Social Impact Consortium<br />
As educators, we are privileged to welcome students into our classroom regardless of their race, religion, socioeconomic<br />
status, sexuality, or gender identity. We are also <strong>for</strong>tunate to teach alongside amazing educators that<br />
reflect that same diversity we see in our classrooms. The annual CBDA Social Impact Consortium is designed to<br />
promote empathy, engagement, and understanding in areas critical to our growth as a society by inviting composers<br />
of diverse identities to grapple with socially relevant topics and providing meaningful companion curricula.<br />

CBDA Social Impact Curriculum Teacher Resource Guide<br />
Indian Classical Music (often divided into Hindustani [north] and Carnatic [south]) boasts a rich and<br />
complex history of structural, compositional, and improvisatory theory vastly different from the Western<br />
European Art Music that much of school band repertoire is based on. The 2024 Social Impact Consortium<br />
companion curriculum seeks to serve as a music student’s first engagement with the theory and<br />
improvisational techniques of Indian Classical Music (specifically in the Hindustani tradition). Students<br />
will learn about raga and how they are constructed and developed into melodies be<strong>for</strong>e being encouraged<br />
to improvise with them. <strong>Aakash</strong> <strong>Mittal</strong>’s included series of three warm-ups <strong>for</strong> his<br />
composition, <strong>Poorvi</strong>, serve as an integral part of this curriculum.<br />

theory and improvisation curriculum resources as well as in<strong>for</strong>mation and companion<br />
curricula <strong>for</strong> our other annual consortia.
