Parks Drum Major Academy, Thom Hannum and many more! The clinicians focus on developing your students’ performance and leadership skills and teach them how to be better band members.

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.

Opt-in for the email list ASAP!
With over 23 hours of internationally championed commissions since 1992, Stephen’s groundbreaking Music for Ensembles of the 3rd Millennium™ offers inspiring new choices from beginners to pros. 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.”

Whether you’re a teacher or parent who wants to introduce children to music, a regular concertgoer eager to learn more, a young artist seeking guidance from established masters, or someone who can only get to Carnegie Hall virtually, the Weill Music Institute (WMI) is your portal to a richer musical experience. WMI serves some 170,000 people annually with programs and partnerships that allow people of all ages and backgrounds to explore their potential as performers and audience members. The Online Resource Center brings WMI’s extensive collection of multimedia and interactive materials to educators, young artists, and teaching artists around the country and throughout the world.
International engagement includes Musical Exchange (ages 13–19), which invites teens to connect with peers from around the world and share their musical performances through Carnegie Hall’s global online community, and the Weill Fellows program, which welcomes international teachers and administrators to New York City for a week of learning and information sharing.
Programs for artists—such as the Professional Training Workshops—give young artists the chance to learn from the world’s most accomplished conductors, instrumentalists, and vocalists.

Better yet, it’s like two products in one because you can slip the Bench Mount part off the wall and carry it to the stadium to hold the sousaphones in the stands. Of course, you can also buy the Bench Mount separately if you don’t need the full Wall Assembly. Then there’s our sousaphone Wrap, providing more protective coverage of the tubing than any product on the market. And don’t forget a Pouch for each of your players. Helps protect the bits, neck and mouthpiece, as well as keep players organized and accountable. See our web site for prices, product photographs, and more detail.

Got the fundraising blahs? Tired of selling candy, subs, cookie dough & magazines – the ”same old, same old?” Well, you’re not alone – your supporters are tired of it, too. There’s an easier way.
Everybody loves flowers! Selling guaranteed-to-grow flower bulbs is a real breath of fresh air for both you and your customers. Today’s environmentally conscious consumers prefer to ”go green.” They’re eager to buy earth-friendly products that beautify, rather than choke landfills with discarded magazines and food packaging.

Dutch Mill Bulbs will guide you through the easiest, most profitable fundraising program you’ve ever tried. There’s no risk! Profits are guaranteed (minimum 50%), no cash up front, brochures are free, and prizes and cash awards keep your sellers motivated.
Devoted to flower bulb fundraising since 1960, we’ve combined 50+ years of experience with customer feedback to fine-tune our spring and fall programs. Our guaranteed bulbs and plants are an easy sell – they’re all priced the same, so tabulating your order and calculating your significant profit is a snap.
What are you waiting for? Trust your next fundraiser to the flower bulb experts, Dutch Mill Bulbs. Let us help you exceed your fundraising goal with unmatched service and support. Call 800-533-8824 or check us out on the web @ www.dutchmillbulbs.com today!

For over 30 years Denis Wick has designed the highest quality mutes and mouthpieces for every brass instrument made. Denis’ career as principal trombonist in the London Philharmonic served as the perfect laboratory for his revolutionary designs. All aluminum mutes are hand spun to create the finest tone quality and the most precise intonation. Denis’ mouthpieces are designed with the same precision and are available in gold plated or silver models. Denis’ collaboration with Steven Mead, Maurice Murphy and Roger Webster resulted in equally unique and very successful mouthpieces. The new Heritage line of trombone mouthpieces are made in the style of the turn of the century resulting in mouthpieces that play the complete range of the instrument with maximum control and beautiful tonqe quality. All Denis Wicks are readily available from DANSR, inc., the North American importer.

Blessing has been an Elkhart, Indiana institution since 1906. 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 state-of-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.

