Week 3 was a breakthrough week in the course of my summer project! I talked to four families and confirmed that their children will be participating in a pilot program for the curriculum I am designing. My interaction with the school and my research has led me to decide on an initial class for this curriculum, a “Basics of Music Creation” class. This will initially be for children ages 12-16 with at least a year of private instrument instruction. I am starting this class with four, to be expanded to eight this fall. I also found an instructor for the fall! How exciting that this is actually happening!
