2009 GMEA In-Service Conference Program

Welcome to Savannah!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Savannah for the Georgia Music Educators Association InService Conference. GMEA events have been held here since 1973, and Savannah has been the home of our In-Service Conference since 1988. Whether this is your first GMEA In-Service Conference or your 31st, I hope that you will come away inspired and energized to continue making a difference for music education in Georgia.

The 2009 In-Service Conference has quality events for everyone. Great student ensembles are scheduled to perform in every division, and professional learning sessions will be presented by some of the country‟s best clinicians. Please take time to examine your program carefully to schedule time for those concerts and sessions that have the most interest for you.

I want to encourage everyone to attend the General Session at 2 PM on Friday, January 30th.

Our featured ensemble is the internationally acclaimed Turtle Island String Quartet. We will also hear from Herb Garett, Executive Director of the Georgia School Superintendants Association and long time friend of GMEA. A new feature for the general session this year is the election of GMEA officers. Another new feature involves incorporating the All-College Band and Chorus schedule into the regular conference schedule. This will allow these college students to be more fully involved in the CMENC and regular conference sessions. As you see all of our college students at the conference, please share a word of encouragement with them as they prepare to enter our profession.

The Conference is your time for professional learning, but it is also a time to pamper yourself a little and get ready for the remainder of this academic year. Do yourself a favor and plan some time to enjoy Savannah. Stroll through the squares between sessions and visit shops, museums and restaurants. The International Trade and Convention Center is only a ferry ride away from America‟s largest historic district. GMEA officers and staff have done everything possible to provide a great In-Service Conference for you, and this is our way of saying thanks for everything that you do all year long for Georgia‟s music students.

Orchestra Division – Room 102 Preventing Injuries with Young String Players through Muscle-ship Clinician: Kathleen Horvath, Case Western University

Technology – Greene Board Room SOUNDS GREAT - The “Ins and Outs” of Designing a Sound System Clinician – Jody Underwood, SoundTree

Presider: Jennifer Floyd, Lovejoy High School Host: Brandon Gordon, Jonesboro High School When teaching young string players we are all acutely aware that we are often building muscles in addition to teaching musical and instrumental skills.

But, we do have to be careful that we do not inadvertently stress these young players to the point where they develop bad habits that lay the foundation for injury. Lengthy rehearsals, festival schedules, musicals and contests often create overuse situations and raise the potential for injury. This session will start by defining the problem of performance injury in students, look at the potential the detrimental effects injuries can have on their longevity, and then provide some practical strategies for prevention in the string/orchestra environment. Bring your instrument and learn some new ways to play stress free.

The sound system can be your best friend, or your most worthy adversary. The truth behind designing a fantastic sound system is summed up in 3 words: It All Depends. Topics of discussion will include: Room acoustics, Room dimensions, Room applications, and deciphering what the statements “too Bass-ey” and “sounds piercing” mean!

General Interest – Rooms 103-104 Advocacy from the School House to the State House Clinician: Dr. Richard Bell, GMEA President

Presider: Roy Legette, University of Georgia This presentation explores my dissertation research of students‟ experience within two Canadian urban high school music programs that offer learning experiences in addition to band, orchestra, and choir.

The students at these schools represent broad diversity in their cultural backgrounds and learning needs. These programs are designed with students‟ needs (as identified in education and adolescent literature) in mind for engagement, interdependence, and positive relationships within the learning environment. Major findings include quantitative and qualitative relationships between: (1) the value students place on what they learn in music class, (2) the relevance of music class to students‟ lives outside of school, and (3) the degree to which students feel creative when they are engaged in music class. This research broadens our understanding of perspective and possibility for students within secondary general music education contexts.

Presider: Corie Benton, Mundy‟s Mill High School This session will focus on strategies you can use to promote your program in your school building, in your community, to your school board and in the state legislature.