With more than 40 years of history and success, Evans Drumheads, the pioneer of drumhead manufacturing and design, have set the tone for today’s drumhead manufacturers.
Evans was the first to use polyester film to form a drumhead, succeeding in creating a weatherproof head, and ultimately changing drumhead manufacturing forever. Today, Evans’ success is built around successful lines including the award-winning G-Plus, EMAD, Genera, Hydraulic, Resonant, ST, Power Center, Rock AF, Hazy, EQ Bass Drum System, Conga and Timbale, MX Marching, Strata, and Timpani heads.
A full line of drum accessories including the EQ Pad, RGS Pad, EQ Bass Drum Patches, E-Rings (tone control rings), Staccato Disk, X-Treme Patch, and tuning keys (magnetic, ratchet, torque, bit keys).
The superb sound of the heads have made Evans the head of choice for boutique drum buildiers such as GMS, Spaun, Maryland, and MRP. Manufacturers like Gretsch, Tama, Ziljidian, Ludwig, and Vic Firth have also selected Evans heads as original equipment for many of their kits.

Welcome to the new world of musical instruments! My lifelong commitment to music began first as a professional musician and teacher, then as a recognized innovator in the musical instrument business. I was inspired to create Music Factory Direct, a unique and exciting means to purchase the highest quality instruments at the very best price. I traveled the world to find dedicated manufacturers to create high quality instruments to exacting standards. I cut out the middleman to deliver a vast assortment of musical instruments and equipment. Music Factory Direct brands include Briolette, Vento, L.A. Sax, Kenny G, Eagletone, Jinyin America, Orpheo, Wurzbach, Paco, Prodipe and Noteworthy. Our collection of musical instruments will have you asking… Why Pay More???

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.

Band/Orchestra Directors… Maintain control of your instrument 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 “work-to-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.

Jazz at Lincoln Center is committed to inspiring and growing audiences for jazz. Our education programs are designed to enhance the study and practice of jazz music in and out of the classroom. The Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Program (EE) is a free resource that aims to elevate musicianship, broaden perspectives and inspire performance. Each year, students across the globe are introduced to the music of Duke Ellington and other seminal big band composers. Schools can sign up to receive new big band transcriptions, recordings, teaching resources, and quarterly newsletters, and are eligible to participate in non-competitive regional festivals and to submit a recording for the annual Competition & Festival each May. Band Director Academy (BDA) offers powerful insights into the teaching of jazz and emphasizes hands-on learning and techniques that can be immediately applied to the classroom. This multi-day professional development workshop includes classes on improvisation and rehearsal strategies, as well as jam sessions and a faculty concert. These summer time workshops are offered in New York City at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Visit jalc.org/education to learn more about these and other programs.

Band/Orchestra Directors… Maintain control of your instrument 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 “work-to-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. You may also call toll free at 1.800.525.8247.

Whether you’re a teacher or parent who wants to introduce children to music, a regular concertgoer eager to learn more, a young artist seeking guidance from established masters, or someone who can only get to Carnegie Hall virtually, the Weill Music Institute (WMI) is your portal to a richer musical experience. WMI serves some 170,000 people annually with programs and partnerships that allow people of all ages and backgrounds to explore their potential as performers and audience members. The Online Resource Center brings WMI’s extensive collection of multimedia and interactive materials to educators, young artists, and teaching artists around the country and throughout the world.
International engagement includes Musical Exchange (ages 13–19), which invites teens to connect with peers from around the world and share their musical performances through Carnegie Hall’s global online community, and the Weill Fellows program, which welcomes international teachers and administrators to New York City for a week of learning and information sharing.
Programs for artists—such as the Professional Training Workshops—give young artists the chance to learn from the world’s most accomplished conductors, instrumentalists, and vocalists.

Band/Orchestra Directors… Maintain control of your instrument 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 “work-to-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.

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.

Most musicians dream of performing on a world stage, leading their own band, or composing symphonies that will be remembered through time. For others, music is a vehicle to other goals. However, without education, experience, leadership, and a little luck, it is harder to realize those dreams.

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 high-schoolers 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.

“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 selection process receive an all-expenses-paid 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 on-field 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 music-development 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 mission, 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.”

