Artist: Liberty Brass

liberty brassJoin the Band! is a fun and exciting program designed to encourage elementary students to get involved in music. Students will hear music that they recognize and enjoy, including movie soundtracks, cartoon music, patriotic favorites, as well as great selections from the classical, jazz and folk genres. The striking sound and visual presence of a brass quintet grabs students’ attention immediately and opportunities for student volunteers and guided questions engage students throughout the performance. Students will identify different brass instruments, recognize a variety of musical styles and will be involved in the music-making process: keeping the beat and conducting. This is a great program for recruiting students to join the band!

    A Whirlwind of Collaboration

    Two densely-scheduled days this November marked the fruition of a collaborative project two years in the making, designed by Gateway to the Arts and the School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University. The goal was to assist the graduate chamber music ensembles at CMU in developing dynamic outreach programs for public school students grades K-12. Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, project coordinators Lisa Hoitsma of Gateway and Dr. Natalie Ozeas of CMU enlisted the expertise of the Grammy-nominated African-American woodwind quintet, Imani Winds, known world-wide for their high-quality outreach programming that focuses on excellent musicianship, audience participation and repertoire.
