FROM THE DESK OF... Dr. Michael Crist, OMEA President I want to recommend to every OMEA member that you familiarize yourself with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). ESSA has the potential to significantly impact the entire American education system, including your music program. The ESSA is a reauthorization of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Do I still have your attention?! Here is the good news: ESSA is designed to take the place of No Child Left Behind, the education law that helped to create the quagmire of red tape and testing we have been living with for the past two decades. ESSA is a huge and complex law that will affect education in America, but its main goal is to put education policy back in local control. For this to work, it is imperative that educators become informed, and work to inform all stakeholders in local government, in your community and in our schools. So back to my opening paragraph: how do you get to know ESSA? Some of the important points in ESSA that could be beneficial to music education are listed below: • A New and Clear Intent to Support Our Nation’s Schools Through a Well-Rounded Education. • Enumeration of Music as a Well-Rounded Subject • Requirements for Well-Rounded Education • Flexibility of Title I funds to support a wellrounded education. • More Professional Development for Music Educators • Flexible Accountability Systems • Protection from “Pull Outs” 8
This list was extracted from pages of ESSA information provided by NAfME. I recommend you start your quest for knowledge about ESSA with this resource titled “Everything ESSA” at http://www. nafme.org/take-action/elementary-and-secondary-education-act-esea-updates/. Through this site you can access the entire law and a synopsis focusing on important information for music educators, along with action plans, and tips for working with state and local lawmakers. Although the ESSA law was approved this past December in a by-partisan Christmas Miracle, we are far from done. Current work is focusing on the funding of ESSA. A federal appropriations committee approved $1.65 billion in funding for ESSA. Unfortunately the U.S. Senate has only approved $300 million for the law. Please feel free to contact your federal representatives and ask them to fully fund ESSA and support a well-rounded education for all students. As the funding model takes shape, it is time for state and local governments to develop an implementation plan for ESSA. Ohio is taking a proactive stance with the implementation process. Through the leadership of Donna Collins with the Ohio Arts Council (http://www.oac.ohio.gov) and Tim Katz with the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education (http:// www.oaae.net/en/), the Collaborative for Arts Education in Ohio (CAEO) was formed. The CAEO is a group of arts educators, education administrators, artists and parents who have come together to develop a list of recommendations to ensure that arts learning is included in Ohio’s state and local education plans. TRIAD
We are very excited that Chris Woodside, NAfME advocacy powerhouse, will be offering his insights on ESSA at the 2017 OMEA Professional Development Conference in Cleveland. Mr. Woodside’s presentations will provide a clear perspective on future action plans for ESSA and how each of us can be involved. I ask each of you to get involved now by becoming informed and taking action toward the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act in your community.

TEACHING TIPS BAND From START to Finish: Thoughtful Programming for Band Dr. Kyle R. Glaser; Texas State University
How do you select music for your band to play? Making choices that are decided by artistic merit and educational concerns, as opposed to choosing pieces based on your “gut reaction” will produce greater rewards for you, your students, and your audience. Listed below are some points to consider when choosing music for your ensemble. S - STUDENT What is the ability level of your students? You make music with the people in front of you so what is their ability level? For many, this is an area with which we have a fair amount of comfort. As educators we need to constantly monitor our students’ technical facility, tone production, rhythmic vocabulary, and general musicianship. What are the educational needs of your students? If something is wrong, or if there is an area of concern, what can be done from a literature standpoint to address the issue? For example, if playing a piece in cut-time is difficult, perhaps finding a cut-time work that is repetitive and has homophonic texture would be better than a composition that had a greater independence of parts or a complex rhythmic structure. How do you want them to grow as artists? Sometimes the “nuts and bolts” of literature selection - issues like key signatures, instrument 14
ranges, rhythms - cloud our true goals, one of which should be to ensure a significant musical experience for the members of our ensemble. While the blueprint of a composition is important when selecting literature, be sure to also consider the intangible aspects of music-making. T - TEACHER Establish short & long term goals We are what we play! It’s up to us to determine what music students will be exposed to, not only for one concert, but for multiple concerts over multiple years. Developing a “band curriculum” that covers a student’s four years of high school is a complex issue that deserves serious thought. Gauge your own musical & educational ability This can be a tough pill to swallow. Young music educators may find score study and lesson planning difficult if the composition employs advanced harmonies and compositional techniques, or explores instrument-specific issues that are unfamiliar to the teacher. Meeting district, state, and national standards in music We have a responsibility as educators to meet the mandates set forth by our governing bodies. State and national standards for music should be considered when choosing literature. TRIAD

Is the music artistically or pedagogically satisfying? It will be hard to “sell” an ensemble on a piece of music that you are not excited to conduct yourself. Does the work explore a variety of colors and timbres? Is it consistent in quality and style? Is it a work that you will be excited to spend weeks (or months!) on during the preparation phase? A - AUDIENCE Who are you performing for? Focusing on who is sitting in your auditorium could impact what pieces you choose to play. Your concert band adjudication program could differ greatly from your holiday concert or a pops concert that featured music of a lighter fare. How do we educate the audience? Just as we want to see the musical palate of our students develop, this can be a goal for the audience as well. What is the program length and order; how many ensembles are performing? So much time is invested in working with students for concert preparation that we forget what it is like to sit and actually listen to a concert from the audience’s perspective. Scheduling a concert that features four concert bands - each performing 20 minutes of music and requires additional time for seating changes - can be tedious for parents who just finished an eight-hour shift at work. Even though they love their kids, the last thing they may want to do is sit through a two and a half hour band concert! R - REHEARSAL How much time do you have to prepare? Choosing four challenging pieces for your next concert may seem accessible when you look at the calendar, but how will your preparation be altered by snow days, state testing, and field trips? Gauging your amount of rehearsal time, arranging sectionals, and planning for these little “inconvenient interruptions” will yield a less stressful rehearsal environment for both conductor and ensemble. Is physical space and equipment a consideration? What instruments are required for the works you plan to perform? If a work requires two sets of timpani and you only have one, perhaps a differOCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016
ent piece is in order. A composition that is constantly scored in tutti fashion and at mostly fortissimo dynamics may be ill-fitting for small band rooms with poor acoustics. Can you get help from other directors or staff? Your fellow educators can be helpful in assisting with sectionals, master classes, and other issues that could allow you to focus on musical interpretation, thereby making you more effective on the podium. Also, collegiate ensemble directors LOVE to visit schools and work with bands. Pick up the phone and call or send us an email - help is out there! T- TOTALITY What does a good concert sound like? Analyze concerts that you attend as a listener, and ask yourself what made the experience an enjoyable one? Was there a “cornerstone work” of the program? Was it a themed concert? Consider all aspects when trying to figure out what makes the best total package for a concert. Is the ensemble set up for future growth? How will the time and energy spent on preparation for this concert assist them with preparing and performing the next concert? Advance planning by conductors with these thoughts in mind will hopefully produce a positive musical experience for all involved - happy concert season!

