Fundraiser And Grant Writer Volunteer Positions
Blues and jazz musicians receive very little - if any - media coverage. Even in light of current focus on Blues and Jazz.
The New York Blues and Jazz Society exists to foster awareness of the significance of these musical genres, and grow a base of supporters. Grants, sponsorships, financial and other means of assistance are needed to fuel the educational and informational programs, and to promote working Blues and Jazz artists in the Metro New York / Tri-State area.
We need creative, energetic individuals who love the music to spearhead our fundraising efforts to ensure these national treasures make it through the 21st century and beyond. Got ideas? Let's talk! Contact [email protected].
Music In The Schools Program Administrator
We believe that the educational / musical experience is essential to the youth of our country. As budgets get slashed in these hard times it is imperative that we as a community step up to the plate. Our ideal candidate could have some current or prior association with the public school system or knowledge of extra curricular musical programs but it isn't our top requirement. Our top requirement is a love for kids and music, that simple! Responsibilities for this position are two-tier:
Initial contact with appropriate School Board Members, developing a school-specific program, and negotiating and presenting a final proposal.
The second step is to act as liaison between school contacts and musicians that want to be a part of the program.
Your love for the music and your commitment to help start an interest in blues and jazz among young people are key to the success of this project.
NYB&JS music programs are tailored to fit school-specific budgetary and curricular requirements. The number of musicians (solo - quintet) participating in the demonstration, and frequency (one-time assembly or series) are optional. Lecture and performance content can be modeled to focus on one or more musical eras geared to a school's particular music or history curriculum.
Help ensure the future of America's musical heritage through Blues and Jazz music programs in our schools! For full information please contact [email protected].