Have you thought about your legacy? And I don’t mean in terms of reputation or trail of awards, but the impact on students and their future. Even though music teachers are among the busiest on campus – what with never-ending lesson plans, rehearsals, assessments, adjudication, field trips, concerts, shows, fundraisers, meetings, and a mountain of management – helping place talented music students in college is not something that should be left solely to guidance counselors and parents.  In fact, for students considering studying music at the next level, the music teacher may be their most influential resource.

Another way to think about it is that assisting with college placement for students who desire to pursue music participation at the collegiate level, whether in ensembles or as a music major or minor, is the ultimate thank you for all their years of practice, dedicated participation, and contribution to the success of your program.

Technology can help, too, by better motivating students to achieve higher levels of musicianship required for college placement and as a means of plugging into the network of the many college ensemble directors who are out there looking for talented young musicians to keep their programs thriving. There are a number of strategic college recruitment plans worth considering.

Self-Assessment

First, encourage private music study with weekly recordings made for student self-assessment. This will aid both short and long-term musical development. Technology-oriented motivation can be an essential ingredient. Programs like SmartMusic can do this and be an efficient management tool for the teacher, too, with MP3 files sent over the Internet to a grade book that handles the assessment and grading automatically. Recordings can also be used to assess for seating and chair challenges. Portable digital recorders are fast and easy to use. Private teachers should also be encouraged to do this on a regular basis to build accountability among those taking weekly lessons.

Share Success Stories 

Share the stories of students you helped place in college music programs and scholarships, where appropriate. As juniors, seniors, and their parents pursue college placement, it can be helpful for them to hear about the successes of other alumni. This can ease students and parents past the stresses of the present and work with a clearer vision toward long-term goals. Invite alumni or their parents to speak in a rehearsal or at parent booster meetings about their experience and what proved to be important in their successful placement process.

Audition for Honor Bands

Students should be encouraged to audition for local, state, and college 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. College-level 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.

Coordinate College Searches

Stay in touch with parents and the school guidance counselors to help guide students to appropriate colleges based on their cumulative index score of high school class ranking and ACT and SAT scores, as well as factors like distance, size, cost, and opportunities for scholarships. Never take communication for granted or opportunities will slip away.  Once a few colleges are recommended, the music teacher can begin to open a dialogue, introducing the student to appropriate 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.

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

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.

The bill cleared the Joint Committee on Education in January and will now head to the Healthcare Financing Committee. As a law, school committees be able to mandate that band programs ensure that any musical wind instrument issued to a student be sterilized using a certified product approved by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and a process established by the state’s health department. The bill’s opponents claim that the requirements are too costly for school music programs that are already in the midst of a severe budget crunch.

Laura Mulligan Thomas considers herself fortunate, and it’s easy to see why. For starters, she is now in her 30th year at her first job out of college, the orchestra director at Virginia’s Charlottesville High School. And her program is positively thriving: over ten percent of the student body plays strings, and most of those take private lessons; her groups have toured nationally and internationally; and the orchestra program is the beneficiary of a wonderful support system comprised of both school administration and private donors.

However, it wasn’t always like this. When Thomas joined the music department at CHS, she inherited just eight string players. With the help of a healthy pairing of determination and enthusiasm, that number quickly grew, peaking near its current 150 students. While some might say that Thomas was simply born with a purpose – her mother alleges that Laura declared that she would be a music teacher at age seven and never wavered – she has also undertaken a consistent and forceful campaign to trumpet the successes of her students and performing groups.

In a recent SBO interview, Laura Mulligan Thomas details the specific steps she has taken to build her program into orchestral oasis that it is today.

School Band & Orchestra: How did you end up at Charlottesville High School?

Laura Mulligan Thomas: I was very fortunate to come into this situation [at Charlottesville High School] because there were only eight students, and it’s amazing that the program wasn’t cut entirely. There was a gentleman at the central district office who really wanted to see the program flourish. He felt like if he brought in the right person, the program would grow and thrive.

SBO: What were your thoughts upon accepting a job where you had so few students in the high school?

