Five Minutes of EnrichmentW
ouldn’t it be wonderful if the students in our schools were exposed to fi ve minutes of classical music every day? We’ve all seen the clinical studies touting the benefi ts of listen-ing to and performing music, and now the New Bedford (Mass.) Symphony Orches-
tra has set up an interesting program called “Music in the Mornings,” which provides “fi ve minutes of famous compositions at the start of every academic day,” according to a report on the Web site SouthCoastToday.com. The intriguing aspect of this program is that the students in grades 2 through 6 hear the same fi ve-minute music clip each day for fi ve days, but the dialogue is changed daily to direct the listener’s attention to different aspects of the repertoire. There are 36 different compositions introduced to the students throughout the school year, help-ing them gain exposure to a wide variety of music from different periods and composers, including Mozart, Bach, Stravinsky, and others. It’s easy to imagine the kids picking their favorites, talking with other students about them, and perhaps even asking their parents to
buy the pieces on iTunes. The benefi ts to this unique program are multifold, as it not
only helps the children, but also aids the orchestra. Students have a brief respite from their normal day and their attention is redirected to the musical performance. It may calm them and help them focus on the music as well as the other tasks ahead for the day. Additionally, studies have shown that an education in music and exposure to classical music may help to foster bet-ter academic scores on a variety of standardized tests.
For the orchestra there are increased revenue opportunities and visibility, as the ensemble is compensated $3,000 for each school that signs up for this fi ve-year program. They currently have over 32 schools signed up for this program with the New Bedford orchestra, so the total revenue fi gure is currently $96,000. “Music in the Mornings” has been launched nationally with a variety of orchestras and currently has over 2,000 schools involved. This is certainly a very important stream of capital for orchestras, especially during these times of decreased ticket sales and reduced grants and subsidies from the business community. It is easy to see the benefi ts of selling this subscription to a wider audience by a variety of orchestras nationwide.
In a previous editorial, I wrote about a director who simply played a CD of music as his students were fi ling into the band room in order to expose them to different styles and compositions. The program from the New Bedford Symphony is geared more toward a younger audience, although the concept could certainly be adapted to the middle- or high-school student, and also could be set up to include different forms of classical, jazz, opera, or serious contemporary music.
Just a bit more knowledge, understanding, and appreciation for music could mean a more rounded and successful student and help to increase future audiences for orchestral music performance. You can fi nd more information on this program at: www.nbsymphony.org/ed_outreach.html.
“A bit more knowl-edge, understanding, and appreciation for music could mean a

Purdue Drumline Endorses SilverFox
The Purdue University Drumline now endorses SilverFox drumsticks and mallets. First appearing on the West Lafayette, Ind., campus in 1886, the acclaimed Purdue Drumline provides the band’s pulse-pounding heartbeat,
led by its world famous “World’s Largest Bass Drum.”
The SilverFox line of marching sticks for snare drum, bass drum and ten-ors compliments the high-energy playing style of the Purdue Drumline. Dura-bility and consistency are the true tests of marching bass drum mallet quality. The SilverFox SFX Com-petition series features a 5/8” diameter premium hickory shaft with taper to provide players with a sturdy mallet that sustains superior balance and con-trol.

NAMM Foundation Seeks ‘Best Music Ed Communities’
Where are the best com-munities for music edu-cation? The ninth an-
nual “Best Communities for Music Education” (BCME) survey, spon-sored by the NAMM Foundation, is searching for school districts that support music education and in-clude music education offerings as part of a complete education for all students.
The NAMM Foundation is cur-rently accepting online submissions, and will remain open through early March. The survey, which can be completed by visiting the NAMM Foundation online, is open to any-one — parents, teachers, school ad-ministrators, community members — who wishes to enter information about their school and community.
The Best Communities effort surveys a community’s actions and commitment to music through cri-teria that includes budget, staffi ng, variety of programs, instructor cer-tifi cation, availability of private in-struction, and other relevant items. The results are measured propor-tionally, so that communities of dif-ferent sizes are compared equally. The survey’s supporters encourage school district or community mem-bers to complete the survey them-selves, or to pass it along to school administrators and educators in their communities who may best be able to supply the required data. Following an audit of the prelimi-nary data, the 2008 survey results will be announced on March 25.
To access the survey or fi nd more information, please visit www.nammfoundation.org.

