TCDA Officers Greetings from the President

Jeff Rice president

Welcome to the 57th Annual TCDA Convention and New Music Reading Clinic!

On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to express my thanks to you for making TCDA a part of your summer plans. The TCDA Convention has a unique role in the choral music profession. In an age where much of our communication is done electronically, it is important to have a time such as this to congregate with friends and colleagues for the purpose of remaining engaged musically, intellectually, and personally. While TCDA offers inspiration through national-quality workshops, reading sessions, and performances, it is often the fellowship times at dinner or late at night that rejuvenate us most. Choral music is about connecting with people and we need this time to connect with others in our profession.

The TCDA Board has worked diligently throughout the year to design a fantastic Convention for you. In addition to attending the workshops and reading sessions, I strongly encourage you to spend time in the exhibit hall. The vendors who purchase booth space in our exhibit hall are the lifeline of our Convention. Without their attendance and financial investment, our TCDA Convention would look much different. Carve out some time in your day to wander through the exhibit hall and do business with our exhibitors.

Have a great time in San Antonio and a wonderful 2012-13 school year!

Jeff Rice

Her teaching career began at Groves JH in Port Neches, continued at Houston’s Kinkaid School, and at Houston Community College, where she became Fine Arts Department head and developed an associates degree in vocational conducting specifically designed for church choir directors. During her teaching career, Betty received an international award for excellence in 1996, and is listed in Notable Women in Texas. Her church music career has included both Methodist and Presbyterian churches and has involved organizing and conducting numerous choral ensembles, concerts and tours. In 1985, Betty became music minister at Foundry UMC, where she was ordained in 1996, and now serves as worship pastor, conducting services for Foundry’s 5,000 member congregation.

She founded and has been the conductor of the Houston Choral Society for 24 years, conducting all of the major requiems (except Berlioz), and major works, such as Carmina Burana.

If elected....

Betty is on the Board of Advisors of Cy-Hope, a non-profit initiative formed to make life better for at risk children in the Cy-Fair ISD and help each school achieve exemplary status. Long an advocate and supporter of music in the schools, and of school music teachers, she is developing a music initiative partnering the Houston Choral Society, Foundry UMC, and Cy-Hope to create music initiatives in the Cy-Hope Centers and get high school students involved in the mission. She would love to encourage a relationship between schools and churches in Texas that would allow support of the incredible work that our music teachers accomplish under very difficult circumstances.

Sharon Paul is in her 31st year of teaching choral music in Texas and currently in her 15th year as head choral director at Cypress Creek HS in the Cy-Fair ISD. The choirs of Cypress Creek have earned consistent UIL sweepstakes, outstanding performance awards at contests throughout the state, and performed in Florida, California, New York, and the Vatican. Prior to Cypress Creek, she taught in the Klein ISD at Wunderlich MS. Under her direction, the Wunderlich Advanced Girls were invited to perform for the 1990 TMEA Convention.

Sharon holds a MM from Sam Houston State University and a BME from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.

If elected....

I would truly enjoy the opportunity to serve TCDA and lead the organization that has enriched my life and given me great joy.

It would be my vision to continue the strong leadership that has become the trademark of TCDA. Serving as High School VP for two years has given me insight for the job and I would gladly devote my all in serving our great organization.

As we face the challenges of the economy, new legislation, and educational trends, my goal would be to look for innovative strategies to keep our choral programs vibrant and flourishing. TCDA has always been a proactive source for our programs and I look forward to finding solutions that perpetuate the continued success of choral music in our Texas schools, communities, colleges, and churches.

TCDA has always meant friendships, networking, and the sharing of ideas. We have a rich heritage of service to each other, our profession, and our students. I would continue to honor our history of excellence while developing plans for the future and the posterity of TCDA. I would be deeply honored to serve TCDA. If elected, I would gladly commit my time and passion to serve you, our Texas choral directors.

Billy Talley has served as choral director at Tascosa HS for twenty-eight years.