His responsibilities include conducting the Symphonic Winds, overseeing all athletic bands, and teaching various methods classes. He holds a Doctor of Music degree in Conducting from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, a Master of Music degree in Conducting from Rutgers University, and a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from the Pennsylvania State University.

TEACHING TIPS ETHNOMUSICOLOGY World Music Drumming: Bringing the World Closer to Home Hong Le; Hudson City Schools
As a college student, I was often asked to reflect on and write about my philosophy of music education and what my mission would be as a future music educator. As one who wanted to teach music since I was thirteen, I reflected upon and described what my own music educators had exemplified to me that had inspired me to want to enter this profession. Little did I know when writing those papers that it was not going to be past events which shaped my career, but the current events of my first year of teaching that would ultimately clarify and dictate, with true passion, empathy, and grit, what I needed to accomplish in my role as a music educator. Three weeks into my first year of teaching, I learned of the premeditated devastation that terrorists intended upon the American people during the tragic events of September 11, 2001. I was horrified that such hatred could exist. To compound the problem, the instinctive reaction of some was to hate back and unfairly judge a certain segment of the American population whose ethnicity was similar to that of the terrorists. These observations helped clarify my primary mission as a teacher: the best combatant to more hate in our world is to allow our youth to discover the beauty, not the divide, found in our differences. I believe that multiculturalism is a way of being, not an event or unit of study. I allow students to dis18
cover, by modeling and with direct instruction, with subtlety and with obvious direction, through their experiences and reflection, the beauty found in other cultures. Because music plays a central role in traditions around the world, my students can become the people of that culture through the study and performance of traditional music, played on authentic instruments, sung in their language, danced with their flair. While these goals became clarified for me, I was woefully ill-prepared musically to teach music of various cultures to my students, as I had most recently spent my college years studying Western orchestral repertoire as a bassoonist and general music repertoire in preparation for my future job. In the spring of 2002, I had the fortune of attending the Music Educators National Conference (MENC, predecessor to NAfME) in Nashville, Tennessee, where I attended a session by Dr. Will Dr. Schmid, who had written and piloted a curriculum called World Music Drumming. Its emphasis is on the drumming traditions of West Africa and the Caribbean islands. His session was what set me on the path towards studying music of various cultures. While this curriculum began with middle school general music students in mind, it has now been established in music programs of all levels and genres in over 20,000 schools worldwide. While the TRIAD

curricular title suggests that it focuses primarily on drumming, it also includes singing, moving, playing xylophones and recorders. Through my experience with World Music Drumming, it has not only expanded my repertoire of music from around the world, but it vastly expanded my pedagogical and performing approaches in all areas, particularly in the area of learning through oral tradition, which is the traditional method of learning by the people of the cultures from which this music originates. Through my experiences of teaching my own students for 16 years and being a member of the national World Music Drumming (WMD) faculty for the last 12 summers, I have witnessed thousands of music educators understand the necessity for including multicultural experiences within the music classroom, so that students, as well as school faculty and audiences, can achieve a growth mindset when it comes to learning about and appreciating other cultures. I encourage all music educators to learn more about World Music Drumming and how it can be implemented into their own music program. The following three steps will help one to begin this journey: 1. Visit the following website www.worldmusicdrumming.com to study its resources. 2. Study the 20th Anniversary edition of the World Music Drumming curriculum. This edition was released in 2016, and contains multimedia resources, including instructional videos, mp3 files the music and songs, and an e-book version with easy links to all these resources 3. Attend a week-long summer WMD workshop, offered in 16 locations around the country. This workshop focuses on authentic learning of the music through oral tradition, and provides a multitude of pedagogical ideas and opportunity for practice teaching for implementation, which will help one in other areas of teaching besides with WMD. In the current school environment, incorporating technology has become the primary initiative for classroom implementation and the primary item sought from grant funds. I view the request of multicultural instruments, resources, and training as a form of advanced technology. Technology provides OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016
access to the outside world. However, in the context of music, using technology to show students other people making the music is more passive experience, with students being observers. By acquiring instruments and training, music educators could allow their students to more fully complete their cycle of learning because the students would be active learners and performers rather than observers. While this article focuses mostly on using the World Music Drumming curriculum to provide a multicultural experience for students, the world is vast. The primary goal is to use any tools, resources, and music available that will allow students to engage in musical experiences that will help them appreciate the beauty and culture of others. Hong Le is a National Board Certified elementary music specialist in the Hudson City Schools.

