New project

The task I have been set so far is to produce a product for the music corporation Music to live.

Remember that music to live is a made up company, this means it can be whatever I want it to be about, below I have detailed bullet points on a similar sounding organization called Music for life.

Background research on Music for life:

*Education in music

*Non profit

*Established in 1995

*Set up for music tuition in Cheshire schools.

*Bishop Heber High School - first establishment.

*Now operates in 113 schools in: Cheshire West and Chester and East Cheshire, Wirral, Stockport, and Staffordshire.

*Aim to offer as many children as possible the opportunity to learn a musical instrument.

* Opportunities to for Students to take part in motivational music groups, workshops and concerts.

*Bursaries available for children of a low income household/ struggling with financies.

*3,500 children currently having music lessons every week across schools involved.

*The convenience of lessons taking place in school hours rather than parents having to worry about taking them back to school hours later.

*Teachers must meet strict standards, demonstrably successful teachers, must be adept in planning, punctuality, communication and organization, must meet the criminal record bureau check.

*Continuity of teaching, MFL teachers tend to stay on for many years, meaning a child who learns with a teacher at primary may be able to continue with the same teacher in high school.

*Value for money, course fees may be paid in monthly installments.

*The opportunity to learn a variety of instruments from trombone and saxophone to guitar and drums.

*Groups: Junior Orchestra - Y3 - Y8 playing at grade 1 or above £45 a year if not a member of MFL, Cheshire Youth Big Band - grade 7 students in music £10 a term wishing to play in a Jazz group ,Guitar Ensemble - Y4 - Y8 regardless of how long they've been playing £45 a year ,Senior String Group - logical progression from Junior Orchestra for Violin viola cello or double bass to grade 4 or above £45 a year.