He earned a BME and a MM from West Texas State University in Canyon, where he was mentored by Dr Hugh Sanders. Before coming to Tascosa, he taught at Dickinson HS and Pampa HS. His Tascosa HS choirs performed for the TMEA Convention in 1991, 1995, and 2002. His THS Women’s Choir performed for the 2009 National ACDA Convention in Oklahoma City. He has served as an adjudicator and clinician for UIL Contests, choral festivals, and region choirs in Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Missouri. In 2010, Billy was selected to prepare and direct the Oklahoma All-State Women’s Choir. He has served in a number of capacities at the region and state levels. He served as High School VP on the TCDA Board from 2007-09. Three times he has been named Teacher of the Year at Tascosa HS. In 2003, a readers’ poll for the Amarillo Globe-News selected him as the city’s Outstanding Teacher. He was the founding director of the Amarillo Boychoir. He has been Music Director at St Paul UMC for the past thirteen years.

If elected....

TCDA has played a major role in my development as a choral musician over the past thirty-three years. By attending new music reading sessions, I have expanded my choral repertoire. Through the interest sessions and workshops, I have refined my concept of choral tone, rehearsal flow, and sightsinging techniques. By hearing lectures presented by top choral conductors, my vision for what is possible through choral music has broadened.

When I attended my first TCDA Convention in 1979, I never dreamed that TCDA would become such an important part of my life or that I might someday have the chance to lead our organization. I am humbled by that possibility.

I believe that I have much to offer if elected to serve as President-Elect. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to organize.

Putting together an effective convention program requires some major organizational skills. I would welcome that challenge. I welcome the opportunity to work with current and future Board members to insure that TCDA continues to serve the needs of Texas choral directors as it has done for the past fifty-five years.

Dr Vicki D Baker is Assistant Professor of Music and Coordinator of Music Education at Texas Woman’s University. She received a PhD in Music Education from Texas Tech and her MA from TWU. Prior to entering higher education, Vicki taught elementary and secondary choral music in Texas public schools for 13 years, receiving numerous teaching awards including Most Influential Educator and Teacher of the Year for her school district.

During her 24 years of membership, Vicki has presented at annual TCDA Conventions, served on several committees: Hospitality, Ballot, Ways & Means, and has written articles for Texas Sings! She has also published research in the Journal of Music Teacher Education, Journal of Historical Research in Music Education, ChorTeach, Texas Music Education Research, and Southwestern Musician.

Vicki serves as a choral clinician and adjudicator and conducts choral workshops throughout Texas. She has published choral works, and composes music for the Texas UIL Choral Sight Reading Contest.

If elected....

As our state legislature continues to sound forth the battle cry of budget cuts, music educators in elementary and secondary schools, as well as higher education, feel an impending sense of doom. Programs are being cut, assistantships are being eliminated, and the climate for students desiring to major in music education becomes exceedingly dismal as multiple experienced teachers are vying for available positions.

In order to preserve the fine choral tradition in our state, we must face this crisis proactively and with a determination that “we shall overcome.” What can ignite a flame of hope in the midst of darkness and despair? The fact that we believe what we do is so critically important to students that we are willing to make whatever sacrifices are necessary to keep our choral programs afloat.

If elected, I will lead the crusade for the continuation of choral excellence in Texas.

Our primary charge is to keep our passion and love for music and teaching burning so brightly within our souls that it cannot be quenched by the state legislature, school boards, or administrators.

We need to encourage and help our colleagues, reaching across barriers of grade levels or school affiliations. If our choral community is united in advocating for programs and positions, then we stand a chance to survive the economic onslaught.

Richard Bjella became full professor and Director of Choral Studies at Texas Tech in 2009. The highly acclaimed University Choir made its Carnegie performance debut on May 2, 2010, to rave reviews and were proud to sing at the 2012 TMEA Convention.

Previous to 2009, Richard was the Director of Choral Studies at Lawrence University. The Concert Choir most recently performed for the 2009 National ACDA Convention in Oklahoma City. Richard has conducted outside the US in Europe and Asia and has guest conducted over 350 festivals and workshops in 28 states. Last year he was honored to conduct the Arizona All-State, the All Northwest State MENC All-State (Seattle), and the Collegiate All-State Choir in Wisconsin. Richard has served as President of the Wisconsin CDA, has been a part of the CMP leadership team for Wisconsin MEA, and various state and regional leadership positions with ACDA and WMEA as well. In 2007, he was awarded the Lawrence Excellence in Teaching Award. This season Richard is conducting the National OAKE HS Choir in Arizona, and presenting workshops and guest conducting in Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, Washington, Texas, Colorado, and Connecticut.

If elected....

