Recommended: Having Classes Online vs. Having Classes in the Classroom

I wanted to write you a proposal on a training workshop that I would like to develop for new hires in the Navy Music program that will help them acclimate to their new jobs.

One of the first things I want to do is to make them aware of the audition process and what is involved to become a Navy Musician. Depending on the instrument they would like to audition on, we will need to make sure they have a prepared performance piece that will help to show off their skills. An excerpt from each genre of music should workout fine. They should have all Major Scales and Minor Scales ready to perform. The final part of the audition should be sight reading. This is the most important part of the audition because there are many times when we don’t have enough time to rehearse songs before they are performed in ceremonies and for concerts. After they’ve been accepted into the program we will need …show more content…

The face-to-face training will consist of instrumental lessons at the Armed Forces School of music in Little Creek, VA. Ear training, marching band rehearsals, jazz improv, and musical ensemble rehearsals will also be face-to-face. The online training will consist of musical theory and arranging, to include quizzes and tests.

Our students will also be required to memorize important repertoire that should be memorized before they can graduate the school. This will include the National Anthem, each Armed Forces Service Song, and 10 marches that are normally played during parades. Buglers will be required to learn Taps and bugle calls and drummers will learn all of the required rudiments.

I think the face-to-face choices will help for us to make sure that they are able to perform on a level that is required of a military musician and we wouldn’t be able to make sure that they won’t have any issues with performing in public or in front of audiences if they are recording all of their work at

    The NJROTC, or Naval Junior Recruit Officer Training Corpse, is built not only to teach high school students about the navy but also allows student to become our great leaders of the future. In NJROTC cadets are asked to live up to very high standards because those students in NJROTC are thought of as the best of the best and are at that school to represent the military way of life. In this program I have learned three traits that will help me better myself not only in the future but in the day I live today. These traits that I speak of are discipline, punctuality, and respect. If not for NJROTC I would have not been as great a person and would have little or no direction in my life.

    The US Navy has founded its self with being an organization that will train and activate skilled combat naval personnel. The official mission statement taken off their web site states, “The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.” (http://www.navy.com) The Navy also prides itself on the adventurous spirit it takes to embark on a career in the navy. The slogan used in getting new recruits is “Accelerate your life“. These statements suggest that the Navy is not only clear in its purpose and design, but also dedicated to its end. The clarity of its mission is seen in the extensive training that recruits receive in boot camp and the mental focus directed by their superiors to focus on the mission statement. In recruitment, the Navy seeks young men and women, often bogged down with school and jobs that to an eighteen or nineteen year old seems to be boring and slow paced.

    Following in my sister’s footsteps, my mom signed me up to march trombone my freshman year. The idea alone baffled me; at the time dance filled my life and I showed no interest for this vastly different activity. However, I still joined, but since the peak of my dance season conflicted with the beginning of marching band, I joined a few weeks late. All would have been well if only the trombone section did not disintegrated leaving me without a home. This left me in the dust with no section to go to. To learn a brand new instrument would have shoved me even farther behind, and I refused to go on. In spite of my thoughts, my mom insisted in me not dropping out, so we took a new approach. I joined the color guard.

    In conclusion, the ability for sailors to better their career has been taken out of their hands, and relies too much on external entities. Advancement is not based on one’s abilities to excel at his or her job, but by hoping they earn more money for the commands Navy Day Ball, they must have faith that the standardized test will cover their job field, and that the writing ability of their superiors is good enough to keep them competitive. Once these aspects under the advancement criteria are changed, the navy as a whole will start seeing more effective leaders who understands their jobs, understand their people, and more closely reflect the ideals and traits required in today’s leaders.
