Schedule E, Part I, Line 4 Race is not considered in Teton Music School enrollment, scholarship awards, employment or contract work. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Schedule O Additional Narrative The mission of Teton Music School (TMS) is to provide accessible music education and exceptional music experiences, and the vision is to be the heart of music education and performance experiences for our diverse community in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Jackson Hole had been home to many well-established organizations dedicated to other art forms, but none dedicated to music education. Even with a vibrant local music scene, students struggled to find music teachers, and professional music instructors struggled to afford the high rent in Teton County or secure suitable places to teach. Many capable musicians were discouraged from establishing a teaching practice. TMS was founded in 2019 to fill this music education gap and provide local music educators a stable and inspiring place to teach and collaborate. In a short time, TMS quickly became a vital part of the local arts community. TMS is a Resident Organization of The Center for the Arts (Jackson) and has an enrollment of more than 200 students and a roster of 14 instructors, demonstrating a true desire for high quality music education. By removing a significant barrier to entry quality teaching space TMS has enticed more musicians to teach and has increased the number of active teaching professionals in our community. Creative, collaborative partnerships with local organizations extend TMS' reach beyond the halls of The Center and into the community. Private Instruction Youth and adult students enjoy a diverse range of lessons working one-on-one with professional musicians to learn guitar, bass, piano, ukulele, drums, voice, woodwinds, violin, viola, cello, songwriting, music production and more. Teachers meet each student where they are, whether they want to learn a favorite song or to play at the top of their game. In 2021-22, 254 students were given 1:1 music lessons, totaling over 5,468 classes. Group Classes/Ensembles Performance opportunities and social learning are a key component of a well-rounded musical education. Teens with experience on a musical instrument or singing can hone their performance skills in rock bands coached by TMS Instructors. Students can learn to compose in digital production classes where they explore the latest production technology and are guided to create and record their own songs. TMS' growing ensemble program added a middle school rock band in addition to our High School ensemble. Options for elementary students were also added: group ukulele and bucket band (street drumming) for a total of 32 students participating in five ensembles and group classes in 2021-22. Summer Camps Weeklong day camps bring music education to kids K-12 in the summer months. 95 students participated in seven music summer camps and two summer ensembles in 2021-22, including rock bands and a collaborative, multi-arts camp. Camps are project based, each culminating in an event or performance of the students' creation. Summer strings students performed alongside professional musicians on a professional stage at Grand Teton Music Festival. Children K-2 created homemade instruments from found objects, learned basic musical concepts and performed in a "Junkestra" offered in partnership with Art Association of Jackson Hole. Creative Partnerships Creative collaboration enriches not only our halls, but the entire community. In 2021-22 TMS worked to strengthen newly formed partnerships with other local organizations to reach broader audiences. With a board-certified Music Therapist on faculty, TMS began bringing music therapy onsite to community members with special needs at Teton County School District, Community Entry Services, Teton Youth and Family Services. After completing a certification in Creative Aging, TMS partnered with Senior Center of Jackson Hole to introduce a new program for adults ages 55 and older, Uke55, a ukulele group designed to encourage music making, continued learning and socialization among the elder population. New Horizons The end of the 2021-22 school year saw TMS' first-ever all-school showcase, TMS Fest '22. With TMS having formed only three years ago just as the COVID-19 pandemic was starting this was the first chance most of the students had to play in front of crowds. Rather than a formal recital, the event was set up as a festival, with multiple stages performing simultaneously in an open space, and the lineup included everyone from novice 6-year-old singers to octogenarians playing ukuleles. The event exemplified TMS mission of accessibility and exceptional experiences, and set an annual tradition in motion. Our local newspaper wrote a review stating that the event elicited tears of joy and, "the talent on display at the Center for the Arts could not be denied or ignored many of the musicians will continue to entertain and enchant their community for years or decades to come." Scholarships Scholarships are available to all students in partnership with local service organizations, and every effort is made to connect any student who wants to learn with music. The focus of all TMS programs is to engage students of all ages as active participants in learning to play, create and perform music.
