Outreach Programming Ideas:
Performances/School Tours
Secondary music students can visit feeder schools to perform a set of music and talk about the music programming offered at the local secondary school
Provide an opportunity for elementary students to ask any questions they might have, speak to the music teachers, and current students of the program
Elementary students could also come watch a performance at the local secondary school; opportunities for outreach and fundraising
Extension opportunities: Instrument workshops where secondary students can be mentors to elementary music students and lead instrument specific workshops. This provides small-group instruction and more opportunities to connect in a smaller setting
Joint Rehearsals
Elementary students can be invited to partake in weekly Concert Band/Mass Band rehearsals at the local secondary school
Gives elementary students an opportunity to tour the local secondary school, play more challenging music, and form meaningful connections to the students currently enrolled and the music teacher(s)
Collaborative opportunities, practicing leadership skills, hands-on learning, mentorship, inspiring learner interest
Extension opportunities: Elementary students are invited to perform the repertoire they have been working on throughout the semester at the Winter or Spring concert
