With summer vacation approaching, here is an idea that would count as professional development:
This summer, MENC will be holding a variety of Music Education Academies, in replacement of their National Conference. There are numerous academies being held such as general music, jazz education, performance, and music technology. As MENC states on their website:
“The Music Education Week Academies are unique and in-depth two-day professional development conference tracks designed to expand teachers’ horizons and supply attendees with new tools and techniques to take back to the classroom.”
As I look through their website, I am excited to see so many music technology gurus planning on participating, such as Dr. James Frankel (marketing director of SoundTree); Stefani Langol, (assistant professor of music education, Berklee College of Music); Brian Moore, associate professor of music education, University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Music; Joseph Pisano, director of music and fine arts technology, Grove City College, Grove City, PA, and founder of the MusTech.net Web site; and many more.
I will be one of the panelists for “Software for Music Creation”
“From Sibelius to GarageBand, today’s leading music creation programs blur the line between performance, composition, recording, and notation. This panel discusses how these programs work and suggests ways to employ them in the music classroom.”
I am excited and intrigued to see how this new format works out. I am honored to be asked by MENC to participate. If you are planning on attending, I am hoping that you will attend the panel discussion on software for music creation.
