HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The Howard County Public School System has partnered with the University of Maryland School of Music to enhance student participation, achievement and retention in countywide music programs with the support of university students and faculty. The UMD School of Music will collaborate with HCPSS music staff to provide outreach opportunities to HCPSS schools including mini-residencies, coaching students for auditions, judging student adjudications and providing side-by-side performance opportunities with university school of music faculty or students. A new pilot program will support HCPSS elementary instrumental music teachers in Title I schools by offering small group instructional band and orchestra support, providing feedback for student performances and working with students to support differentiated needs.
