Be sure and save the date for our 2nd annual Triple Door event on February 29, 2012 (yes, it's a leap year).
Along with providing a hosted Happy Hour and food served by the renowned Wild Ginger Restaurant, the Children's Music Foundation will be debuting the First Note Music Curriculum for the first time at this event so you won't want to miss it!
First Note Music Store Takes Shape
Each lesson in the First Note program takes place in the First Note Music Store which is a studio creation being constructed and installed this weekend for filming next week. The lessons begin with a shot of the store front (draft version featured below) and then the participating classrooms "enter" the store where Miss Melody and the Music Friends are waiting to teach them their lesson for the week.
OK, so it's not an actual store but don't tell our classroom students that! Special thanks also to Mills Music for their generous contribution of instruments and other store props to make this an authentic experience for students across the country.
Behind the Scenes
Along with Director Jerry Dahlberg, We are extremely fortunate to have Assistant Director Leslie Van Ee (both pictured below) working on this project with us.
Leslie's credits include work with CBS, NBC, Spelling Entertainment, and Warner Brothers. She assisted in producing "Bill Nye the Science Guy" with Disney and KCTS as well as many other programs that included working with kids, making her uniquely qualified to show us the ropes on this project.
