What is CCC?CCC stands for Curious Collaborative Creativity. As a result of receiving a Federal Title III Strengthening Institutions grant in 2011, our traditional concert band has been transformed into a inquiry based ensemble. Musicians explore a variety of traditional and new music through collaborative music contributions. Inspired by the Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) and Project-Based Learning approaches, the CCC format shifts the control of the ensemble from the director to the musicians. Members select or compose the music they wish to explore, develop their curiosity through ideas or individual contributions, investigate through collaboration, and then produce a creative performance that shares their new understandings and often involves audience participation.
The primary goal of CCC is to develop a total understanding and competency of all areas of music by the members of an ensemble or the students in the music class. Musicians collaborate in directing, teaching,, composing, improvising, creating, promoting, and sharing comprehensive artistry. To learn more about the CCC philosophy and approach, please visit the Curious Collaborative Creativity website.
