DocuSign Envelope ID:C4DAF5FC-8B52-4557-B62F-2082B23CDD20 <br /> Project Goals I have two main goals: <br /> 1) The students in my jazz combo class are very new to improv. Of <br /> my class of 13, only 2 of them are veterans. This means, of course, <br /> that 11 of them are brand new to improv. I have been working with <br /> them so far in the school year, but I would love to have a jazz artist <br /> come into my virtual classroom to help them develop strategies that <br /> they can use to build their improv vocabulary so that they feel less <br /> inhibited as they approach solo passages in their jazz charts. Of <br /> particular concern are my two drum set players who are brand new to <br /> jazz from a rock background. While this isn't a new phenomenon, I <br /> would like to help them develop an ear for jazz. Bringing in a jazz <br /> specialist would help to build their skill sets. <br /> 2) By watching the clinicians, I feel that I would become a better <br /> teacher by feeling more at ease in teaching improv to future classes. <br /> Cirruculum and Jazz band is a class offered at my school and not a club like would <br /> Enrichment be the case for many schools. The jazz combo course follows NC <br /> Standard Course of Study Objectives and adheres to the national <br /> curriculum objectives as well. <br /> Audience Description This class is 10-12th grade students, mostly caucasian with about <br /> 25%asian students. This year's group is mostly male with one <br /> female. <br /> Artist Description I would like to bring in Avery Linderman to assist with this project. <br /> Avery Linderman is a jazz guitarist, but also has extensively studied <br /> jazz drum set during his time as a jazz studies student at UNC-Chapel <br /> Hill. Currently, Avery is a founding member of the Avery Linderman <br /> quartet that, pre-pandemic, has regularly played at the Sharp Nine <br /> Gallery. After graduating from the great jazz program at Panther <br /> Creek HS, Linderman went on to study jazz at UNC-Chapel Hill with <br /> Jim Ketch and has since gone on to create his own band. I would <br /> love to bring in Mr. Linderman because he was highly recommended <br /> and because of his experience, he can address both the needs of the <br /> melodic instrument players as well as drum set players. <br /> Are you hiring No <br /> multicultural artists <br /> with the requested <br /> funds from this <br /> grant? <br /> How will you I will monitor my student's ability to perform the scales/arpeggios of <br /> evaluate the success the pieces of music that they are working on as well as solicit <br /> of the program? feedback from Mr. Linderman as to the level of involvement from the <br /> student-musicians themselves. It will be a mixture of formal and <br /> informal assessments. <br /> PROJECT/PROGRAMPlease fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and <br /> BUDGET income.
