As I think more about the music club project, I think to myself how to find the best ideas to execute, and that is by creating a team who is interested in the idea and hold a meeting kind of like the MakeSense meetings. We go over every aspect and brainstorm ideas, writing them all down on a whiteboard, and then assign positions and responsibilities. If I make this a pretty official and well-organized plan, people will be willing to work together to get this to work.
The club description: Project One is to spread music education by connecting volunteer musicians (college or high school students) to underprivileged kids who wish to learn music, preferably kids from a schools that no longer has a music program. The idea is to provide kids who can't afford music lessons free music lessons from volunteer musicians. The volunteer musicians will be trained by a music teacher on how to teach (with funding or without). This program could work out as an after school program or as a center. It will receive help through a partnership with music programs or schools that already exist in the area. Musical instruments and books will be provided through funding and donations. In starting the club for simplification purposes, the focus of lessons will be on the most popular instruments such as piano keyboard, guitar, and singing ,etc. For innovation purposes, the volunteers will also teach students how to use the internet and technology to practice their music as well as continue their music lessons. How long a student gets to keep having lessons has not yet been decided, and many more points must be further evaluated.
My second project idea is here: The project idea number 2 will focus on E-waste. It will gather volunteers (college or high school students), especially those who have interest in the environment, to work to educate the city on the consequences of toxic waste. In addition to education, it will work toward influencing the government to create stricter regulation on the e-waste we can commit as well as fund more programs toward the education and the collecting of goods that can be recycled and reused elsewhere.
It will be called The Nola Deux Something Club