LMT: First of all, I was only four years older than some of my students, so that was a little odd. And the players were good, so while it was a struggling program in terms of numbers, the few students we had all studied privately, and they were also excited about the opportunity of growing the program. We started with some good energy.

I have to admit that some of them were not excited about getting an inexperienced 22-year-old orchestra director, but they’re all excited and proud of what’s become of the program since that time.

SBO: What were the first steps you took to increase the number of students in the program? 

LMT: When I started out, I taught at three elementary schools and at the high school; that was my full-time job. The numbers that had been recruited for me were pretty small, only three students from one school, five from another, and eight from a third. So I knew that the first thing to do was get kids excited about playing strings and show how fun it could be. Rather than approaching it from the standpoint that orchestra is a prestigious and lofty art that only the best can ascribe to, I really look at it from the angle of how much fun it is.

I started recruiting in the elementary schools, and I think I recruited about 50 beginner students the following year and every year for several years, until the point when I became full time here at the high school, I think in 1990. The growth we have experienced was beyond my wildest dreams when I started out. I just taught music that I love and shared my love of music with the students. I said yes to every invitation to play, whether it was for the school board, a store opening, or at the mall. We just went out, played a lot, and got some attention. People were noticing that we were pretty good and we started having some students join the regional orchestra, as well.

I learned from my band director at the time, who had already been here for ten years, how important it is to tell people what you’re doing right. He would always write up a press release. Even if it was only a trophy they’d earned at a marching band competition, he would write it up and sell it. In those days it was probably typed on a purple Ditto – that was a long time ago! He would walk it to the local newspaper and say, “Hey, look at this great piece of news we have,” and maybe hand them a photo, too. Newspapers love that. They want to put good news out there. We’re the only high school in the Charlottesville schools system, and there are only a total of 4,000 students, so it’s not as if our paper would have to publish the achievements of 15 different orchestras.

Being in the small division in a moderately sized town probably helps. We’ve certainly received a lot of media attention. And we started winning competitions, which also helps. As I’ve said many times, the goal was never to win competitions. The goal was to perpetuate this fantastic heritage of orchestral literature that we have, and to pay it forward. I had some fantastic music educators who influenced me, and I come from a family of string players: my older brother plays in the Baltimore Symphony, my sister is also an orchestra director, and my younger brother sings with the Tanglewood chorus. It’s in our blood, there’s no doubt about that.

SBO: Let’s talk about your program now. The orchestra group is broken up into two ensembles, correct?

LMT: We have the string ensemble, which is 52 of the top kids who are auditioned based on the all-state requirements. The rest of the students are in the concert orchestra, which is split into three classes. That’s more of an intermediate ensemble. The only thing I do is hand-move some of the bass players so I don’t have 10 in one class and two in another. We’ve got 150 string players this year, which is more than 10 percent of the school. We have about 1,200 students total, so to have 150 is great. They are the best and the brightest, no doubt!

SBO: What are the big challenges that your program faces and that you face as a music educator?

LMT: I’ve been told by my friends that I live in La La Land, because of the community support we get here. We really have faced very few challenges. The school division is so proud of our fine arts program. This community has sent us to Europe three times. We’ve raised an incredible amount of money to send teenagers overseas to be ambassadors of the city of Charlottesville.

We also have a great collaboration with Boyd Tinsley, the violinist from the Dave Matthews Band, who actually graduated from this program two months before I got here.

SBO: So he must’ve been one of the last in a dying program?

LMT: He was, but he was a rock star even back then. Everyone talked about him when I first got here. He was very much adored and idolized. He had that big personality, even back then.

Boyd actually supports our program in a tremendous way, and I’d like to give him credit because what he does is pretty much unheard of: He gives us $25,000 a year to pay for private lessons for students that can’t afford it, for grades six through 12. We have a lot of kids in the school system that are getting private instruction early on, so that is a huge key to our success.