TEACHING TIPS HIGHER ED Technology Tools for Music Education Faculty Dr. Jay Dorfman; Kent State University
The lives of music teacher educators can be complex balancing acts between teaching, research and service responsibilities. While technology is not always the answer to finding harmony in one’s life, some technologies can enhance the ways in which we work, perhaps making our work more efficient, and suggest important skills for our students. In addition to helping us to work faster and more productively, technology can also help to archive our work so that it is available on demand in the future. In this short article, I will describe a few technologies that I think are particularly useful for music teacher education faculty. Music teacher educators in Ohio prepare their students to submit artifacts in support of the edTPA requirement, which is an extensive assessment of teacher candidates’ readiness for the profession. In order to support students who are to be assessed using edTPA, faculty members should become familiar with writing and video tools that are essential for creating artifacts. While students are frequently asked to submit word-processed work throughout their teacher preparation programs, we should not assume that they are well-versed in efficient uses of word processing software. As researchers and frequent writers, faculty often take this technology for granted, but helping students learn intricacies of word processing and other writing tools can promote the professionalism 22
of their work. Helping students use formatting tools, on- or off-line reference management tools, and functions as seemingly simple as spell checking can make the artifacts they submit for this important exam more likely to be scored successfully. Many universities’ technology support departments offer training workshops for students and faculty to learn about business software so they can be more productive and make professional use of technologies. Students are expected to video record themselves teaching as part of the edTPA submission process. While our Millennial students may sometimes be referred to as “The Selfie Generation” (Blow, 2014), casual uses of still photography and videography may not equate to professional quality images that are appropriate for use in a formal assessment such as the edTPA. As faculty, we should familiarize ourselves with, and pass on to our students, essential techniques for capturing acceptable quality video. Aim to acquire video capture equipment that surpasses the abilities of a typical cell phone, especially in terms of sound quality. Devices such as the Zoom Q8 and the Sony HDR-MV1 capture high-definition video, and include upgraded microphones which capture better sound quality than can be obtained from the consumer-level microphones in a cell phone. As music teachers, we should emphasize the quality of audio capture, and the devices mentioned earlier, among TRIAD
others, are capable of very high quality with reasonable investment. Students who are learning to make excellent quality videos might also benefit from a visit to our classes from faculty in film or TV production departments, or from campus television station producers. Basic lighting and framing techniques can mean the difference between acceptable and unacceptable videos. Software for video editing that is available to just about everyone on a college campus—such as Apple’s iMovie or Microsoft’s Windows Movie Maker—is perfectly capable of editing video to a level of sophistication that is acceptable for student teacher assessment submissions. Students should learn techniques for cutting and transitioning between video clips, adding titles, and exporting in usable formats. With these technologies available, the artifacts that student teachers prepare will portray the best representation of their performances in the classroom without the distraction of poor audio or video quality. In addition to helping our students prepare their professional evaluations, music teacher educators can use technology to document their own professional accomplishments with an eye toward assembling a dossier for promotion or tenure consideration. Rather than rely on untrustworthy hard drives and local storage possibilities, we should consider using cloud services for dependable archiving of these important artifacts. Many universities supply faculty with access to Google Drive, which is a reliable online storage repository capable of storing files of many kinds including print documents, images, video, and audio files. Similarly, we may use other online storage services such as Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, or SugarSync. These services vary in price from free to a few dollars a month, and also vary in storage capacity. Consider the possibility of developing a website dossier, which will serve the dual purposes of storing files for safekeeping, and displaying them in an orderly fashion for internal and external reviewers. WordPress is a free option that offers template-based construction of your online presence, and allows up to 3 gigabytes of storage, which is quite substantial. Other options include services such as Wix, SquareSpace, and Weebly, all of which offer free options, and increase both storage capacity and available features with paid services. With so many options availOCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2016
able for both simple storage and for development of a website, it is simply foolish to put one’s faith in unreliable hard drives to store the most important data for your professional advancement. In my previous writing, I have suggested that, while keeping up with technology can be daunting, music teacher educators must own the responsibility of modeling exceptional uses of technology for our students (Dorfman, 2013). Using learning management systems, online storage services, and high-quality video capture are three relatively simple ways that we can demonstrate for our students how to successfully integrate technology into their lives as teachers. While students will certainly imagine other ways, we can start with these as launching points to serve as strong models of technology integration. REFERENCES Blow, C. M. (2014, March 7, 2014).

TEACHING TIPS ORCHESTRA Professional Resources for Orchestra Teachers Mark Sholl; Hilliard City Schools For several years, I have been involved with the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra in Columbus as a board member. We spend a lot of time trying to reach out to local teachers to provide them with services the orchestra has to offer. One thing I notice about many orchestra programs we reach out to, regardless of setting (e.g., Urban, Rural and Suburban): teachers are frequently apologetic of their circumstances. Orchestra teachers often feel isolated and unsupported. Please know that support and resources are available nearly any place in the state of Ohio. You simply need to be proactive in locating and contacting them. Resources can often be found in the form of professional arts organizations, businesses, and local musicians. These entities not only want to help you, but probably include support for public school orchestra programs as part of their mission statement. Moreover, they probably need your program to partner with them in order to maintain grants that are crucial to their financial health. As strange as it may sound, they may actually need you and your program as much as you need them! Most professional orchestras have an outreach or education element that is actively seeking partners. Here are some to consider exploring, depending on your geographical location in the state. I am sure some quality programs are missing, but they should be relatively easy to find with a quick google search. Akron Symphony Orchestra Canton Symphony Orchestra 24
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Cleveland Orchestra Columbus Symphony Orchestra Dayton Philharmonic Lima Symphony Mansfield Symphony New Albany Symphony Newark-Granville Symphony ProMusica Chamber Orchestra Springfield Symphony Toledo Symphony Westerville Symphony Youngstown Symphony As I stated, there are many more places available to support you and your students. Go out and find them. Also, as you look online at their education offerings, if you do not see what you are looking for, call them and ask them if they could provide the kind of help you need. It has been my experience that the education programs in most of the aforementioned organizations really do want to help and are willing to be creative to work with your students.
Mark Sholl has been the director of orchestras at Hilliard Davidson High School and Music Coordinator for the Hilliard City Schools for the past 21 years. He is also the past President of the Ohio Orchestra and String Teachers Association. He is the music director of the Columbus Symphony Cadet Orchestra, one of four levels of youth orchestras associated with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. He is currently a doctoral candidate in The Ohio State University School of Education Policy and Leadership.