Talk Isn’t CheapSBOFrom the Trenches
The 2008 Presidential Campaign, Music Education and YOU!
We are now well into the 2008 campaign for President
of the United States. Many of you who regularly
read this column know that Music for All works
tirelessly to elevate music and arts education as an
issue on this largest of stages that will infl uence the direction of
our nation. These efforts, combined with the efforts of many of
our national partners have paid off… handsomely.
In the 2000 and 2004 presidential primaries and general elections there was never any mention about the im-portance of music and arts education. Not one. Maybe you could fi nd a sen-tence or two in a position paper. But there was never any mention on the campaign trail, during debates, or in major interviews.
For 2008, the issue is everywhere. And this is a welcome and important change… because what is said during the Presidential campaign does matter. I’ll tell you why in a moment. First, let’s take a look at a small sampling of what is being said:
Barack Obama“One of the fi rst things I would
do is to modify No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Part of the reason that you’re seeing pressure on arts programs and music programs in the school is that No Child Left Behind is structured where the success of the school is measured entirely in terms by what happens on those high stakes standardize tests.”
“Increasingly you’re seeing more resources funneled into remedial and basic math and science to get test scores up and away from art and music. That’s part of a bigger problem. Which is I don’t think we are assessing schools ef-fectively under NCLB. I think we have to have an assessment that include a test… but it has also has to includes peer review. It also has to include what
SBO_14 14 2/4/08 5:03:42 PM
School Band and Orchestra, February 2008 15
is called a growth model so that were measuring what happens during the course of the school year. Right now, if a child comes in and they’re three years behind, and at the end of the year they’re only one year behind, that school’s actually done a very good job. But it wouldn’t show up on No Child Left Behind. They would be still la-beled, potentially, as a failure.”
“If we can change those assessments then once again we will be emphasizing arts, music, literature, social studies, for-eign languages, the things that provide a well-rounded education for our chil-dren.”
John Edwards*“I think what we have to recognize is
that we are all different and all students are different. Some students are extraor-dinarily academically gifted. Some stu-dents are athletically gifted. Those who are athletically gifted — because athletics (football, basketball, baseball, et cetera,) are revenue generating activities at the college and university level — they tend to get what they need without much concern. But, if you’re talking about the arts… if you’re talking about music… if you’re talking about painting, any of those areas, there are a lot of young people in America that that’s where their talent is. That’s where their interest is. That’s where their passion is.“
“Here’s the way I think we should think about this and America needs to hear this. If you think back on past civi-lizations, civilizations from hundreds or even thousands of years ago what is it you remember about them? You re-member their contribution to the arts. That’s what you remember. You want to talk about the lasting impression that the world will have of the United States of America during our lifetime? It will be whatever we did to contribute to the arts… and we need to be contributing to the arts.”
“Because I believe so strongly in the importance of the arts I will ensure that we at a national level are provid-ing incentives and funding to help promote the arts both in public school and in colleges and universities.”
Bill Richardson* “I would scrap No Child Left Behind.
It doesn’t work. It is a fl awed law… not just an unfunded mandate but the ‘one-size fi ts all’ just doesn’t work.”
“I would emphasize science and math and to make sure that our kids that are not scoring well in science and math – 29th in the world – to unlock those minds in science in math… I would have a major federal program of art in the schools… music, dancing, sculpture, and the arts.”
“Arts education is not a silver bullet, but it is a lighted bridge. Students who engage in the arts are more likely to get involved in community and charitable work. These students also perform bet-ter in the classroom. I will substantially increase investment in arts-in-education programs. I will pay for musical instru-ments and music teachers in underserved communities around the country. The federal government will offer extra
matching funds to states that draw up their own comprehensive art programs.”
Hillary Clinton“I understand that strong arts
programs are part of a well-rounded education that helps enrich the next generation of America’s leaders and develop their abilities to think cre-atively and independently.”
“Since 2002, I have spoken out about the need to reform No Child Left Be-hind. However, in implementing NCLB, school systems are diminishing access to the arts. The federal commitment to arts education must be strengthened so that the arts are implemented as a part of the core curriculum of our nation’s schools and are an integral part of every child’s development.”
Mike Huckabee“I want to provide our children what
I call the ‘Weapons of Mass Instruction’ – art and music – the secret, effective
SBO_15 15 2/4/08 5:03:47 PM
weapons that will help us to be competi-tive and creative. It is crucial that children fl ex both the left and right sides of the brain. We all know the cliché of think-ing outside the box: I want our children to be so creative that they think outside the cardboard factory. Art and music are as important as math and science because the dreamers and visionaries among us take the rough straw of an idea and spin it into the gold of new businesses and jobs. It is as important to identify and en-courage children with artistic talent. Our future economy depends on a creative generation. Arts education inspires the creative genius in our children.”
“For the fi rst time we at least recog-nize (in NCLB) that the arts ought to be part of the core curriculum. Let’s take it now to the next step. Lets ensure that in everyone of the 50 states it is a part of the offering. And that’s something that in Arkansas it meant that we had to get it through the legislature and get it passed. And some would say, ‘But when you mandate something is that a good thing?’ Yes, it can be because what we force we fund. What we don’t force we don’t fund. I would suggest that it’s important to force it because it’s important. And if we force it we fund it and if we fund it we elevate it and we make sure that there is no child left behind when it comes not just in music but to dance or to art or to whatever form of artistic creative talent that a student may in fact have.”
So these are just a very small sample of what the candidates are saying – and not just once or twice, but thousands of times in debates, in speeches, in policy papers, and in media interviews… heck we even have Governor Huckabee who can’t walk by a bass guitar without picking it up, strapping it on and jamming with ev-eryone whether it is an elementary jazz group or the Tonight Show band!
“Why Should I Care?”Some of you may say to yourselves:
“So what?”Well, the December 31st issue of
Newsweek addressed this point very clearly. They were writing an article about the importance of what presiden-tial candidates say because it is a win-dow into the policies of the future:
Education is another area ripe for sleep-er issues. In early 2007, when he was an as-terisk in the polls, Huckabee distinguished himself from the rest of the Republican fi eld in part by discussing the importance of art and music education in the schools. He explained how right-brain development is important not just to enrich the lives of students but to inspire the creativity neces-sary to help the United States keep its edge in the global economy.
At about the same time, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson sounded the same note in his stump speech as part of his call to end No Child Left Behind. Huck-abee’s surge has little or nothing to do with this fresh idea, and it won’t resurrect Richardson’s campaign. But both Clinton and Obama now mention the subject by way of explaining why they think No Child has tilted too far in the direction of testing. It’s a strong applause line. Don’t be surprised if a lot more money for art and music turns up in an education bill a couple of years from now.
The lesson is that some of what’s said in presidential politics really matters, even if the candidate saying it doesn’t win. So the next time you see a contender blo-viating on TV about some minor thing, stop and listen. That little proposal he’s mentioning might be pilfered by another candidate, one who winds up in the White House. Then watch what happens when the throwaway line you heard months or years earlier leaves a footprint so deep, even a podiatrist would be impressed.
Could supporting music and arts education in our schools be our nation’s “next big thing?” Based on history and this year’s crop of presidential candi-dates, I would not bet against it.
* Editor’s note: At the time of this printing John Edwards and Bill Richard-son are no longer candidates in the 2008 Presidential campaign.

