Keep the Music Playing! FAU FOUNDATION DEPT OF MUSIC AUGUST 2020 - AUGUST 2022
Advanced Music Education majors from FAU worked with 195 students in 5 middle schools and 7 high schools in southern Palm Beach County to provide students with focused instruction. The goal was to improve student musical skills, self-esteem, and motivation. An additional goal was to encourage students to remain in school. When in-school instruction by FAU was not possible due to COVID-19, the program was modified to bring hundreds of students from partner schools to FAU’s Boca Raton campus for in-person lessons, clinics and side-by-side performances. This included a February 2022 event with more than 200 KTMP! students on campus over two days. The Keep the Music Playing! program culminated in two week-long band camps on FAU’s Boca Raton campus in June, one for partner middle school students and one for partner high school students. 195 students participated in the camps, taught by a team of 28 FAU music education students, music professors and public school teachers. At the end of each week, the students performed a concert for family, friends and the public in the FAU Auditorium. As of October 2022, retention rates for the students engaged post-pandemic was 100%, with all 195 participants remaining in music programs and in school.
