21st Century Public Academy is a full inclusion K-8 public charter school, currently seeking a Modern Band teacher for the Middle School grades.
Course Description:
"In one form or another, every student deserves to experience a music education. It has been proven through numerous government and university studies that music enhances a student, not only socially, but physically, and academically…across-the-board. Music students learn how to perform as individuals as well as part of unit, developing individual skills while at the same time creating harmony and synergy, and while having fun!
At 21st Century Public Academy, our students experience music in a decidedly non-traditional way. We are one of few schools in New Mexico that offer a comprehensive curriculum in “Modern Band” or popular music. Rather than the traditional school offerings of concert band, orchestra, or chorus, our students learn through producing and performing in the popular genres of rock, pop, folk, country, R&B, and blues. From classic to contemporary, if it’s on the radio, record, CD, or online…we can do it! While learning to perform on guitar, bass, piano/keyboards, drums, and vocals, our students are immersed, from day one, in the process of producing and performing popular music in the context of a working band. Every student even has access to their own online digital production studio to start creating and composing with high end digital tools at their disposal right on their computer."