We have a good amount of money for instruments and to purchase literature and so on, and I felt like we were well funded before Boyd Tinsley came along nine years ago. But what his gift does is even the playing field. Because the University of Virginia is located here in Charlottesville, this town spans huge social and economic strata. We have AP students and we have a lot of kids who are on free and reduced lunch – in fact, nearly 50 percent. It’s a really urban high school. So what this gift does is level the playing field for the kids who don’t come to the program with same level of financial support.

SBO: How did that gift happen?

LMT: Boyd Tinsley called a meeting out of the blue, and we met with the superintendent. Boyd is such a generous person. He was actually very emotional when he talked about all the support that he received when he was in high school from an organization that was called the Wednesday Music Club. They had supported lessons for him at the university. He felt like it was greatly due to everyone’s faith in him that has been able to become, dare I say, the millionaire rock star that he is today. He got a chance, and others supported him.

SBO: There aren’t too many violinist rock stars, either.

LMT: Right! Absolutely. Can you imagine how inspiring this is for our students? We have signed autographs of Boyd and Dave Matthews Band posters all over the orchestra room. Of course, that band was founded here. Actually, their drummer, Carter Beauford, is also an alum of the music program. He took music theory and played in the band program here.

SBO: Also a very accomplished musician! Getting back to your program, what are some of the other practices that you’ve adopted to really put your program out in the limelight?

LMT: We’ve played at University of Virginia sporting events. I put 100 kids on the basketball court, and they played the National Anthem, which they had memorized. It was a pretty unusual event, and we received lots and lots of positive response from that. And also, there was a tremendous audience! When else can high school music students play for thousands of people at once?

I send string quartets out to store openings, any kind of holiday functions, we play for the rotary club – we accept any and all opportunities to perform. The more these kids are out there, the better the community support will be for us.

Developing relationships with private teachers is really important. You can ask them to judge or coach sectional, for example.

SBO: The private teachers are also eager for a connection to your program as well, right?

LMT: Absolutely. What you don’t want is to have your students in two different worlds, where the private teachers have a way of doing things that conflicts with technique that I’m trying to teach.

SBO: Do you ever meet with them to try to coordinate that sort of thing?

LMT: Oh, I’m friends with most of the private teachers in this area. I would say that I’m solicitous of them because I understand the importance of what they do to the success of my program. I’m very respectful and very appreciative of the private teachers my students work with.

But I also develop strong relationships with the teachers and administrators in our building. For example, I’ve been doing the school newsletter here since 1990. At one point, I couldn’t get any news in our own school newspaper, so I offered to take it over. I learned a layout program, and I’ve been doing it for a zillion years now. That helps me learn so much about what’s happening in the school, and it makes our administration want to support us because we support them.

Another thing we do is invite local government officials to concerts. For example, we hosted the all-state orchestra and bands last year, and we had the mayor open up the program. Building good relationships in the community are really critical.

SBO: Getting the good news out there and making connections really fosters opportunities, doesn’t it?

LMT: The good news is important – goodness knows people hear enough bad news out there!

SBO: For sure! Speaking of, what do you think when you hear about all of the challenges facing music and arts programs in public schools these days?

LMT: It makes me sad. I wonder if we’re not just in a down cycle right now. I hope that that’s the case, and that the cycle will turn around for the better. I hope that more people figure out that the focus on technology and testing is not the answer; that we have to feed these kids’ souls and nurture their spiritual side. And music is a fabulous way to do that.

I teach in a very enlightened community – this is the only job I’ve ever had, and I’m in my 30th year here – so I’ve been very blessed and fortunate to teach in such a supportive community. It’s hard for me to imagine what it would be like to teach in a community where the axe drops every year and people really have to fight for their programs.

SBO: However, it sounds like you’ve been fighting for your program from very beginning, with all of the advocacy and marketing efforts you’ve undertaken. 

LMT: Perhaps I’ve just been proactive about it without realizing it.

SBO: What are your greatest teaching rewards these days?

