1 Annual Report

2 Letter from the director Dear Friends and Supporters, After closing out six years of programs, and five years of my time here, I can truly say I am very proud of everything that this organization has accomplished. This past year, our program included five after school programs, four in-school string programs, and two K-4 general music programs. Make Music NOLA had a great year - including workshops with musicians from the international 1Beat tour, performances at the ACE Hotel, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and live on WHIV. We started our first string quartet and had our first ever orchestra rehearsal with Northshore Strings. Our Sanchez Center students even played their first ever wedding gig for one of our volunteers weddings. Moving into fall of 2017, over 75% of students in our after school programs are returning. We now have two chamber music groups and a large ensemble that rehearses two Saturdays a few times a semester. This August, Make Music NOLA will host the Crescent City Chamber Music Festival for performances at our in-school programs, and participate in a VIP Day at Conn-Selmer, Inc., along with representatives from nine other music and culture organizations in New Orleans. We ve got performances planned at more exciting venues and events in New Orleans, including A Studio In the Woods Forestival, and our annual music and art showcase with YA/YA. Thank you all for your support! Without our community, we would not be able to do the work we do! We are very excited about the future, especially our move to the Artspace building in 2018! Sincerely, Laura Patterson, Executive Director

3 Program Overview Mission Make Music NOLA is an intensive music-for-social-change program. The mission of Make Music NOLA (MMN) is to promote academic achievement, cultivate artistic expression, and promote the healthy growth and development of children in New Orleans through culturally relevant music instruction and performance. History Make Music NOLA began in September 2011 under the name Youth Orchestra of the Lower 9th Ward with only five students. Since then, the program has expanded to nine locations, including four in-school programs and five after school programs. Vision Training competent, engaged musicians Creating access through performance opportunities Forming a strong, supportive community Building up the confidence and musical ability of our students so that they can be competitive applicants to local and national programs Inspiring all students to achieve their greatest potential and think big Curriculum Make Music NOLA s curriculum focuses on New Orleans traditional jazz, while introducing students to pop, hip-hop, and classical music. Our string curriculum is coordinated by outstanding jazz violinist, Matt Rhody. During their first three years in the program, MMN violin students learn Saints Go Marching In, I ll Fly Away, IkoIko, I m Walking, A Closer Walk With Thee, among many other tunes. MMN uses the Suzuki method book for teaching the basics of string playing.

4 Student Profiles Louis, Violinist, McDonough 42 When I asked Louis, a second grader at McDonogh 42 Elementary, if he had some words to live by, he responded without missing a beat, Do your best and you may succeed in life. Clearly this seven year old already knows quite a bit about how to live. He follows his own advice when it comes to athletics he likes to run track and play basketball, baseball and football and also with music. This year, Louis and eleven of his classmates have begun taking violin lessons from veteran Make Music NOLA teacher, Matt Rhody. Louis has taken to the new instrument. His face lights up as he tells me how the class has been working on playing an A scale in a Mississippi River rhythm pattern. When I asked Louis what his favorite thing about being in violin class is, he replied, It is special to me because I get to learn a new instrument. Louis says that when he gets older he would like to play in the NBA or be a musician. Whatever path he embarks on, he s sure to be successful. As he says, he already knows the way. - Jordan Peota Louis and Mr. Rhody gettin' it right! Kahzi and violin strike a pose Kahzi, Violinist, Harmony Oaks Nice to meet you Kahzi, are you married? joked guest teacher Tom Bracy. Nope, just engaged, replied ten-year-old Kahzi, without missing a beat. I jotted down the anecdote and added razor sharp humor to my mental list of Kahzi s surprising qualities. I started this list during a conversation I had with Kahzi just prior to Tom s visit. Here s what I learned: Currently a rising sixth grader at Morris Jeff, Kahzi has his sights set on NOCCA, a prestigious performing arts high school in New Orleans. Having recently toured NOCCA with his fellow Make Music NOLA students, he told me that he was impressed with how you get to do your own thing there, an important consideration for such unique student. I asked Kahzi if he would like to study violin at NOCCA and he said yes, but he would also like to continue to create visual art. He went on to tell me that his preferred mediums are colored pencils, pastels and occasionally markers. Of course, he prefers pastels because of their ability to blend colors. I file budding illustrator next to musician and scholar. Kahzi s younger brother Nasir is also a Make Music NOLA violinist. Kahzi and Nasir are stand partners and often play duets together. I guess you can add role model to the list! We at Make Music NOLA wish him the best in all his future endeavors and will always have his back though he should probably postpone that engagement for at least a few more years. - Jordan Peota

9 The Future Make Music NOLA is planning to expand our services by offering private lessons, additional opportunities for chamber music, and additional large ensemble rehearsals on Saturdays. Next fall, Make Music NOLA will move our administrative offices and add additional after school programs at the Bell School Artspace building in the Treme. We plan to expand our after school programs in the classroom space at Bell. This will allow MMN to establish a home base and accept additional students in our string program. Although Make Music NOLA has many national partners and contacts, travel is often cost prohibitive for our staff and students. We hope to increase our involvement at the national level over the next few years. We appreciate your support and we hope that you will continue to support the growth and expansion of our programs as we continue to provide high-quality, tuition-free music education to students from low income families.