As a new member of the Texas community, but a veteran educator (old Norwegian), I am continually inspired, renewed, and challenged by the excellence of the teaching at all levels in the choral area. I have been enriched by the experiences of working with over 40 choirs from throughout Texas in the last few years.

It is indeed an honor to be asked to run for the College/Community VP. Having served in similar capacities of leadership while at Lawrence University in Wisconsin as College and Community R&S Chair as well as NC ACDA chair for Community Choirs, I am well aware of both the challenges and opportunities for musical and organizational growth. If elected, I hope to try and bring about the best in communication and openness to ideas that may further our collective wisdom and musical integrity. As we explore the aspects of communicating via long-distance rehearsal sharing and bringing new repertoire to life, I am also interested in the process of teaching more holistically, growing through the shared experiences we all feel so deeply.

I would be honored to carry on the great work already firmly established within this Division. We have consistently done a great job of inviting quality ensembles to perform at our Convention, provide interest sessions for the newest members of our profession, provide inspiration through prominent guest speakers and offer our undergraduates the opportunity to conduct in a Master Class setting and in select Reading Sessions. I would like to . . .

• Organize round table discussions at our Convention on topics pertinent to college and community choir conductors led by colleagues from around the state.

Chris Crook serves as Minister of Music and Worship at the 6000-member St Andrew UMC of Plano.

When he arrived in 1998, just after graduating from Baylor University, the church had 2800 members and about 150 people involved in its music ministry. Today, over 400 singers and instrumentalists rehearse and lead worship weekly. Nearly 100 students study piano, violin, guitar, voice, organ, flute, and viola in the St Andrew Academy of Music.

Chris earned an undergraduate degree in church music from Mississippi College in Clinton. At Baylor, he studied with Donald Bailey and obtained a MM. While on a four-month sabbatical leave in 2009, Chris studied with Donald Neuen and Ronald Staheli, and remains involved in ongoing study with both of these professors. He has studied private voice with Madeline Sanders of Dallas for nearly 10 years, and maintains a small voice studio of his own. He is a current and founding advisory board member of the Center for Christian Music Studies at Baylor.

The St Andrew youth choir has 75 members and tours annually across the country. The 100-member Chancel Choir has received recognition in North Texas and abroad.

Members of the choir are currently preparing for a 2012 trip to Italy. They’ve sung in cathedrals across Europe, Carnegie Hall, Meyerson Symphony Center and at the “Alleluia” Conference at Baylor in 2009. Each year, the choir enjoys the experience of working with outstanding choral clinicians, and this year’s clinician is Ronald Staheli of Brigham Young University.

If elected....

It is an honor to be nominated for Church Music Division VP. If elected, my goal will be to find unique ways to equip and inspire church musicians across Texas just as TCDA has inspired and equipped me through the years.

It would be a privilege to be a representative voice for the very ones who’ve helped guide me in my own journey. Churches across our state are blessed with some of the finest musicians in the country. Just like their academic counterparts, these are musicians who will not settle for mediocrity. They realize their calling, and they strive for excellence.

Continuing education opportunities, creative worship planning ideas, exposure to quality repertoire and networking are essential to our success and ministry.

Dr Gary Mabry has been serving as a worship leader and church choir director for 40 years. He is now in his 21st year on the music faculty of the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he teaches voice, conducting, and directs both the UTSA Women’s Choir and the UTSA Men’s Chorus. He has served TCDA as Women’s Choir Repertoire and Standards Chair and was a conducting mentor for the first edition of this student event at the TCDA Convention. He currently serves as Music Director at Travis Park UMC of San Antonio, serving as a site coordinator for the 2010 Convention worship service that featured the music of John Rutter.

For two years he conducted the River City Ringers handbell ensemble. Gary served as Artistic Director and Conductor of the San Antonio Choral Society (1993-2006) that performed at the 2004 TCDA Convention. For several years he served as Chorus Master for the San Antonio Opera. He enjoys frequent engagements as a guest conductor and clinician for area middle school, high school and church choirs and conducted the Region XI SSA choir in November, 2011. A graduate of Abilene Christian University, Gary continues his involvement there as Conductor of ACU Alumni Chorus. He earned his MM from Hardin-Simmons University and received a DMA in 1987 from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

If elected....

I am honored to have the opportunity to serve TCDA in an area related to worship. I would like to be an advocate of the best in sacred music—artistic blend of text and music, hopeful and inclusive language and theology and music that stirs the spiritual imagination.

