Programma di Fisarmonica e Borse di Studio in programma in Alabama - USAby Harley Jones |
![]() |
![]() Craig Funderburg e l'Alabama Accordion Association chiedono ai fisarmonicisti di sostenere questa opportunità per istituire un programma di fisarmonica presso una grande università degli Stati Uniti. Craig scrive: "L'Alabama è già conosciuta come la "Million Dollar Band". Il programma di fisarmonica potrebbe essere la "Million Dollar Accordion". Il programma ha bisogno di "impegni" di $ 3,5 milioni, il che equivale a circa 7000 appassionati che impegnano $ 500 ciascuno. Al momento non vengono raccolti fondi. L'Università non inizierà ad accettare fondi fino a quando non saranno stati presi impegni sufficienti per garantire il successo della specializzazione in fisarmonica. Sono già stati ricevuti impegni verbali da importanti fisarmonicisti come Grayson Masefield, Cory Pesaturo e Michael Bridge che potrebbero partecipare come professori attivi o in visita al curriculum di fisarmonica. Ecco un'opportunità filantropica per suscitare interesse pubblico nella fisarmonica e fornire un'istruzione avanzata della fisarmonica per aspiranti musicisti di fisarmonica. Puoi commemorare un coniuge, un familiare o un collega con un lascito vivente. Ancora una volta, in questo momento, sono necessari solo impegni. Si prega di prendere impegni su https://www.accordionpledgeua.net. Nessun importo è troppo piccolo. Apprezziamo sinceramente il vostro supporto e la vostra considerazione." Questa proposta sarà discussa anche durante la convention della National Accordion Association (NAA) a Dallas, in Texas (dal 18 al 20 marzo 2020). Sharon Seaton, Ed. D, fungerà da moderatore di uno speciale panel di discussione che esprimerà le loro opinioni relative al futuro della musica, compresa la fisarmonica.
