Kansas Governor's Arts AwardsArts in Education
Mr. Talley
Arts in Education: Doug Talley, Shawnee Mission
Jazz composer, performer and music educator working in the Shawnee Mission School District, Doug Talley has had an award-winning 25-year career teaching jazz, mentoring students, and developing the talent of young Kansas musicians. Using an innovative curriculum that begins in middle school he encourages students playing any instrument to improvise, experience and create authentic jazz compositions. Integrated into his classes are student “Jam Sessions,” an approach so unique and remarkable in developing jazz performance skills that it was recognized with a profile in Midwest Jazz magazine. Mr. Talley’s teaching creates new audiences, develops confident performers and nurtures the talent of Kansas’s youth by encouraging the expression of their individual, unique creativity through music.

A thank you message to all band members:
Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your tribute to my daughter Kelsey during your show at the game. I was stunned that another school cared enough to do that and it meant a great deal to me. I stayed and watched the entire show after the game and then tried to individually thank as many members of the band as I could but I was not able to speak to each one. I would appreciate it if you would relay how much I appreciate the efforts of you and your band. It meant so much to me. Kindest Regards, Greg -- Greg Smith President Kelsey Smith Foundation, Inc. P.O Box 40393 Overland Park, KS 66204-0393 www.kelseysarmy.com
