Music Across Oregon
Music Across Oregon is Ethos’ rural outreach program which places experienced music educators, known as Rural Music Facilitators, in small towns across Oregon for an entire academic year. Rural Music Facilitators instruct and facilitate music education programs for students grade K-12. During the 2008-2009 academic year, Ethos placed four Rural Music Facilitators in Condon, Long Creek, Fossil, and Monument, Oregon. These highly trained AmeriCorps memebrs reside and interact within the local communities, fostering dynamic music education programs that can extend and sustain beyond the year.
The program began in 2002 with the purchase of a 1977 Bristol Double Decker bus which served as a mobile classroom and sleeping quarters for the outreach team. The Music Across Oregon program has brought concerts, assemblies, workshops, instrument ‘test-drives,’ music camps, and visiting Latin American musicians to over 30 rural towns in Oregon.