2008 marks the 39th anniversary of the Marching Band Workshop. This program, along with the Leadership Training program focuses on teaching your students how to be better band members by giving them the op-portunity to work with the best in the busi-ness, including Tim Lautzenheiser, George Parks, Thom Hannum, Michael Cesario, and many more! The Leadership Training Work-shop emphasizes building the skills needed to be effective in a leadership position. Students learn the basics of these skills and how to ap-ply them when working with their peers. The Marching Band Workshop provides an oppor-tunity for you and your students to learn about contemporary marching techniques through sessions geared specifi cally for directors, drum majors, color guard members, percussionists,
instrumentalists, and twirlers. Learning the skills from those who teach the best bands in the country, students leave the workshop with a better understanding of what it means to be an integral part of an ensemble. The George N. Parks Drum Major Academy is a featured part of the Marching Band Workshop and is intended for drum majors or students inter-ested in becoming one in the future.

The Bachelor of Arts in Music Education degree program at the University of South Carolina Aiken is offered by the Department of Visual and Performing Arts in collabora-tion with the School of Education. This de-gree allows students to specialize in either instrumental or choral music and receive K-12 certifi cation. Faculty members are experi-enced practitioners who refl ect a wide range of expertise in music theory and composition, early childhood and secondary music, and instrumental and vocal pedagogy. Music edu-cation majors take a balanced proportion of general education, professional education and music courses. The goal of the degree program is to prepare teachers who are skilled musi-cians with the ability to foster aesthetic un-derstanding, communicate the importance of musical culture, help all students reach their maximum potential as musicians, and achieve high professional standards. The curriculum for the Bachelor of Arts in Music Education degree has been carefully developed based on standards set by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Educa-tion (NCATE).

