counselor from Bonnie Brae who retired in 2008, watched from his wheelchair as the drummers performed. He started the drum corps at the school about seven years ago. “The thought of playing for a President, let alone a black President of the United States, was the furthest thing from our minds,” Randolph said. He started the drum corps as a means of teaching students to apply themselves to music, and thus become better students overall. It was his vision to start a program to provide these young men with a positive activity that would teach them many of the skills they would need to develop 18 School Band and Orchestra, February 2009

in order to put their lives on a better pathway. Discipline, teamwork, problem solving, working toward a goal that was bigger than one’s self. All the things most music educators know – and things that we sometimes take for granted. It is the power of making music that has the ability to change young people for the better. And it has. As they marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, people would shout out, “We saw you on TV.” This gave these young men a great sense of pride and accomplishment. All those extra rehearsals to get ready were now all worth the time and effort. And then, at 5:42 PM on January 20, 2009 the Bonnie Brae Knights marched by the Presidential Reviewing stand. There they stood in stark contrast to our new President. He ran a campaign of hope and change. These young men have been in search of hope and change. For this one special moment they were the focal point of the leader of the free world. Many of these young men come from broken homes; have been abused, in trouble, or worse. It is difficult to imagine anyone being further away from being President of the United States than these young men. For one day, however, they were New Jersey’s only representatives in the Inaugural Parade. They marched alongside of some of the greatest and most famous marching bands and drum corps in our country, from the World Champion Cadets to the famous Florida A&M band. The Knights may not have been the most talented group. But that was not the point. They represented a bigger vision of hope and change. Not just for our country, but for themselves. This experience has shown them there is another pathway they can choose. It is this transformational power of music that the Bonnie Brae Knights embody. And this power of music has transformed these 14 young men, forever. Their story may not be your story. However, let this serve as a reminder of the transformational power each of you possess and employ in your classrooms each and everyday.

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 supported by effective Teaching Tools and 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. “Every September I ask my 6th graders if they’ve ever heard a concert band. They roll their eyes. Then I play Melillo. After the applause and cheering, I ask if they’ve ever heard a band sound LIKE THAT. They shake their heads. I ask, “Why not?” “Because we never played music LIKE THAT!” I say, “Well, you’re going to now!” And we’re off! You just need to give them something meaningful to care about -- like your music.” Judy Voois, M.S. Teacher, Westchester, PA.

65 Sprague Street Boston, MA 02136 (617) 326-6869 FAX: (617) 364-2571 Neil Larrivee E-mail: info@vicfirth.com Web site: www.vicfirth.com 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.

sound. All of its music is written by and/or edited by music educators. It is fun to play and each grade level is written within guidelines so a grade one composition can be played in the first year. 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.

Yamaha’s AvantGrand N3

The AvantGrand N3 from Yamaha features new technologies that actualize the physical connection a pianist experiences on an acoustic grand piano.The Tactile Response System replicates the resonating string vibration of an acoustic piano to the players hands through specially placed transducers; while a new mechanical touch pedal system reproduces the finesse of acoustic pedals, duplicating the spring, friction, and inertia. The placement of the four-channel, three-way Spatial Acoustic Speaker System mimics the points where the original grand piano samples were taken, while two Soundboard Resonators create a non-directional sound dispersion directly in front of the player, duplicating the subtle reproduction of the buildup of sound felt by concert pianists.