TEACHING TIPS TEACHER EVALUATION Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): A Review Rachael Fleischaker; College of Wooster
WHAT IS ESSA? The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is a piece of federal legislation that was signed into law on December 2015 and reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. It replaces the No Child Left Behind policies and guidelines that have governed access to federal funding for schools since 2001.
WHEN WILL ESSA GO INTO EFFECT? ESSA will be implemented in the 2017-2018 school year. The Ohio Department of Education will submit a plan to the United States Department of Education for approval by July of 2017. The current school year (2016-2017) is a transition year, meaning schools must still operate under the No Child Left Behind.
WHAT CHANGES? Some aspects of ESSA mirror current legal mandates. For instance, states are still required to develop a plan that shows how school districts are being held accountable for high academic standards, teacher evaluations, and scores on high stakes testing. The state plan must also identify the lowest performing schools and put intervention strategies in place. However, ESSA differs from current regulations in that it does not require states to define highly qualified teachers and it eliminates the penalties for not achieving adequate yearly progress. States now have more freedom to determine accountability systems such as how teachers will be evaluated and to what extent students’ test scores will affect that evaluation. ESSA also affords more flexibility in the way title money will be allocated. Grants for Title I, Title II, and Title IV funds can be used to support a well-rounded education.
HOW WILL ESSA EFFECT OHIO MUSIC TEACHERS? This new legislation offers music educators some encouragement as well as some challenges. For the first time, music is listed as a core subject in federal law. Under ESSA, schools are encouraged to develop plans that represent a well-rounded education. These two changes represent potential opportunities for music education to become an integral part of the school-wide curriculum. However, the definition for a well-rounded education must be developed and put into action.
26
WILL ESSA CHANGE TEACHER EVALUATION? WILL I STILL HAVE TO USE SLOS? Local districts determine their evaluation protocol using the current model for teacher evaluation which is governed by Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES). Student learning objectives (SLOs) will conTRIAD
tinue to be an option for measuring student growth for teachers who do not have value-added or vendor approved assessments (most music teachers fall into this category). ESSA does not override state law. However, it does allow states more flexibility to refine their teacher evaluation models in the future. WHAT IS OMEA DOING? OMEA is advocating for music education! Officers have been attending state-wide meetings and webinars organized by ODE to offer input and advocate for music to be a part of the state development plan. We are partnering with other arts advocacy groups around the state to develop recommendations. We are also asking members for input and ideas. Look for ESSA session at the OMEA Professional Development Conference in Cleveland this February. Contact Rachael Fleischaker at rfleisch@kent.edu for more information or to become involved.

ADJUDICATED EVENTS Adjudicated Events News & Updates JD Latorre; Adjudicated Events Chair A huge thank you goes out to Jay Wardeska and Stephanie Smith for a great season of marching band Adjudicated Events! Remember that applications to host a 2017 event are due the first week in January. Contact Jay Wardeska, Marching Band Affairs Chair, for more information about hosting a local event. ADJUDICATED EVENTS REGISTRATION Please register early for all adjudicated events to avoid potential last minute issues. Late registrations will NOT be accepted. If you are having problems contact me or Greg Taylor, the OMEA Technology Director, before the registration deadline. NEW OPEN CLASS FOR SOLOS AT HS SOLO AND ENSEMBLE Beginning this winter, directors will have the option to register a student performing a solo at High School S&E in a new Open Class. This is designed for a student who is preparing a classical work for a college audition that does not appear on the OMEA list. Similar to Festival Class at Large Group, the student will receive written comments from the adjudicator, but will NOT earn a rating. CHANGE OF DISTRICT AND REGION FOR LARGE GROUP EVENTS DIRECTIONS All requests to perform out of district for 2017 Large Group Events need to be made through the portal. Log onto the portal; choose Large Group from the online registration menu and select the appropriate event. Do this for each ensemble that you are requesting to perform out of District/Region. The deadline is January 1 for State Orchestra and High School Band and Choir and March 1 for Junior High. 28
You will receive an email confirming your request. This is only a confirmation of the request, not approval. Within a few weeks, you will receive an email approving your assignment. This email will automatically be sent to the appropriate event chair. You will still need to register for the specific site like everyone else. Again, please make sure that you complete one form for each ensemble that you are registering. There is NO option to perform out-ofdistrict for Solo and Ensemble Events. NEW FEES FOR 2016-17 EVENTS There will be new fees in place for all Adjudicated Events this year, beginning with State Marching Band Finals this fall. This fee increase is part of the established two-year cycle (fees are increased every other year). However, this cycle will last three years, that is to say fees will not be raised again until fall of 2019. HS Large Group: $210.00 (District) $240.00 (State LG and SMBF) JH Large Group: $150.00 HS Solo & Ensemble: $18.00 (Solos) $23.00 (Ensembles) JH Solo & Ensemble: $15.00 (Solos) $19.00 (Ensembles) TRIAD
THE NEW ADJUDICATOR EVALUATION SYSTEM The AE Committee is very pleased with the how well the AES functioned in its first full year of implementation and we are all excited about its potential for the future. We believe this represents a revolutionary change in how a director submits feedback on adjudicators and provides our adjudication corps with a great opportunity to further hone their skills. Just like last year, the AES will be in place for all OMEA Adjudicated Events during the 2016.17 school year. A few reminders: • AES is found on the Members Portal • An evaluation rating of “5” is the highest, “1” is the lowest • A rating of a “1” should be followed by comments and sending the Director of Adjudication a copy of the rating sheet and/or the recording • The AE Committee reviews every “1” rating when supporting materials are provided
AE SESSIONS AT THE 2017 OMEA CONFERENCE There will be many sessions offered by the AE Committee at the 2017 OMEA Professional Development Conference in Cleveland. These sessions are a great way to learn more about adjudicated events. Each session gives the opportunity for you to ask questions to help you prepare for 2017 adjudicated events and beyond. There will be sessions for the new teacher, adjudicators, directors, and site chairs. DUETS FOR VOCAL, WINDS, AND PERCUSSION AT JUNIOR HIGH S&E Looking ahead to JH S&E, we will be piloting the addition of duets this year in three districts. DISTRICTS: D3, D9, AND D10. It is limited to only three Districts so that we can be certain we have sufficient facility space at host sites and adjudicators to serve demand. These sites should provide us with sufficient data to consider the feasibility of adding duets state wide. If you are a member in one of these districts, look for more detailed information to come later this year.