For over 100 years, Wittenberg has ex-celled in preparing students for music careers. Wittenberg’s music faculty includes distin-guished performers, composers, and authors.
Wittenberg’s Music Department has been a member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) since 1931.
Wittenberg is one of the only small col-leges in Ohio to offer three different under-graduate degrees in music:• The Bachelor of Music degree provides
concentrated study in performance, church music, or composition to prepare students for professional careers.
• The Bachelor of Music Education degree focuses on teacher training for choral, in-strumental, and general music, leading to certifi cation for public school instruction.
• The Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Mu-sic allows students considerable fl exibility in course selection in music history, music theory, and applied music. Students often combine this degree with a major or mi-nor in another discipline, such as manage-ment or psychology.
• A music minor is also possible. Wittenberg music ensembles are open to
all Wittenberg students, regardless of major. Auditions are held during the fi rst week of fall semester. More than $100,000 in funding is available for music scholarships, which are available to all students regardless of major. Auditions are held during spring semester.

Altus Co., Ltd. has been handcrafting and hand-fi nishing artist-level fl utes in the moun-tains of Azumino, Japan since its establishment in 1981. Combining creative materials with traditional infl uences, master fl ute-maker and headjoint sculptor Shuichi Tanaka has created a modern fl ute with a colorful and elegant tonal character. Recognized throughout the world for superior precision and superb intonation, Altus has become the fl ute of choice for many performing artists, orchestral professionals, and educators.
The Azumi fl ute by Altus features the Z-cut headjoint. The Azumi offers pre-professionals the opportunity to purchase a well-designed Britannia silver fl ute with a high-end headjoint at a remarkable value. The Z-cut headjoint by Altus combines dramatic tone with delicate agility, ensuring a performance unique to each fl utist’s style. The Z-cut allows increased pro-jection and quicker articulation. A wider, rect-angular shaped embouchure hole offers relaxed response and creates a big, open sound.
Altus is one of the few manufacturers of professional fl utes that offer several mod-els fi t for advancing students to step up to a professional level fl ute. Model numbers 807 through 1107, as well as the Azumi fl ute, al-low students the opportunity to purchase a quality professional fl ute.

Bois LigaturesP.O. Box 90Mountain Home, AR 72654(870) 421-4996FAX: (870) 424-5781Web site: www.boisligatures.com
A non-screw ligature is available for clari-net and saxophone from Bois Ligatures. They made their international debut at the Clarinet-Fest 2004 and the Midwest Clinic 2004 where they received rave reviews. The ligatures are endorsed by Lomax Classic Mouthpieces and Gennusa “Excellente” Mouthpieces.
For beginning players, simplicity is key. The non-screw design of the Bois Ligature has been deemed “simplicity at its fi nest.” They are the band directors’ choice, and directors are replacing the old screw ligatures with these throughout their school programs.
Advanced players like the rich, round sound they give. With minimal reed contact, only at the outside rails, these ligatures pro-vide excellent reed vibration. The ‘free-feel-ing’ allows greater fl exibility while playing.
The design is fashioned from the concept of the string ligature, which has been long believed to be the best for sound quality, but is diffi cult to use. The ligatures are made of Delrin, a resil-ient, solid material. A rubber o-ring fi ts in the inner groove, which prevents it from slipping and provides cushioning against the reed.

With the 1981 acquisition of the Ka-plan Musical String Company, D’Addario launched a revolution in the research, de-velopment and production of bowed instru-ment strings. With an in-house research and development staff and testing laboratory, the D’Addario family has added a full line
of bowed instrument strings to its string-making tradition.
Eight distinct product lines within the D’Addario bowed string family provide the right string and tone for every player. The Kaplan Golden Spiral Solo line is made of gut core and recommended for professional and serious violinist; it’s available in fi ve tensions. The Kaplan Golden Spiral line is also avail-able but is not gauge-selected; Kaplan Solu-tions strings solve specifi c problems faced by professional players. Kaplan Solutions strings are available for violin, viola, and cello.
D’Addario’s Zyex line of strings offers synthetic material closest in tonal charac-teristics to gut but have better recovery and are not affected by changes in humidity or temperature. The popular Helicore line of violin, viola, and cello strings are perfect for professional and advanced students and of-fer a warm, clear sound with excellent pitch stability and longevity.
The Bass series of Helicore strings are available in Orchestral, Solo, Hybrid, and Pizzicato.
The D’Addario Pro-Arte nylon core strings are a match for serious students and amateur players with a warm sound for vio-lin, viola, and cello players alike. The Pre-lude line for beginning students is a solid steel core string that offers durability with a bright sound.
Fractional sizes are available for violin, viola, and cello in the Pro-Arté, Prelude, and Helicore lines.

