管柱教育及外展
串外展计划
The String Outreach Program is an educational program supported by the Friends of 音乐 (under the auspices of the Foundation for Grossmont & Cuyamaca大学s) to further string education programs in San Diego’s East County Middle and Senior schools.
PURPOSE: Withmany areas encompassing San Diego’s East County providing music education
beginning at the Senior School level (Grade 9), e.g., Santee School District, the
string outreach program is designed to aid the East County High School music instructor
in providingmuch neededstring pedagogy to string students. With the majority of
instrumental instructors not proficient in playing a string instrument, the members
of the Grossmont Symphony String Quintet (professional artist/teachers), providemuch
neededinstruction on how to better perform required orchestral literature for music
festival participation and school concerts.
FORMAT: Each workshop performed by the members of the Grossmont Symphony String Quintet
includes:
- mini string performance by the string quartet (@5 minutes) to allow students to assess the musical abilities of the string quartet
- mini ensemble performance by the school’s string orchestra to allow the members of the string quintet to assess the ensemble'sabilities
- break-out sessions--each string principal taking their respective string sections to a different room to work on specifics as they see fit (@20 - 30 minutes)
- tutti (students/quintet) rehearsal with string orchestra (String quintet musicians sitting in the middle of each section playing along with your students)—as conducted by the school orchestra conductor.
All instrumental music instructors in previous years have found this type of format highly successful in motivating the student to performrequiredliterature at a more proficient level. The workshop experience ultimately leaves the student with a greater sense of confidence in practicing/performing musical literature.
With the majority of middle and senior high school students unable to afford private lessons, a minimum of two site visits per academic year is recommended. COST: $400 per workshop
SCHOOL PROGRAMS: La Mesa MS, Valhalla HS, Helix HS, Grossmont HS, Patrick Henry HS,
West Hills HS, San Diego School of Creative & Performing Arts.

to grow professionally and is eager to learn from her classically trained peers in
