Not being able to PERFORM together! Students are seriously missing the "TOGETHER" factor!

I would like to remove the word "electives"  from VAPA
I would love to see that every student has VAPA as part of their curriculum, not as an "optional" choice - the optional part could be WHAT in VAPA they decide to do, but every student should have VAPA every year!

Can we run partial classes in person & have devices available for others not in person, at the same time?

The HS may not have a down turn in attendance yet.  If we are not able to come up with a way for our students to perform and restructure our classes to a different kind of music class, we will loose students. When I Zoom with my kids, they say how much they miss singing together, not how much they miss the theory or history part of the class. The lessons on theory & history enhance the performances. The most valuable pert about being in choir/band is the performance.

The bit about not playing/singing together...

How do we still keep what we have that IS great, that's traditional, and keep looking forward.

Do we scrap the large ensemble rehearsal every day and go to a rotating lesson schedule like the East Coast?

The new technology and apps that were accessible were helpful - but will we have that access? Not free after this period?
- perhaps INCREASING BUDGET to help support the technology we will need?
- Music Technology Coordinator/coordinating!

If our program is going to look completely different, how are we going to be supported in that when it comes to communicating that to the students?

What is our outcome now?  As a teacher, knowing this, helps me plan.
As a parent, this helps me help my kids.
As a student, this helps me figure out my purpose for learning.

Are performance-based music classes still going to be supported when all of this settles? There are groups rooted in the culture of the school (i.e. marching band). I am trying to keep the kids in mind when making decisions.

Record each ensemble.  Put together/post a video concert.

With the size of our classes larger than the "normal" classroom, I wonder what the restrictions would be just on class size. How this affects schedule etc.

(Besides virtual choirs!)
Recorded performances
- OUTDOOR rehearsals? performances?

# data[].attributes.body
- Can't rehearse in large group
- no space to space out
- sound issues, especially at the Middle School level
- Students NOT choosing large group classes now, and choosing independent-type classes, like art or photoshop
- Performance-based is now no longer the outcome

# data[].attributes.body
What happens to our programs when we get back to some sort of normalcy? I say this more with if we go the route of completely changing how and what we teach, do we stay non-performance based beyond this time?

# data[].attributes.body
what kinds of shifts would we have to make in parameters to solve the issue?

# data[].attributes.body
Building CTE programming and connecting MS/HS is a prioritized goal in our district. Can we start with the arts? Thoughts...

# data[].attributes.body
As ideas to change parameters bubble up, thing about the new skills and culture a year of hybrid learning might create. How might this open up opportunities for Arts Education?

As you consider designing instruction for this fall in a "hybrid" format, sans trips/assemblies and with necessary distancing, what obstacles come to mind?
