What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

The project may include, but is not limited to:

  • Preparing an in-house archive and storage.
  • Prepare documentation listings of textual, photographic and music materials.
  • Create literature reviews and annotated bibliographies.
  • Work with director and manager to prepare materials for the manuscript.
About the company

The Cosmopolitan Music Society of Edmonton has been helping Music Lovers become Music Makers since 1963. The Cosmopolitan Music Society (“Cosmo”) gives amateur adult musicians and singers the opportunity to learn and perform quality concert band, jazz, big band, handbell and choral music. Our beginner band program gives new players the opportunity to learn an instrument, to read music, and work towards a performance skill level that will enable them to play in one of the three concert bands. Under professional music direction, our concert bands and choirs perform at all levels of ability, from beginner to advanced; and our jazz bands at novice to intermediate (Big Band), and advanced (Jazz Orchestra). We strive to create community!
