Proposal delivered to Student Technology located in Watson Library, Room 113. Date ___

The proposal must include all specifications, description, model number, quotation, cost, state contract number, and vendor for each item. If the proposal does not include all requested information, it will be retuned to requestor.

1. Describe target audience.

All Students at Northwestern State University who are enrolled in music courses. Specifically this will impact music majors, choir students and graduate students, by allowing them to utilize the pianos we currently have and this will also help all percussion members and "pit" members to perform at the football games.

2. Describe project/initiative for which you are requesting funds.

We are asking for the few remaining items to complete a previous grant that was awarded through STAT to help amplify the percussion at the football games and also for seven computer upgrades for pianos that were purchased over twenty years ago with a board of regions grant.

1 3. State measurable objectives that will be used to determine the impact/effectiveness ofthe project.

For percussion students who work on melodic parts at the football game to be heard and also for the music majors to be able to perform to there highest ability on there end of semester jury because they have had the ability to practice with the pianos playing there accompaniment with them.

4. Indicate how each project objective will be evaluated.

The sound equipment will be easily evaluated by the ability for the melodic percussion to be heard at football games and concerts. The piano upgrades will be able to be evaluated by jury every music major(vocal and instrumental) must complete.

5. If funded, which NSTEP http://www.nsula.edu/nstepINSTEP.pdfobjective(s) will this funding ofthis project advance. How will funding of the project advance the University and College/unit technology plan?

1) This will help by providing technology access to students, faculty, and staff in the CAP A department 2) Provide practice and class rooms with up to date technology 5) To update the infrastructure and make currently owned items usable

This will make it where our university is represented well thOUght our music department and also that our graduates are the best that they can be.

6. Provide a justification for funding of this project. Estimate the number of student that will be served per academic year and in what ways. Please indicate also any unique needs of the traget group.

Over 400 Vocal and Instrumental Music students and majors every semester that would have access to these pianos for preparation for their jury, and practice for other auditions as well as keyboard practice.

Over 65 Percussion Majors and students who would be able to give full performances during football games, recitals, concerts, and other times where playing a melodic instrument is needed.

7. List those individuals who will be responsible for the implementation of the project/initiative and indicate their demonstrated abilities to accomplish the objectives of the project.

Mr. Bill Brent Director of CAP A Dr. Burt Allen Choir Mr. Ken Green Percussion Mr. Kevin Richardson Music

2 8. Describe any personnel (technical or otherwise) required to support the project/initiative.

Instillation of the DSR 1 components in the pianos is all that would be needed.

9. Provide a schedule for implementation and evaluation.

The sound equipment would be implemented as soon as the ftrst football game if we have received it by that time, if not as soon as it is received. The pianos would also be put into use as soon as the piece is installed.

10. Estimate the expected life of hardware and software. Explain any anticipated equipment/software upgrades during the next ftve years.

The pianos are not currently made with a CD burner so the current DSR 1 is the most up to date upgrade that is on the horizon for the next 5 years. All of the sound equipment will last between 5 to 10 years.

11. Explain in detail a plan and policy that will be in place to ensure property security/controls for any equipment received through a Student Technology Fee. If you are requesting equipment that will be either/or checkout to students or moved within the department, you must provide a checkout/loan policy.

All ofthe rooms where these items are going to be placed already have STAT items and have all ofthe security devices that are necessary to house STAT items.

DSR1 Digital Sequencer Recorder

Plug Into a New World of Musical Enjoyment Now there's an easy way to give your MIDI-equipped Yamaha digital or digital/acoustic piano recording, playback and other advanced capabilities. Simply plug in the new DSR1 Digital Sequencer Recorder. Ideal for MIDI PIANOs, and GrandTouch pianos, or an an upgrade for earlier-model DiskIavier pianos, the DSR1 harnesses the power of today's Disklavier Mark IIXG technology to expand your piano's capabilities and extend your musical horizons.

