Project Title: Modern Band Minneapolis 2024-2025
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Music Will is honored to introduce our Minneapolis Modern Band program to the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation. The requested grant of $10,000 will help us expand access to inclusive music education through Minneapolis-focused programming which will provide popular music education to as many as 4,200 students during the 2024-2025 school year. <\/p>\n
Founded in 2002, Music Will now serves 507,000 students across the US with student-centered, culturally responsive music education through the efforts of 2,385 Music Will teachers. By removing traditional barriers, we bring access to music-making to schools and students who may not have it, especially those in historically marginalized communities. We presently have a network of 18 teachers in Minnesota who have been trained at our national workshops and currently bring modern band to approximately 4,400 students statewide. <\/p>\n
During the 2024-2025 school year, Music Will is partnering with Minneapolis Public Schools and other Minneapolis area school districts to launch our sustainable modern band program by identifying and hosting a cohort of at least 20 Minneapolis educators to train through our Modern Band 101 introductory workshop. This six-hour training in a classroom setting gives teachers hands-on experience in our method which emphasizes skills such as approximation and collaboration for immediate success on contemporary instruments. With ongoing support from our Teacher Services team, regularly updated curricular resources, continued professional development opportunities, and access to a supportive network of modern band educators, Music Will helps set our teachers up for success after their first training. This workshop has the potential to almost double our student impact, growing our reach to approximately 8,600 students across Minnesota.\n<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $40,000<\/p>\n
