Description
McNeese State University Department of Performing Arts integrated a service-learning opportunity in partnership with the Maplewood Middle School band program in the fall of 2010. The beginning woodwind class is comprised of sixth-grade students that have no prior instrumental knowledge. The Band Director is responsible for teaching all instruments without the aid of an assistant director. Incorporating service learning into the beginning woodwind class has allowed the McNeese education students an opportunity to provide assistance to the band director with one-on-one lessons, group sessions, and daily classroom setup. This session will discuss the expected and unexpected outcomes of the past three years of service learning.