Recognizing student achievement at OMEA Adjudicated Events is great way to encourage student participation and advocate for your program. The OMEA adjudicated event awards program is an inexpensive way to recognize and reward your students. Many directors find creative ways to fund award purchases. In some cases community service organizations (e.g., Rotary, Kiwanis, etc.), parent-teacher organizations, and/or individual benefactors are willing to purchase awards for students. Additionally, many administrators have a discretionary fund that can be used for student recognition, including the purchase of OMEA awards. With a little digging you may find your own unique funding source! When filling out the award order form, please be sure to complete all sections, including phone and email. While most orders can be filled and shipped the same day, at times inventory may be low for certain items. Allow enough lead-time if you need your awards on a specific date. Also, make sure all orders include a check, payable to OMEA. Remember, every award purchased and worn by a student is a statement for music advocacy! Please contact myself, or any member of the OMEA Staff if we can be of assistance.

HIGHER EDUCATION NEWS ASHLAND UNIVERSITY Dr. Rowland Blackley, Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities, led the University Choir and Chamber Singers on their spring tour to Washington, DC, singing at several schools and churches. Highlights included programs at the historic St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church on Capitol Hill and Washington National Cathedral. He also conducted Bach Cantata No. 43 and all the choral and orchestral music for a vespers service in collaboration with Trinity Lutheran Church (Ashland); and presented a repertoire session at the annual professional conference of the Ohio Choral Directors Association. Two of his choral compositions were published this summer based on texts by Shakespeare and Michael Drayton: “Blow, Winter Wind” for mixed voices, and “Since There’s No Help” for treble voices. Dr. Christina Fuhrmann, Professor of Music, presented a paper entitled “Aladdin vs. Oberon” at the conference Theatre in the Regency Era in Cambridge, England in July 2016. CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY In September, the Department of Music welcomed back alum, Dr. Rollo Dilworth (BS ’91) to the CWRU campus. Administrators, faculty and students celebrated his visit with a performance conducted by Dr. Dilworth and featuring a number of his compositions. Students from the R.

HISTORICALLY SPEAKING Jack O. Evans and Frederick Fennell The Cleveland Orchestra Connection Paul Droste; Ohio State University Before Jack Evans and Frederick Fennell became music education and conducting luminaries they were boyhood friends and grew up together on Cleveland’s southeast side. Both Fennell and Evans attended the same public schools and performed in the same music ensembles throughout the 1920’s and early 1930’s. I was privileged to study under both men. Jack Evans was my OSU Marching Band director and euphonium instructor. My teaching career at the public school level and the college level was defined by “what would Jack do in this situation?” Playing under Fred Fennell at Eastman changed my approach to teaching: his enthusiasm in every rehearsal and concert was contagious. Fennell had an energetic and flamboyant personality, while Evans was noted for his disciplined approach. Fennell was the promoter and Evans was the organizer. Evans and Fennell grew up in the same neighborhood and both experienced the loss of a parent at an early age. Fennell’s mother died in a diphtheria epidemic. Evans’ family was sent to Cleveland to live with his paternal grandparents during World War One. His father, a Navy man, was eventually lost at sea. Evans‘ family lived in a boarding house, while Fennell was raised on what was part of a large farm. Evans and Fennell first connected at Miles Elementary and Junior High School. After a short period of study on the trombone, Evans joined the orchestra at Miles Junior High. There were many talented members in this orchestra, but Evans particularly remembered “a cocky little guy named Fred Fennell” who played percussion. Fennell and Evans then attended Cleveland John Adams High School, a cosmopolitan school of over 3600 students from the surrounding ethnic neighborhoods. They played in marching band, concert band, and orchestra together, all under the direction of Amos 36
Wesler. In 1932 their John Adams Orchestra took first place in the National High School Orchestra Contest, held in Lincoln, Nebraska. Fennell and Evans also held prominent roles in their high school marching band with Fennell serving as the drum major and Evans as the drill sergeant. After nationwide auditions, Evans and Fennell were both selected to play in the 300- piece National High School Orchestra, performing in the 1932 Music Supervisors National Conference Convention, held in Cleveland. Both were offered half scholarships to the new National Music Camp. Fennell’s family was able to send him to Interlochen, where his connection with Howard Hanson led to a scholarship at Eastman. Evans could not afford Interlochen, and he was forced to be a live-at-home student at Western Reserve University, where he met Carol Jones, who was also a member of the National High School Orchestra and would become his classmate at WRU and later, his wife. Although Evans and Fennell went in different directions for their college studies, their love for marching bands was a constant tie. Both became college marching band directors, before moving on to other areas of concentration. In 1933 Fennell started his studies at the Eastman School of music in Rochester, New York. Fennell hoped to be the drum major of the University of Rochester marching band, but the athletic director said, “We don’t have a band - as far as I can remember, we’ve never had a marching band.” Undaunted, Fennell convinced him, and Dr. Howard Hanson, that he could form one, made up mostly of Eastman students. Starting with a small group of players and makeshift uniforms, Fennell led the band down the field, even incorporating a successful goal post toss and catch in his routine. For eleven years Fennell wrote the shows, TRIAD

