Phase 2• BUMP Musicology After-School Class, 2015-17:The 18-week After-School Class is an expanded version of the Workshop.After launching the after-school class in the Triangle, we will expand the Workshop to the Triad. Phase 3:Tunedln, 2018& beyond: Tunedln is a program of instructional courses and performing ensembles.There will be options for private lessons,group lessons,small performing ensembles and large performing ensembles. Instruments include band/orchestra instruments, voice and African Diaspora instruments(e.g. Mbira,Steel Pan). Tunedln students learn and perform arrangements of music designed fortheir skill level. BUMP Musicologyand Tunedln are topically coordinated with each other.After launching Tunedln in the Triangle,we will expand the after-school class to the Triad. BUMP develops and produces,and will eventually market,its sequential curricular materials, along with implementation&assessment tools.This collection of unique curricular resources is the engine behind BUMP Musicology and Tunedln. PARTNERSHIPS:Strategic partnerships are an important key to our success. We have a partnership with Duke Memorial United Methodist Church that provides a cash grant, free office space,free program space,staff support,volunteers and board members.A team of graduate students from the UNC-CH Library Science Program completed a workflow project that created the system we use for tracking lesson development and materials. Duke University Law School's Community Enterprise serves as our legal counsel,and oversaw the move from MA to NC.We partnered with Durham Congregations In Action and are hosting a YO:Durham high school intern for the 2013-14 school year.This past summer,a music education doctoral student from UNCG interned with us and helped write a set of logic models to guide curriculum development, instruction and assessment.A team of professors and graduate students from UNC-CH, Duke and UNCG are currently creating an assessment program to gather,interpret and report the data needed to determine the efficacy of our model. In addition to institutional partners,Chapel Hill community members support the BUMP vision in significant ways.Thus far, over one hundred-fifty people have attended BUMP fund/friend- raising houseparties (with live entertainment)and more events are planned. We have received pro bono professional services from a business planning consultant,three graphic designers,a website designer,a videographer and a marketing consultant.About forty volunteers have contributed to the project over the past six months.