Turtle Island Quartet Friday, January 30 2:00 PM Ballroom ABC

©Sterling 2008

Its name derived from creation mythology found in Native American Folklore, the Turtle Island Quartet, since its inception in 1985, has been a singular force in the creation of bold, new trends in chamber music for strings. Winner of the 2006 and most recently, the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album, Turtle Island fuses the classical quartet esthetic with contemporary American musical styles, and by devising a performance practice that honors both, the state of the art has inevitably been redefined.

Cellist nonpareil Yo-Yo Ma has proclaimed TIQ to be “a unified voice that truly breaks new ground – authentic and passionate – a reflection of some of the most creative music-making today.” The Quartet‟s birth was the result of violinist David Balakrishnan‟s brainstorming explorations and compositional vision while completing his master‟s degree program at Antioch University West. The journey has taken Turtle Island through forays into folk, bluegrass, swing, be-bop, funk, R&B, new age, rock, hip-hop, as well as music of Latin America and India …a repertoire consisting of hundreds of ingenious arrangements and originals. It has included over a dozen recordings on labels such as Windham Hill, Chandos, Koch and Telarc, soundtracks for major motion pictures, TV and radio credits such as the Today Show, All Things Considered, Prairie Home Companion, and Morning Edition, feature articles in People and Newsweek magazines, and collaborations with famed artists such as clarinetist Paquito D‟Rivera, vibraphonist Stefon Harris, guitar legends such as Leo Kottke and the Assad brothers, The Manhattan Transfer, pianists Billy Taylor, Kenny Barron and Ramsey Lewis, the Ying Quartet and the Parsons Dance Company. Another unique element of Turtle Island is their revival of venerable improvisational and compositional chamber traditions that have not been explored by string players for nearly 200 years. At the time of Haydn‟s apocryphal creation of the string quartet form, musicians were more akin to today‟s saxophonists and keyboard masters of the jazz and pop world, i.e., improvisers, composers, and arrangers. Each Turtle Island member is accomplished in these areas of expertise as well as having extensive conservatory training as instrumentalists. One result of this dedication can be seen in Turtle Island‟s phenomenal international appeal, particularly in Europe where chamber music remains a vital facet of life. What was once termed „alternative‟ chamber music now firmly inhabits the mainstream.

Turtle Island members refine their skills through the development of repertory by some of today‟s cutting edge composers, through performances and recordings with major symphonic ensembles, and through a determined educational commitment. Turtle Island Quartet promises to be the string quartet for the next century.

All State Jazz Ensemble Jim Snidero, Conductor Saturday, January 31 11:00 AM Ballroom ABC

Hailed as an “alto sax virtuoso” and “master musician” by Downbeat Magazine, Jim Snidero has been a highly-respected bandleader and recording artist for over a quarter century. Since making his first recording as a leader entitled “On Time” (Toshiba/EMI) in 1984, he has contributed to the art form with a remarkably diverse set of recordings (14 to date) on both major and indie labels, including “Strings” (Milestone), which he both composed and arranged for string orchestra, called a “masterpiece” by the Philadelphia Weekly, San Francisco Guardian, Swing Journal and Jazz Life magazine, among others. His 2007 “Tippin” (Savant) recording with an organ trio was a major hit on US jazz radio, topping the charts for months. As a touring bandleader and recording artist, Snidero‟s sidemen read as a who‟s who on the current jazz scene: Tom Harrell, Billy Hart, Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Kirkland, Benny Green, Louis Hayes, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Peter Washington, Kevin Hayes, Tim Hagans, Kenny Washington, Marvin “Smitty” Smith and Paul Bollenback, to name a few. In addition to his performance activities, Snidero has been a major contributor to jazz education as both a best-selling author and educator. The three “Jazz Conception” (Advance Music) book series‟ he has penned are some of the most widely-used text books in the world, firmly established as a cornerstone of mainstream jazz education. He is on the adjunct faculty at New School and New Jersey City University, commuted from NYC to run the jazz saxophone studio for the top-rated music program at Indiana University in 2006, and is an active clinician for The ConnSelmer Company and Rico Reeds.