charted the formations, and arranged the music. Eventually, it grew into a 48-piece band - almost all brass, with a few saxophones, piccolos and drums, but no flutes or clarinets. After the first season, the students urged Fennell to start an indoor concert band. Two years later Dr. Hanson insisted that the band move to Eastman where it became the Eastman Symphony Band, which Fennell conducted - first as a student, then later as a faculty member. After Fennell earned his bachelor’s degree in percussion in 1937, and Masters degree in 1939, he was offered a conducting position at Eastman. Evans first joined the WRU Marching Band as a trombonist in 1934 and then became its drum major for the 1935 and 1936 seasons. Following graduation in 1937, Evans became an instrumental music teacher and band director in the Shaker Heights school system. He was also an on-call substitute trombonist with the Cleveland Orchestra, and became a full-time member of the Cleveland Orchestra Summer Pops in 1942 and 1943. Both Evans and Fennell had their careers interrupted by service in World War II. Evans led an Army show band in England and France. He was often mistaken for Glenn Miller because, fronting the band with his trombone, he resembled Miller. Evans had another Cleveland connection when accordionist Frankie Yankovic, “America’s Polka King,” was assigned to his Army band. Fennell served the USO during the war as a National Music Advisor. Returning to Eastman, he resumed his career as a band and orchestra conductor, but gave up the marching band. While working with the wind sections of the orchestras, he discovered a love for the smaller group of winds, mostly one on a part. History was made when Fennell founded the Eastman Wind Ensemble in 1952. . Following the war, Evans returned to Shaker Heights to rebuild the band program. Shortly after he was hired at OSU in 1947, he started a second concert band, in addition to his low brass teaching duties. He also served as Manley Whitcomb’s assistant with the OSU Marching Band, and followed Whitcomb as director in 1952, leading the band for 14 seasons. Evans and Fennell shared a love of marches, and both programmed marches regularly in their concerts. A Fennell specialty was ending concerts with “Three Diverse Marches.” Fennell recorded many albums with the Eastman Wind Ensemble, also made highly acclaimed albums with the Cleveland Symphonic DECEMBER 2016/JANUARY 2017
Winds, and recorded with Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. He was one of the most recorded band directors of his time. Evans’ output, however, was limited to three LP’s with the OSU Marching Band, featuring traditional marches and OSU school songs. An interesting comparison with Fennell could be made, as they recorded some of the same marches. Both were masters of conducting unwritten bass drum and cymbal accents “ka-booms” and “ka- chings” - on marches. Fennell credited these special effects to Dr. A. A. Harding, the University of Illinois director, under whom he had played at Interlochen. Patriotism is another characteristic that Evans and Fennell shared. The Civil War - Its Music and Its Sounds was a two-volume set recorded by the Eastman Wind Ensemble, which received a citation and medal from the Congressional Committee for the Centennial of the Civil War in 1961. Evans and the OSU Marching Band received a National Freedoms Foundation Award in 1959 for the halftime show entitled It’s a Grand Old Flag. Evans left the OSU Marching Band after the 1963 season, and finished his career at Ohio State as chair of brass studies and career counselor. Fennell left Eastman in 1962 to be Associate Conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, then moved to University of Miami, in Florida, as conductor-in-residence, and ended his long and successful conducting career in Japan with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. Evans and Fennell were both honored as concert band directors with membership in the prestigious American Bandmasters Association (ABA). Both men were life-long teachers and stayed active until shortly before their deaths. Evans died in 2001 at the age of 86 and Fennell died in 2004 at the age of 91. These two famous Ohioans, with a strong musical education beginning in the Cleveland Public Schools, have left a long-lasting legacy as music educators and band directors. Paul Droste grew up in suburban Cleveland. His degrees are from The Ohio State University (BSE), Eastman School of Music (MM) and The University of Arizona (AMusD). Droste taught in the Pickerington and Lakewood Public Schools before a 25 year tenure at Ohio State, where he directed the Marching Band for 14 season. After his retirement he worked as Educational Director of Colonial Music. Droste founded the Brass Band of Columbus in 1984 and directed it for 20 years. He was elected to membership in The American Bandmasters Association and had an active career as an educator, Yamaha clinician, euphonium soloist, and conductor. 39
IN MEMORIAM DR. DONALD E. McGINNIS 1917-2016 Clarinetist, Conductor, Flutist, Professor, Naval Officer, College Administrator, Sports Fan, Composer, Mentor, Studio Teacher, Inspiration to the Profession … … all these words describe a man who lived a very full life: one which ended just one week after his 99th birthday. Preceded in death only four months earlier by his life-long companion and loving wife Ruth, Don passed away peacefully on October 28, 2016 in his home in Hilliard, Ohio. Don McGinnis, Professor Emeritus and Director of Bands Emeritus at The Ohio State University School of Music, was an avid fan of collegiate sports throughout his life – he even played guard his senior year on the varsity football team! – but his love of sports was eclipsed by his lifelong devotion to music. He was born in Barberton, Ohio, in 1917 and remained a loyal Ohioan and Buckeye his entire life. With BM and BME Degrees from Oberlin College (clarinet performance and music education), he embarked on a career that would come to inspire thousands of musicians who would follow. After a year as Oberlin High School’s band director, Don was hired by Eugene Weigel to teach all of the woodwind students, assist with both the Concert and Marching Bands, and conduct the regimental bands at Ohio State. The year was 1941 and after winning the Principal Clarinetist chair in the Columbus Philharmonic, his near 40-year career at Ohio State was interrupted by his enlistment in the 40
United States Navy, in which he eventually achieved the rank of Lieutenant JG as the Communication Officer on the USS Lucidor in the South Pacific. Because he was originally commissioned to be principal clarinetist and featured soloist in the highly regarded Pre-Flight School Band that was stationed in Iowa City, his three-year stint in the U.S. Navy also provided him an opportunity to begin his pursuit of advanced degrees at the University of Iowa, receiving an MA and later, a 1953 PhD in music theory and composition. His Symphony for Band was written as his dissertation and was eventually published in the Hal Leonard catalogue. In 1946, Don married Ruth and returned to Ohio State as a full-time professor of flute, clarinet, and associate conductor of the OSU Concert Band, sharing the podium with Manley Whitcomb. When “Whit” left for Florida State University in 1953, Weigel appointed Jack Evans director of the Marching Band and Don McGinnis director of the Concert Band, resulting in the enrichment of the band program’s numerous traditions and establishing the standards of excellence for many years to come. Under his leadership, the Concert Band earned national and international recognition with performances in illustrious venues such as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, making widely-acclaimed recordings, enabling commissions for new works, and earning awards as an ensemble of the highest caliber. Many of Don’s clarinet and flute students, including Richard Stoltzman, Howard Klug and Ohio State faculty Katherine Borst Jones and Caroline Hartig to name a few, went on to enjoy wonderfully influential professional careers of their own.
The band profession-at-large held Don in their highest regard as well, resulting in his being elected into the prestigious American Bandmasters Association in 1956, elected president in 1976, later named ABA Honorary Life Member and Honorary Life President, receiving a Resolution from the Ohio House of Representatives for Outstanding Contributions in Teaching, Performance, and Leadership in 1977, Honorary Life Memberships in TBDBITL (The Best Damn Band in the Land) and The Ohio State University Alumni Band in 1977, and the coveted Medal of Honor at the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic in 1988. It would be impossible to contextualize the contributions of this incredible artist/teacher without using words such as profound, timeless, far-reaching, creative, influential, inspirational, and eternal. –––Richard Blatti, Professor Emeritus, The Ohio State University School of Music–––

