Professional Inquiry Project Proposal
Starting a Drumline Ensemble
PIP Action Plan What will you accomplish? (Goal statement)
Research Question: What methods can be utilized to develop the percussive skills to be a drumline instructor?
I will create a website that contains links to various resources (including video, rhythmic exercises, ect.) that will assist students and educators in developing rudimentary percussion skills (snare, bass, and tenor) as well as fundamental drumline playing positions. This website will also include administrative advice for educators that are interested in starting a drumline program at their school. What does it look like when youve accomplished your goal? I.e., How will you know you have achieved your goal? What are the indicators of success or progress? (Assessment) The finished product will be a weebly website that contains administrative advice for music educators regarding how to start a drumline ensemble, as well as video tutorials that will assist educators and students in developing the basic skills required to play the three fundamental instruments in a drumline ensemble (snare, bass, and tenor drums). Timeline: (By when?)
Dec. 3-7, 2014 Rationale: Why is it important? Creating a drumline ensemble is important because it creates an avenue for music education that may spark the interest of students that are not interested in a traditional instrumental ensemble. In todays schools, the number of students participating in music education is declining. In my opinion, creating a drumline ensemble will result in more musical opportunities within a school, which will then in turn increase the overall number of students participating in music education.