Play along with a Full Orchestra Equipped with an internal XG tone generator, the DSR1 provides nearly 700 digitally sampled voices - strings, brass, woodwinds, perousaion, special effecis and more - some that you can play right from your piano keyboard, either independently or in conjunction with the piano. This multivoice capability also allows you to use your piano as a complete entertainment system, reproducing richly orchestrated professional recordings.

Turn Your Plano into a Recording Studio With the OSR1 , you can record keyboard performance into internal memory or onto standard floppy disks, and reproduce it. You can replay favorite songs at the touch of a button, in any key or tempo. Keep permanent records or players' progress, and exchange music files with other DSR1 CMnerS, DisIcIaviet" piani&Is or MIDf musicians. And its multi-track sequencer lets you record up to 16 tracks of piano and a choice of 128 instrumental sounds to create sophisticated ensemble arrangements.

Let Your Piano Entertain You OSR1 gives you access to a wide variety of pnHeCOrded PianoSoftlll, PianoSoft Plus™ disks, as well a6 the va&t library of standard MtDf di6ks noN available right in your own home. Mute the piano or any instrumental part to play along with the pros.

Fully Compatible And since it's fully compatible with the General MIDt sIandard, you can play back Standard MIDI Rle disks without haYing to conIigufe MIDJ cllannels or instrumental assignments.

Educational Take advantage of educational disks designed to hefp you learn or improve. Even work out a difficult song or passage by playing one hand at a time, while your piano plays the other!

Connect to the Power of Your PC

Just connect MIDI and audio cables to your piano, select your piano type and you're ready to play! You can set the DSR1 on top of your piano or place it conveniently off to one side.

Requirements Designed for use with Yamaha pianos equipped with a digital piano tone generator (or a Disklavier reproducing system) and MIDI connections.

Yamaha MIDIPIANOs Yamaha MIDIPIANOs reproduce digital piano and ensemble solnt through headphones or external amplification systems. GranTouch pianos utilize internal speakers and amplification.

Reproduction of Acoustic Plano Reproduction of acoustic piano performance, including the lifelike motion of keys and pedals during playback, requires the advanced drive components found only on Yamaha DiskIavier pianos and is only po&8ibIe with these insIruments. Disklavier pianos reproduce piano tones on the sbings of the piano, requiring headphones or external powered speakers for ensemble sound reproduction.

Theta Nu Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi is submitting a grant to be funded through Student Technology Fee Grants. Please consider this letter my endorsement ofthe grant application.

The School of Creative and Performing Arts has seven disklavier pianos that are in serious need of technology upgrades. These pianos are available to the nearly 200 music majors for individual practice and rehearsals in student practice rooms and faculty studios. They are purchased approximately 10 years ago with a grant received from the Board of Regents and the technology that is available has greatly improved.

Upgrading the pianos will benefit the music students tremendously and increase the use of the pianos.

Thank you for your consideration and feel free to contact me with any questions concerning this matter. .' . Mrs. H. D. Dear, Sr. and Alice E.

To: Jennifer Long. Student Techn~~· F~Grant .Coordinator From: Bill Brent /5"':-(~ Director, School of Creative and Perfonning Arts Date: April 11, 2007 RE: Grant Request prepared by Kappa Kappa Psi, Theta Nu Chapter

Theta Nu Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi is submitting a grant to be funded through Student Technology Fee Grants. Please consider this letter my endorsement ofthe grant application.

The NSU Band Room is used by numerous classes as well as the primary rehearsal hall for the University Bands. Approximately 400 students use the band room three times a week during each semester.

The grant. if funded, will provide much needed technology equipment for the NSU Band Room. At the present time, there is no equipment in the NSU Band Room that will allow us to play back recordings of either marching band or concert band performances. Once the equipment is installed, we will be able to utilize this as a teaching tool to enhance the perfonnances of the band in both concert and marching seasons.

In addition, the equipment will be utilized for instruction in conducting classes, instrumental technique classes and the marching band technique classes for students to view and/or hear their assignments or other appropriate educational subject matter.

Thank you for your consideration and feel free to contact me with any questions concerning this.
