Although Pensacola Christian College and Academy maintain many unique strength, but some weakness become obvious under globe business setting. One of the biggest weakness which is the core reason for this proposal that is foreign to many people. Three separate but similar surveys had been conducted during research. Three international students group from Asia are Chinese, Indonesia, and Korea. Twenty-five people from each group had been asked to answer to a same questions: “How do you know about Pensacola Christian College?” The results of surveys indicate that on one ever heard any advertise about Pensacola Christian College before they came.

Throughout the reading this week, the information presented in David Elliott and Bennett Reimer’s texts stressed the importance of music and more specifically, music education. “People everywhere find music rewarding, and everywhere we find people engaged in formal and non-formal efforts to teach and learn music.” (Elliott, 2014, p. 4)

Located in St. Martinville, LA and includes 25 acres of beautiful scenery, the young Christian girls who attend will have a wonderful place to become rooted, grow and mature into the young women they should be, not delinquent.

On April 11th, 2017 in the Louis Armstrong Theatre, I attended the GVSU “University Band”. This up-beat ensemble lasted about 90 minutes; the talented students of GVSU’s university band joined together to perform multiple different songs ranging from a Waltz to a Dixieland Jamboree. All of the songs that the band played for the audience were all well-known, popular songs that they all enjoyed. Having the opportunity to attend this concert has opened new musical paths for myself and has allowed me to enjoy and kindly critique something that I perhaps would have never had the chance to otherwise.

This is a short essay written by Keymyrly Sanjurjo, on the history of Delaware State University, and its band program.

Imagine a third grader, small and blonde, standing on a stage that practically swallows her. She gazes in awe at the bright lights that seem to tower miles above her head; likewise, she follows with a stare, fixating on the hundreds of darkened faces that remain directly in front of her. Unlike her classmates who fidget with nerves beside her, she feels a rush of adrenaline. What may have seemed to some an ordinary choir concert in a dull auditorium, was, to me, a life changing moment. Ever since this day, for 9 years now, I have had an unwavering passion for music and performing. As I aged, I found myself excitedly learning how to play 7 new instruments, but even considering the vast number of bands, orchestras, choirs, and instrumental lessons that I joined, I noticed myself

Our children are suffering. They are being depleted of their childhood because they are experiencing things that many of us do not experience in our lifetimes. When entire neighborhoods and districts are plagued with this devastating predicament, where can our children turn? They turn to school. A place where they are allowed to be kids and do not have to face reality of their lives for a moment. Rachael Fleischaker is a music specialist in Ohio’s Canton City School District. She understands what these children go through because she teaches them every day. Moreover, she understands that music is a vital part of these children's lives and wants to do everything she can in order to save the musical program at the schools.

George Helmholtz, as the head of the music department at Lincoln High School, is very determined with his regular students and the gifted musicians of the band. Each semester and year at school he dreams of “leading as fine a band as there was on

This is Faith Cox and welcome to my section leader essay. As you may know, I am now a junior in the Lewisburg band program and maintain the position of second chair in the French horn section. Last year I applied as a sophomore, and I can confidently say I have not only gathered more experience over the past year, but I have also become even more passionate about band. That passion has led me to once again apply for section leader. However, this time I am much more matured as a musician, and I am eager to see my section succeed as they have in the past and help them in any way they may need.

As the name of the organization points out, you are a member of a choir and, therefore, are first and foremost there to sing and learn music. I speak

What is something I could do to impact the school in a positive way and how could I accomplish that? That is a really good question, what I would do is help tutor kids in band, preferably percussionists. Basically I would come in early or stay after school and help them learn notes and where the notes are. This could totally help band kids by boosting their grade up or even becoming first chair. They could then learn that then get so much better and be great musicians. This is a good idea that could totally work in the band room and for the positive impact.

In Beginning Jazz Band there are seventeen students total. There are three females and fourteen males. Out of the seventeen students, two are African-American, two are Hispanic and 13 are Caucasian. After speaking with my mentor I learned that the socioeconomic status of the school overall is not very good. Around 75% of the students attending Topeka High are on Free or Reduced lunches and he estimated that about 50% of the students in his class are on Free or Reduced lunches. Along with this, only two students take lessons because they are the only ones who can afford to do so. We were informed that one students has had continuous stays in jail and most students

Much too often in America today, modern music and art programs in schools are perceived to many as extracurricular activities rather than important subjects that are vital to a students learning and skill development. The truth of the matter is that encouraging music and art education in public schools has a much larger impact on student’s grades, academic performance, and the economy than the majority people realize. Within the next year city school budgets will be dropping by twenty five percent, and despite the fact that music and art programs have been showing a dramatic contribution to student’s learning, this substantial drop in funding for the programs will lead to no dedicated money for art or music programs (Mezzacappa). There is

Across the United States many elementary school music classrooms are filled with simple and popular tunes such as Hot Cross Buns and The Ode to Joy, played on the recorder, while high school students may be playing collegiate or professional pieces of music such as Armenian Dances and Carmen Suites. I have been very fortunate to have gone on the journey of progressing through different music education programs within Fairfax County Public Schools. If I was never exposed to music while in elementary school I might not have ever found one of my greatest passions or been able to create such fond and unforgettable memories. While music education programs across the country appear large and strong, many schools are beginning to experience budget reductions. As a result, music is often the very first component of a school 's curriculum or programs to be cut or significantly reduced, but I believe this is not the right course of action. It is important to preserve and promote music education in public schools because of the proven cognitive, character,and academic benefits for students.