LMT: The little daily rewards are things like this young lady telling me that a piece we’re working in is her favorite piece of music ever, which just happened. I also have had some huge rewards. For example, I got to see one of my former students play with Taylor Swift at the American Music Awards. He was playing an upright bass with a beautiful German bow hold that I taught him. That was one of the most extraordinary moments of my life. I feel, as I said, very blessed and fortunate because the goal here is to great music and to foster great relationships with these students so that they want to be here. My students spend lunchtime with me, they hang out after school, they want to play in string quartets – they can’t get enough of the music, and that’s my great reward.

I should also mention that we have an extraordinary elementary and middle school program, as well. We wouldn’t be anywhere near where we are if it weren’t for this tremendous feeder program we have.

SBO: You were the feeder program for a while!

LMT: I was, that’s right!

SBO: Since then, what sorts of activities do you do to foster and maintain a healthy amount of incoming students?

LMT: The Charlottesville High School string ensemble always plays at the Buford Fall Concert, where do a piece with the middle school students, which I get to conduct. That’s wonderful. The middle school director invites us down, and we play a piece on our own and then do one in conjunction with their top middle school ensemble.

SBO: Conducting the middle school students gives you an opportunity to demonstrate what they have to look forward to at high school, right?

LMT: Sure enough. It’s a rare thing that a middle school music student won’t sign up for ninth-grade orchestra. They’re pretty excited about coming to this program.

SBO: What advice would you give to someone who might be reading this article and thinking about how to get their program moving in the direction that your program has gone?

LMT: Sell it. You’ve got to sell it to anyone who will listen. Take the kids out and be visible. Prepare performances. Chamber music, National Anthems, get the kids out there. Take them out of the concert hall and out into the community. The School Board and all the taxpayers in the community needs to know about the wonderful things happening in their school music programs.

Battery-powered hand-held and mini digital recorders are capable of making professional-quality recordings anytime, anywhere. When routinely and regularly recorded, students listen, analyze and respond with more perfect practice results. Kevin Mead, Band Director at Churchville-Chili High School in Churchville, N.Y. has observed, “My students have learned that I listen and analyze their SmartMusic assignments very carefully. This has taught them to listen to their own performance more critically and make improvements before they submit their recorded assessments.”

I’d like to share five ways in which I have effectively applied recording technology in my teaching: audition recordings; rehearsal recordings; concerts recordings; podcasts; and lesson assignments and instruction.

Audition Recording

I’ve discovered that stress levels are reduced when I regularly record students in preparation for their auditions. They become accustomed to self-assessment strategies and develop a natural ability to shine in the moment of accountability that an audition recording requires. Honor bands, summer camps and colleges routinely request recordings for their screening auditions. I have my recorder, headphones, and speakers set up and ready to go at the touch of a button. This easy, convenient, non-threatening feedback is a regular feature at every lesson. I recently recorded a student’s honor band audition, which he analyzed and compared to recordings made a week later to see what needed further improvement. Once I can get students to regularly make and listen to digital recordings, both their practice sessions and lessons are more productive.

Rehearsal Recording

For hundreds of years, verbal reflection was the primary assessment tool from teachers. Not anymore. Short, real-time rehearsal recordings can perk up ears, direct instant focus, and motivate an ensemble like nothing else. Rehearsal time is maximized beyond mere review. Now add the option of slowing down the recording, and students can clearly identify what needs attention.

Wiley Cruse, band director of Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, regularly records segments of his band and orchestra rehearsals with a Superscope PSD450 recorder plugged into his classroom sound system in his classroom for instant playback. His digital recorder lets him selectively alter the playback tempo in a split-second to add clarity to his rehearsals. This instant playback adds vital color commentary to his rehearsals and his students respond well to this rehearsal technique.

Wiley notes, “Not only do I regularly make recordings of my students, I also slow down the recordings so they can easily and accurately hear their musical and technical flaws. Often, students ‘think’ they are performing correctly, when, in fact, a recording will reveal timing problems, lack of dynamics, or poor tone or intonation problems. Recording a student’s performance, along with periodic evaluations, is key to developing good technique and practice habits.”

