You Want Me to Teach WHAT?! Survival Strategies for New String Teachers
|
With the national shortage of string teachers, some veteran music educators suddenly find themselves teaching strings for the first time or being assigned to teach a different level of strings. This session will provide clear and “do-able” teaching strategies for all string teachers, particularly those who aren’t string players. Approaches to teaching beginning skills, intermediate techniques, fiddling, identification of resources, and other issues will be discussed. Bring an instrument - and concerns specific to your own situation - and join in!

The ASTA National Curriculum for Middle and High School Orchestras: A Framework for Rehearsal Planning, Teaching Techniques, and Long-Term Success
|
Rehearsal planning is a daily task for most school teachers. With all of the emphasis placed by schools on curricular connections, goals, and standards, it can be hard to make sure that you are accomplishing everything your students need. This session focuses on how the ASTA Standards and Curriculum can help you design effective and comprehensive rehearsals, meet curricular standards and benchmarks, and connect the rehearsal directly to assessment outcomes. We will look at a wide range of creative and effective rehearsal strategies designed to keep your students engaged.

The New Horizons Orchestra: A Musical Model for Lifelong Learning and Teacher Training
|
The Brigham Young University (BYU) New Horizons Orchestra was established to serve as an “entry point” into instrumental music education for senior adults who have never played before, and as a “re-entry” point for those who may have been away from music making for many years. A unique feature of the orchestra is its primary function as a teaching and research laboratory for BYU music education students for identifying and studying adult music learning and the ways music affects family life. Discover the joys and eye-opening teaching benefits of a beginning, multi-generational string program focused on senior citizens in your community.

Improvising String Quartets
|
Come see students learn a series of group exercises exploring different theoretical concepts, and then observe them divide into quartets combining exercises like puzzle pieces to create live improvised string quartets. Improvising string quartets give students the ability to understand in a uniquely intuitive way the compositions of the string quartet genre, giving them the ability to interpret and perform works in a truly artistic way! Lots of easy to follow hand-outs.

How to use ASTA Curriculum as an Assessment Tool
|
Analyzing student work has become prevalent in the last few years not only to offer feedback to students but to guide teaching. In the sequence of Backward Design, curriculum is written, assessments are designed and lesson plans are developed. This session will examine the ASTA curriculum and how we can develop assessments based on its contents. Thinking more deeply and reflecting about bridging gaps in student learning will be examined along with creating examples of assessments.

Bringing the Classical String Player into Jazz
|
Three common harmonically specific melodic patterns can be extracted from the great literature of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven and used in jazz improvisation. Bach used these ideas within a Baroque style. Mozart and Beethoven used them in a Classical style. Simple development and rhythmic ideas can be applied to these basic shapes to use them in a Jazz style. Extracted examples will be applied by a demonstration group over common jazz progressions.

Developing Creativity from the First String Lesson
|
This session with beginning students will demonstrate many of the tools covered in the Creative Musicianship section of the ASTA curriculum book. As we focus on a number of essential building blocks designed to develop an inventive and expressive musical language, Julie Lyonn Lieberman will also demonstrate the difference between teaching by rote and teaching from a creative stance. In other words, if the teacher only follows a written-out lesson plan, even if it’s one that focuses on creativity, he or she won’t be walking the walk and talking the talk. Ironically, to teach creativity, we must be willing to embody its essence.

From First Glance to Fluency: An Organic Approach to Teaching Music Literacy
|
There are over 75 concepts and symbols that music students needs to know before beginning to read music. Without this knowledge, reading music can be overwhelming and sometimes not even possible. This session will include demonstrations of sequential literacy instruction with the success of every student in mind. We will examine common reading problems and demonstrate how they can be avoided and corrected. Materials for single instruments and mixed groups will be discussed and demonstrated.
