What can we do to preserve this important music history today?

What do the groups we review have to say about it? In 2021, we invited 3 groups we had reviewed (Simprints, Nvak Foundation, and Mary's Center) to give some "feedback on the feedback" in a session moderated by our founder's mom that includes a live musical performance. If you have ever been curious about what the proposal authors we review have to say about our program this is the session to watch. (Video is 1 hour long). https://lnkd.in/giPbCiyK

Should we change our brand after 50 years? Need my LinkedIn peeps to help with a challenge we're having at a non-profit. We are a music organization that mostly presents contemporary singer-songwriters. It's very cool music that the masses would like. But our name is The Folk Project (folkproject.org). We're concerned that the word "folk" doesn't connotate what we present and may turn off potential new attendees. Are we wrong in that concern? Does the word Folk translate to stale old music vs exciting new? We're weighing the brand value we've developed over 50 years - do we lose by more by changing the name than we gain by something more contemporary? Would love your thoughts.

What business development lessons can you learn from going to see Black Uhuru? I had the pleasure of going to a reggae gig with Steve Davies and Andy Green FRSA at the Camden Jazz cafe in London last night. 5 BD lessons learned: 🕺Music connects people. A diverse audience enjoyed the event connected by a shared love of reggae. 💪Adapt or die. Today there are few members of the original Black Uhuru line up. Despite the change in personnel the sound and spirit remains the same. ⛓️💥Engage, Engage, Engage. The experience of live music should feel different to listening at home. The band know this and engage their audience with energy in their performance. 😊Give your audience what they want. Black Uhuru repeated the fans favourites because that’s what they wanted. 💉Positivity is infectious. Look like you want to be in the room. #relationshipbuilding #businessdevelopment

Starting from Scratch | Children’s Choirs and Funding So you’ve had a chat to your parish priest and your fellow music ministers and you’ve agreed that your parish needs a children’s choir. What do you do next? What are the first steps to founding a parish children’s choir? Developing a budget First, establish with your parish priest and pastoral council what level of support the parish is willing to provide: what funding will be provided, what personnel and what other support will be committed. Put together a plan outlining what will be expected of the choir, the director, manager, other volunteers, resources, rehearsal spaces, funding for regular celebrations and recognition, awards, Christmas party and so on. Develop a budget and be realistic about the figures. Once you have established the Choir’s financial base, you will be able to determine which roles will be remunerated and which roles will be filled by volunteers.

Don't put your children on the stage? Why, certainly you should! Think of every way you can to link things up and create mutually supporting structures to benefit young singers. My current roles combine running the Junior Choir in the parish church, leading the local choral society and volunteering at a (RC) primary school. I do what I can to make this a virtuous triangle. My church and school choirs share a lot of repertoire - motets my choristers use at Family Communion are sung again at school Mass. Shared membership across the two children's choirs means I get twice as much rehearsal time with many of them in a week. And of course there are opportunities for cross-recruitment. My choral society concerts now start at 6.30pm, early enough to invite members of both children's choirs to sing in a slot at the beginning of the first half - some music on their own (always appropriate to the theme of the concert as a whole) and some with the adults. When the interval comes round, and they can leave with their families if they want to, it's not beyond too many bedtimes. In our next concert, young string players will also join our professional ensemble for a couple of pieces sung by the children. Providing this additional platform for the children acts as a showcase for what we're doing in church and school, and a means of recruiting - visibility in the town for activity that would otherwise be largely hidden. Choral society concerts also finish with a retiring collection for Purbeck Youth Music, the local charity that provides instruments, subsidised group lessons and workshops for young players. So adult musicians and their audiences are able to support the next generation, not only with platforms and performance opportunities, but with financial investment. What do you do to create such beneficial networks across your own areas of activity? Who can you partner with, to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts?

🎵 What would be on your playlist if you had a concert at work?🤘   Last week, we threw one of our best events ever - Playlistapolooza!    The C+R Research office was transformed into a music paradise as our employees rocked their favorite band merch and jammed out all day long! 🤘🎵   But this wasn't just any ordinary office party. We created a company-wide playlist filled with songs our creative and thoughtful employees requested. And guess what? We used our love for music to impact our community positively, trading songs near and dear to our hearts for small donations. In so doing, we raised money for the incredible Merit School of Music, helping to provide music education to Chicago's talented youth!   In the end, this event brought us all together, sparking fantastic conversations and building connections like never before! We learned so much about each other's musical tastes, and let's just say, we have some serious playlist curators in our midst!    So, here's the deal: we want to know YOUR must-play song for your company's epic playlist! 🎶 Drop it in the comments below, and let's keep the music train rolling! 🎧🎵    #Playlistapolooza #MusicEducation #ConnectingThroughMusic #CRResearch #ChicagoJobs #MRX #MarketResearch #BestPlacesToWork