Concert Recordings

Concerts represent the climax of goals achieved and efforts validated. A concert need not be forgotten in pursuit of the next one. While most directors play a recording of the concert during the next class rehearsal, the ease of a digital recording can take the learning experience and ownership to a higher level. With little effort, a professional level recording can be posted as a student assignment to listen and assess in terms of balance, timing, intonation, dynamics, phrasing, and articulation. Portable mini-size recorders with wireless remote control can be operated from the podium.

Podcasts

Everyone benefits from creative lessons and adjudication comments. Take a revolutionary leap and make them available via podcasting on a computer or smartphone. Something as simple as a good interview can make a great podcast. A few months ago, I spoke with noted jazz historian Kevin Whitehead and recorded the conversation on a Marantz D620 recorder connected to the telephone. This excellent audio quality podcast entitled, “Why Jazz?” (online at: tinyurl.com/cs7fwzw) makes an excellent in-service or curriculum enrichment.

At a recent solo & ensemble festival, I digitally recorded my student’s performance and the adjudicator’s comments. These comments were worth saving for future improvement. I also slowed down the recording a bit so the student could clearly hear his intonation and vibrato inconsistencies.

Revolutions & Innovations

My students range from pre-school to adult. I’ll share how I have integrated recording technology with several students. It has been a remarkably seamless inclusion of easy-to-use technology for both lesson and practice innovation. On this article’s web supplement at www.kuzmich.com/SBO0112.html, you will find posted a number of URLs for each student to better understand how I integrated digital recorder technology to enhance individual practice.

Natalie is a semi-professional clarinet player who is looking for ways to showcase her performance at a higher level. At each lesson, I record scale exercises plus excerpts of etudes and a solo. Natalie responds to the recordings identifying what she likes and what needs improvement. She had a perplexing reed choice issue. Listening to these recordings, she more fully appreciates how quickly reeds respond, yet have darker sound. She now adjusts her reeds with reed rush to match the preferred sound with the best response. Each lesson recording becomes a blueprint for the sound she builds as she practices.

Asher is a four-year-old learning how to play the trumpet. Each week, I give his mother a recording of some important things to do while supervising Asher’s home practice. Each week, he continues to make impressive progress. Using a method book with CD accompaniments allows Asher to accurately match pitches with each exercise accompaniment. Tempos are not an issue right now, but eventually the method accompaniment will go at speeds that may need to be slowed – something that can be easily accomplished with a digital recorder that has speed control.

Robert recently came to me as a potential college tuba major who needed help to prepare for his college audition. He was playing below the level needed to reach his goals. Lesson recordings helped pinpoint what needed to be accomplished each week. To his credit, within six lessons, he qualified for two high school district honor bands and made demo recordings for four state colleges that are interested in recruiting him. His ownership of his practice is impressive to behold.

Josh is a talented high school musician who thrives on preparing for his weekly clarinet and alto sax lessons in both classical and jazz music. Following each lesson, I send him home with an attached file of specific recordings from him to analysis and improve. His progress has been substantial and he earned first chair clarinet in his school’s symphonic band. Four days before a concert was the first time I had a chance to work with both Josh and his pianist on the Weber Concertino. I spent two hours coaching them and made two recordings resulting in a substantially improved performance without any further interaction with me.

Cliff is a middle school alto saxophone player who has never played jazz. He had no concept of performing swing rhythm patterns, which he needed to learn for a school jazz band audition. I made a recording demonstrating how to authentically play the middle school jazz band audition music with swing. Cliff listened to it and attempted to vocalize the swing rhythms correctly. His older sister, Sabrina, could sing the rhythm patterns accurately and was able to help Cliff perform. The audio recording was a good listening model. Cliff was instructed to listen, sing and then practice with the recording. Cliff made remarkable progress and, a week later, successfully auditioned for his school’s jazz band.

Sabrina is a freshman in high school but has been playing only a year. Because of her limited experience, she benefits best by listening to me perform her band parts, so she can more quickly learn the rhythms. She brings the music from school and I record it and e-mail it to her for her to practice with. Surprisingly, she earned first clarinet in her high school concert band.

