To provide guidelines and resources for music education programs and administrators facilitating the re-structure and delivery of quality instruction during the COVID -19 era and beyond.
Our Task Force is preparing information and documents which will arm the director and administrator to maintain band in our schools.
The HSBDNA has partnered with national organizations to provide you the most current and valuable knowledge and information. Research is being at present to determine SAFETY MEASURES for students.
Please be advised, these are working data and provide a fluid presence of information.
The Task Force Committee is working on documentation which will serve as a BLUEPRINT TO THE BAND DIRECTOR AND ADMINISTRATOR for maintaining Band in your schools.
This document will give focus to the following areas: A MODEL INSTRUCTION TEMPLATE FOR YOUR BAND: SCHEDULING SCENARIOS; PRESCRIPTIVE TEACHING METHODS; REMOTE TEACHING; and CLASSROOM SETTINGS AND MANAGEMENT
We are partnered with the College Band Director's National Association; the Women's Band Director's International; US Bands; and others to be named later.
