The NAMM Foundation Supports New Initiative In State of Indiana that Celebrates Kids and Their Love of Music
Indiana-based Music for All collaborates with state’s major orchestra and top music school to produce new Finding the Groove Concert Series
The NAMM Foundation will be supporting the world premiere of the Finding the Groove™ concert series in Indiana, which is designed to celebrate kids and their love of music.
Running September through October, the series is being hosted by the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and Music for All, and will feature live multimedia concerts and online social networking from the executive producer of the Peabody Award-winning HBO documentary series The Music In Me, created by executive producer Leslie Stifelman.
Finding The Groove™ is a virtual world where kids aged seven to twelve, from diverse cultural and regional backgrounds, and who are instrumental musicians, composers, singer songwriters and vocalists of all styles or genres, will be able to come and share their musical stories by uploading and sharing videos on a safe network designed for them. A handful of those kids who submitted the most exciting videos online will be chosen to be part of the Finding The Groove™ concert series.
Children invited to join the Finding The Groove™ world premiere concerts will be given the opportunity to perform live onstage with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and ensembles from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. Some children will also be invited to perform solo, or with their bands or musical friends or families. Video clips from other amazing submissions will also be shown during the program, all illustrating how every child is on a path towards finding their own “groove.”
The world premiere of Finding The Groove™ is an Indiana statewide initiative in partnership with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, and Music for All. This program is also made possible by the support of MusicCrossroads. Finding The Groove™ marks the first statewide collaboration between one of America’s major orchestras, one of the world’s most highly respected music schools, and one of the nation’s most prominent music education organizations, all of which call Indiana home and are uniting to celebrate the important role music plays in the educational development of Indiana’s youth.
The Finding The Groove™ partners will work closely with many other Indiana organizations that understand the importance of music in the lives of Indiana’s youth including the Indiana Arts Commission, Indiana Music Educators Association, Indiana State School Music Association and the Indiana PTA.