Michael recently had his solo & ensemble performance. Listening to the recording of his performance and the adjudicator’s summary comments, he was able to improve his vibrato and intonation limitations.

Joey is a member of a local high school band program in which his band director regularly has students transcribe a jazz solo for a grade. They must notate the solo and play along with it. One particular Miles Davis solo was extracted from the original recording and I recorded it at a slower tempo to help him transcribe and play-along with it, which actually turned the exercise into a fun experience.

What’s Hot in Portable Digital Recorders

The market has dramatically improved since my last article on this subject, which appeared only two years ago. Hand-held digital recorders are better and cheaper. Microphones are also improving at an incredible pace. Many new devices now include features like looping, larger VU metering, and an array of possible audio file recording formats included, generally for less and less money.

Most portable digital recorders can record with two channels in uncompressed digital WAV or a compressed MP3 or WMA file format, which I recommend for web postings because the files open quicker and required less storage space. Because of technological advances, there are no significant differences between consumer and pro-quality digital recorders; it’s their playback options that you’ll want to check out. The less powerful amplifiers in the portable digital vocal recorders can be overcome with external speakers or a PA system if and when you need to playback for large groups to hear.

For a good voice-oriented recorder, look at the Yamaha and Sony recorders. Olympus, Sony, Edirol, Zoom and Marantz offer excellent music-oriented hand-held recorders. Superscope, Tascam, and Roland make the best mini-size portable field digital recorders for using XLR and quarter-inch microphone cables and ultra high audio quality. I prefer one with a hard-disk drive for more storage and transfer data capabilities. The Superscope PSD450, for example, has three ways to exchange data from their internal hard disk drive: USB port, built-in SM card (SD card), and via a CD burner. These options are very handy and fast for data transferring to a computer for post-production editing. Their 400 series models also have battery capabilities giving you more options as well as remote control to record and manage the recorder from the podium.

The compact R-05 by RolandUS is easy to use, affordable, and packed with big-ticket features that raise the bar in its price class. You get crystal-clear 24/96 capture, enhanced recording and editing features, and extended battery life (over 16 hours per charge). On stage, in rehearsal, at school, or on the street, R-05 captures music at pro levels.

Sony has introduced some powerful voice recorders that challenge professional level handhelds. The ICDUX512 has significant improvements, like the micro SD card for expanded RAM memory and adjustable microphones. The maximum recording time is three hours using the built-in 2GB flash memory, and battery life when recording in Linear PCM is 21 hours. It comes with a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery that can be charged with a USB connector and a computer, both PC and MAC.

The PCM-D10 by Sony is a 96 kHz/24-bit recorder stereo microphones, 4GB flash memory and a Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo slot. It is made out of rugged, lightweight aluminum and can record up to six hours. The recorder includes a USB high-speed port for simple uploading/downloading its native .WAV format files to/from Windows PC or Macintosh computers.

Recording from Computers

Can desktop and portable computers substitute for portable hand-held and min-size recorders? Yes, if you don’t mind going through a few more steps with the software, plus transporting more equipment such as notebook, microphone stands, microphones, power cords. The advantage of computers is that post-recording editing capabilities are significantly superior to what you will find on dedicated digital recorders. At a recent family recording session, my son-in-law recorded performances using a Macbook Pro with Garage Band 6.0. He then enhanced the recordings with some very basic and standard reverb and compressor effects. When I asked why he choose to use reverb and compressor effects, he stated “There were slight flaws in the live recordings. With Garage Band 6.0, I was free to do a number of other things in the post-production to enhance the quality of the original recordings.”  For examples of these recently recordings, go to www.kuzmich2.com/music/2011.html.

Closing Comments

There is no limit to how you can apply the revolutionary technology of digital recorders at all levels of instruction with vocal, strings, band, and general music. More remarkable is the ownership and progress students will experience. The incredible convenience of these devices lets users record anytime, anywhere. Assessment is a plus toward motivating students when they can instantly hear and critique their performance. Have fun motivating your students and building ownership of their performance. Digital recording is a dynamic teaching tool for upgrading your instruction.