JAZZ EDUCATION CONNECTION OF OHIO How to Make Jazz Studies Curriculum Viable for Jazz Performance and Music Education Majors Bobby Selvaggio
One criticism I often hear about jazz music in academia is that it makes jazz performers sound like they are playing straight out of a book. This type of playing can be described as “head” versus “heart”; that is, performing too technically or theoretically versus playing from the soul or with emotion. Jazz was always music that was learned in clubs or at jam sessions ─ places where musicians would gather to hang out, talk about music, and play together. Traditionally, Jazz created a unique environment in which young and upcoming musicians would learn directly from a mentor, practice all day, and perform all night. However, now that colleges have been offering programs in Jazz Studies for many years, that environment has begun to encourage students to take out a book, learn some licks over a few tunes, and perform those exact patterns at a jury to pass the class. By moving to this “head” versus “heart” way of teaching, we have begun to lose sight of the most fundamental aspect of jazz: that it is a pure, improvisational driven music. Another big change I have noticed in young jazz students today is they are not growing up listening to jazz music on a regular basis, if even at all. I have too often come across college students who want to be jazz musicians or teach high school jazz, but don’t have a true understanding of what the music sounds like. They played in a big band in high school, liked it a lot, and think that is what they will be studying. But high school programs are not entirely to blame for this trend; jazz music is barely emphasized in daily society, so students come to college having no real understanding of what jazz truly is. In order to reverse this trend, we must come up 42
with basic principles around which to build a jazz education curriculum and then apply those fundamentals to music education as a whole. As I developed as an educator in particular, I spent a lot of time thinking about what the concept “improvisational driven” truly means. I feel it breaks down into four main elements: Ear Training, Theory, Technique, and Style. This might be slightly old school, but I strongly believe that learning tunes out of a book is counterproductive. Developing the ear is essential not only in jazz music, but music in general. If we always use a book to learn jazz repertoire, we take an essential element of musical development out of the equation. Working with students on melodic and harmonic ear training is extremely important. Making them learn tunes off a record, not out of a book, not only influences the way they learn the music, but also ensures that they learn the sounds of jazz through repetitious listening. This also helps develop the concept of selective listening versus casual listening ─ i.e., the ability to focus on one element of the music at a time, such as the chords or the bass line to figure out the harmony, the interpretation of the melody, or the interaction of all the musicians during improvisations. To me, ear training should be at the forefront of all we do as musicians and educators. While ear training is extremely important, theory is also an essential element of performing and understanding music. I talk with students a lot about being effortless and immediate with everything they do, and that immediacy comes from knowing their instrument and understanding what it is they are playing. As improvising musicians, jazz players TRIAD
WE’LL GET YOU GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION 1-877-290-6777
have to make instantaneous decisions, manipulating and developing the music in the midst of a performance. In essence, jazz improvisation is spontaneous composition. Since we compose in real time, our ability to access and apply theory instantaneously is essential. When I have transcribed and analyzed the most complex solos (e.g., John Coltrane’s solo on India), one thing I’ve come to notice is how fairly fundamental all of the ideas being played truly are. It comes back to the same concepts, time after time: know your scales, intervals, triads, and arpeggios effortlessly. Once again, don’t always allow students to use books to practice those things, since it makes them have to think and listen less. Encourage them to be creative and come up with new, unique ways to practice fundamentals. I tell my students all the time to create their own book. The biggest comment I get from non-musicians when I’m performing modern original jazz is “what kind of music are you playing?” In general, people don’t understand there are many styles of jazz. They always say how much they like and have enjoyed the music, but they don’t realize it’s still jazz. Young jazz students and music education majors should be reminded that jazz continued to evolve after the 1930s. To put it simply, when it comes to style, you need to constantly imitate, assimilate, and innovate. In this way, jazz musicians are learning the tradition while moving the music forward with their own individual voices. When I went to OMEA last year in Cincinnati, I gave a clinic on improvisation. I started the clinic with a series of questions to the high school jazz band directors in particular. I would like to share how part of that session, with around 20 professional music educators, went. “How many of you played in a High School Jazz Band?” I asked. They all raised their hands. “How many of you played in a College Jazz Band?” Half raised their hands. “How many of you took a Jazz Techniques class at the college level?” Only three raised their hands. Experiences like this continue to remind me that Music Education majors are expected to teach jazz bands with little or no jazz training. They have no idea what the process for teaching jazz and improvisation should look like. They have no real idea of what jazz sounds like or any understanding of what it truly is, and that 44
is a travesty. However, if we can reform jazz curriculum at the college level, we will surely see a domino effect in the understanding, appreciation, and proficiency of jazz. And that will be beneficial for everyone. Bobby Selvaggio is one of the leading alto saxophone voices on today’s jazz scene. In the words of pianist Kenny Werner, “Bobby is among the best of players out there,” and legendary saxophonist Joe Lovano praises Bobby by calling him “one of the few young saxophonists on the scene today that captures you with his strong presence, focus, and sound.” Bobby, who grew up in the Cleveland area, earned his Bachelor of Music in Music Performance from Kent State University. He eventually moved to New York City and earned a Masters degree in Jazz Performance from the Manhattan School of Music. While in New York, Bobby studied with Joe Lovano, Bobby Watson, Dick Oatts, and Maria Schneider. After living in New York City and gigging around town at places like the Vanguard, Smalls, and Birdland for four years, Bobby decided to move back to Cleveland with his family. He has dedicated himself to keeping jazz alive in Cleveland and his passion for jazz education has led him to serve as Director of Jazz Studies at Kent State University. In addition to his work in jazz education, Bobby continues to expand his discography. His most recent recording is Short Stories (Origin Records, 2014) featuring Aaron Goldberg on the piano, which followsWay Of Being (Arabesque Records, 2013), Grass Roots Movement (Arabesque Records, 2011) and Modern Times (Arabesque Records, 2009). Modern Times featured Kenny Werner on piano and Sean Jones on trumpet. Bobby’s Unspoken Dialogue (Playscape Recordings, 2007), also featured Kenny Werner, as well as Jamey Haddad on drums, Ben Street on bass, and Paul Tynan on trumpet. In addition to playing alto saxophone, Bobby also plays soprano saxophone and alto clarinet.