For over 30 years Denis Wick has de-signed the highest quality mutes and mouth-pieces 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 fi nest tone quality and the most precise in-tonation. Denis’ mouthpieces are designed with the same precision and are available in gold plated or silver models. Denis’ collabo-
ration 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 com-plete range of the instrument with maximum control and beautiful tone quality. All Denis Wicks are readily available from DANSR, inc., the North American importer.

nothing’s more important than the
music. And Bari synthetic reeds
are a simple change that can make
a show-stopping difference. They
offer your students better
response and control. And
because they’re synthetic they
can’t warp or squeak, regardless
of the conditions outside. Help

level faster by recommending
Bari. It’s one less thing you’ll
lose sleep over.

With more than 40 years of history and suc-cess, Evans Drumheads is the pioneer of drum-head manufacturing and design have set the tone for today’s drumhead manufacturers.
Evans was the fi rst to use polyester fi lm 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 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, ratch-et, 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, Ziljid-ian (380th Anniversary Snare Drum), Ludwig, and Vic Firth have also selected Evans heads as original equipment for many of their kits.

did not like the taste of cane reeds. The com-pany’s goal was to produce a premium cane reed that played well, eliminated the wood cane taste, and gave the reed a pleasant fl avor. After eight years of research, Flavoreeds per-fected a method without changing the play-ing characteristics of a premium reed. Some players have suggested that Flavoreeds play better due to the process, which fi lls the pores of the reed.
Flavoreeds are produced in 10 different fl avors, in fi ve different degrees of strength, for clarinet and alto sax. They are packaged two reeds to a twin-pak. A clarinet twin-pak retails for $3.50, and an alto sax twin-pak for $4.95. Tenor sax reeds are available in tri-paks for $10.95. Flavoreeds can be purchased through selected retail music stores and at www.fl avoreeds.com.

For 40 years, Vic Firth Inc. has produced the best drumsticks and mallets available. Through ongoing improvements in material selec-tion, 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 opera-tion to ensure the highest quality product. From the sawmill, only the fi nest logs are cut into squares and dried to an exact moisture content in kilns under closely monitored conditions, which pre-vents 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 dimen-sional tolerance.
After fi nishing and labeling, the sticks are rolled again for straight-ness, hand-sorted for color consistency and then sent through a pro-prietary computer pairing system. The exclusive process measures the weight, pitch and density of each stick and compares the vari-

They must be humidified.Since your reeds and a million dollar violin areboth made of wood, they need humidity to performtheir best. That's why when you go into any violinshop, you'll see a humidity balanced room where theystore their best violins. Your reeds deserve the sametreatment. If you treat them like a Strad, they'll playbetter. Keeping your reeds between 45% and 70% humidity will make them sound better, be moreresponsive and last longer. That's why Vandoren created the revolutionary Flow Pack packaging and thenew Hygrocase - the Flow Pack will make sure you get your reeds in perfect condition and theHygrocase will help you keep them that way. Your instrument doesn't have to cost a million dollars, butgood reeds and lots of practice can make it sound like it does.For more information on Flow Packs, go to www.WhyVandoren.com.

Northeastern Music Publications Inc. is the young band specialist. All its music is for grades one and two. Music can be played by both large and small ensembles with a full rich sound. All of its music is written by and/or edited by music educators. It is fun to play and each grade level is written within guidelines so a grade one composition can be played in the fi rst year.
Available for numerous instruments, Notes & Strings fl ashcards have been on the market since 1986. The fl ashcards were designed by a music teacher to help students learn note reading and fi ngering in an easy and fun way, and to help students learn the names of the actual notes they are play-ing instead of fi nger numbers. They are colorful, durable, easy to read, and they work. Here’s what some customers have to say about Notes & Strings fl ashcards: “My students’ sight reading improved quickly.” “They worked out great! I’m a (33-year-old) beginner and was spending too much time referring to my fi ngering chart instead of focusing on playing the pieces of music. It took a couple of weeks, but I now know all the fi ngerings and notes by heart!” “My son used his fl ashcards to learn the songs his teacher assigned at school. His teacher was very impressed.” “I highly recommend this great quality merchandise.” Check Web site for teacher discounts.

X Marks the SpotWhen I have kids start as percussionists, I draw a circle
on the center of their practice drum pads by tracing “Mr. Moore’s magic quarter.” I then put X’s on each side of the
circle. Before they start their studies in the practice book, the students need to be able to do 25 right-hands and 25 left-
hands, hitting the X – not striking more than one inch above or below. This has helped our beginning percussionists play
better than students a year ahead of them.