OHIO CHORAL DIRECTORS ASSOCATION Collaboration: A Key to Future Success Loren C. Veigel; OCDA President Dr. Timothy Sharp, ACDA’s innovative and brilliant National Executive Director, has written a book on Collaboration in the Arts. In this thought-provoking book, Tim asserts the necessity for collaboration to secure the long-term future of arts ensembles. Having worked over the last decade with a community choir, I can personally attest to the truth of his assertion. We all must understand the implications of collaboration – “laboring together toward common goals.” Benefits compound as arts organizations “team up” for achievement. OCDA continues this year as a proud affiliate organization of OMEA. Benefits, indeed, compound! OCDA members are permitted to register for OMEA Professional Conference at member rates. Registration forms can be found on the OCDA website, ohiocda.org. We are proud to present three Choral Reading Sessions at OMEA Conference. These sessions have been immensely popular; the music packets provided for every participant allow you to take home a wealth of new choral music selected by expert Ohio music educators. Plan your OMEA conference schedule to include at least one reading session helpful for your area of teaching – Junior High/ Middle School music will be presented Friday, 8:00-9:00 a.m., in CC 3; High School/ University music on Friday, 10:30-11:30 in the CC Junior Ballroom; and, Elementary music will be read on Saturday, 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. in CC 3. Ohio choral educators are assured excellent opportunities for targeted professional growth at OMEA conference through our affiliation, which guarantees OCDA the inclusion of choral interest sessions in the conference program. These sessions allow educators to expand their awareness of rehearsal methods, new technologies, and to be 46
inspired by great leaders in our field. One of our proudest achievements through the OMEA/OCDA affiliation is only beginning to materialize. With the support of OCDA, Suzanne Walters (Jackson Schools, Stark County) single-handedly developed a non-competitive festival for Elementary School choirs. Her passion and administrative skills made this event a tremendous success and a wonderful opportunity for hundreds of young singers. Now, with the assistance of OMEA, the Elementary School choral festivals will be expanding to multiple regional events. Under the new chairmanship of Julie Strebler (Coventry Schools, Summit County), elementary teachers will want to watch for information about these opportunities through shared resources of OCDA and OMEA. As you make your plans for next summer, don’t forget the OCDA Summer Conference, to be held on the beautiful campus of Otterbein University June 19-21, 2017. With all the technological and communication tools available to us, OCDA members realize the tremendous asset of personal contact. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from national headliner clinicians as well as Ohio colleagues. You’ll read and take home lots of new music, hear performances by excellent Ohio choirs, and – most important of all – spend three days in personal exchange with your fellow choral professionals. Watch ohiocda.org for Summer Conference information. Collaboration can be a wonderful thing. It is my hope that the affiliation between OCDA and OMEA is only in its infancy – music professionals in Ohio will benefit from this collaboration for many years! Chorally yours, Loren TRIAD

WHAT IS A GREAT STUDENT DESTINATION THAT MANY TEACHERS ARE NOT AWARE OF? Cleveland, Ohio is one of the best kept secrets in student travel. Cleveland has such a rich history. George Washington once said that a great city would stand in the blessed spot where the Cuyahoga River met Lake Erie. Steel and oil barons built a monumental downtown which has grown into a modern-day cultural icon that includes the world-renowned Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Orchestra. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland Aquarium and Great Lakes Science Center combined with the Hard Rock Café and Dinner and Sightseeing Cruises on Lake Erie make Cleveland a city that everyone should experience. Cedar Point Amusement Park, the “Rollercoaster Capital of the World” is just a short drive up the coast. Cleveland really has it all!

AN INVITATION FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
CLEVELAND 2017
MARK HENSLER The 2017 OMEA Professional
NORTH COAST
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE
Development Conference
FEBRUARY 2-4, 2017
We are excited to be returning to the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland for the 2017 OMEA Professional Development Conference – the “North Coast Conference”. The city of Cleveland has continued to grow and develop new and updated housing and dining options, which I am sure you will enjoy. The 2017 PDC team of content chairs, standing chairs and OMEA staff has been hard at work securing the top presenters and clinicians in the field of music education to meet your professional development needs. The 2017 PDC will offer the most significant “special focus” track in OMEA history and several new initiatives sparked by member surveys and other data. Notable changes include a restructured session schedule; selected 90-minute session times; several clinic-concert sessions; and more “first time” OMEA presenters. The 2017 special focus sessions are made possible by a generous grant from the Ohio Arts Council. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to a continuing partnership with the OAC. Don’t miss your chance to explore such topics as teaching in urban and rural schools; managing resources in low-income communities; improving classroom behavior; non-traditional music education; the impact of the Every Student Succeeds Act; working with special learners and more. The blind-audition process for performing groups has resulted in another program of outstanding ensembles of all shapes and sizes. TI:ME technology sessions, All-State concerts and plentiful networking/social opportunities guarantee another “must attend” event for music educators. The exhibit hall in the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland will be filled with many familiar faces and a few new ones. Attendees have been asking for more time to visit the exhibits and more time to find a meal without missing so many sessions. The new schedule builds in flextime for attendees to use as they wish - eat, visit vendor booths, network or just get off of your feet for a few minutes! Make your plans NOW to join us in Cleveland, February 2-4 for the 2017 North Coast Conference. Still undecided? Be sure to check out the new PDC website featuring some of the outstanding presenters slated for the 2017 PDC (see list in TRIAD). The “Conference” tab (left side of OMEA homepage) will also host a preregistration link; information on the Instructional-Hour Certificate Program (IHCP); graduate credit options; housing reservations; reception request form and more.