I would like to assist as a mentor to young church directors who need help working with the vocal technique of volunteer ensembles.

I would like to serve as a resource for church programs building their offerings for children, youth, handbells and senior adults and to develop strategies for involving more church members of all ages in music ministry, according to their gifts. I am also excited about having a role in helping plan the worship event for the TCDA Convention.

It is an absolute honor to be nominated for Elementary VP. If elected, I would strive to continue the high standards of leadership that have been set by those who have served and continue to serve this great organization. The challenges elementary music teachers face are ever changing. As such, I would like to see the elementary division membership grow by continuing to provide not only quality choral music reading sessions, but also workshops that would enhance our knowledge and refine our teaching skills. I would actively seek input from colleagues about the needs of teachers, and I would plan workshops that benefit the general music teacher as well as directors of children’s choirs.

Laura Rachita holds a BME from Baldwin-Wallace College and Conservatory outside of Cleveland, Ohio, and a MA in Counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake.

Throughout the past 19 years, she has been a classroom music teacher and choir director in grades PK-8, a private lesson instructor for flute and piccolo, as well as a counselor at the intermediate level. She has taught 8 years in Pasadena ISD and 7 years in Friendswood ISD, where she is currently the music teacher at Westwood El (grades K-3). During her tenure at Westwood, Laura has received the Teacher of the Year Award and the FISD Making a Difference Award. She also has served as mentor to 5 student teachers. Laura was privileged to present “Turn Your Recorder Woes into Recorder Whoas!” at the 2008 TMEA convention. Laura has been an active part of the music ministry at Friendswood UMC since 1995, as a Youth Choir director, Children’s Choir director and accompanist, member of the Festival Orchestra, and singer with the Contemporary Praise Band.

In 2009, Laura was part of a team from FISD to present at the 16th Annual National Forum on Character Education in Washington, DC. Providing leadership opportunities for all students (yes, even K) is a priority in the planning of her lessons. She enjoys looking at her curriculum as a 4-year program with an ultimate goal of “What do I want them to know by the time they leave 3rd grade?”

If elected....

Laura plans to work closely with colleagues to secure the very best presenters in a range of areas for the elementary classroom.

Laura will encourage Elementary Music Specialists to attend the summer TCDA Convention. She knows the job of an Elementary Specialist can be isolating, especially in a small district. Laura would like to increase the collaboration between teachers to help support one another. Laura believes we all make an impact on a child’s life each and every day. Music is active and interactive. Strive to make each and every interaction a positive one. The goal is for each child to be an active participant in class!

You and the Exhibits For your benefit, the TCDA Board has made a special effort to schedule times in our Convention when you may visit the exhibits with no conflicting TCDA sessions. It is our hope you will use this special time to meet and greet all of our exhibiting companies’ personnel. The exhibit area is one of the highlights of any TCDA convention. It is here that you as a director will find endless sources to help in your daily tasks. Since the exhibits complement the reading sessions, members should budget their time so they may attend reading sessions and workshops and still have ample time for the exhibits. To ensure maximum benefit from the exhibits, try the following guidelines: 1. Study the convention program and note the time available for visiting exhibits.

5. Whenever possible, register for the mailing lists of the exhibiting companies.

2. Locate exhibits which appeal most to your area of emphasis. However, don’t avoid others. They will afford you many new, fresh ideas.

6. When time and opportunity permit, get to know the sales people associated with each of the exhibiting companies. A personal contact between you and a company can be very valuable.

3. An abundance of free material will be offered to you.

Most exhibitors will be glad to send you literature or samples of their products; some even on approval, at no expense to you.

7. Finally, please express you appreciation to our Exhibitors for their product and for their support of TCDA.

4. Before removing anything from a booth, be sure it is a sample, free for the taking. The exhibit attendant will be glad to advise you.

2012 TCDA commissioned work C O L L E G E / C O M M U N I T Y

D I V I S I O N

love is the answer by Beverly Schlegel Eric Barnum, a young talented choral director and composer, is one of this year’s featured composers. Barnum’s voice and vision are gaining popularity with choir performances nationally and internationally. He composes for all levels of ensembles, from professional to youth choirs, and is the recipient of numerous awards and prestigious grants.

Most notably, Barnum was selected as Composer-in-Residence for Seattle’s Choral Arts, and this recording project will include his recent compositions.

Eric William Barnum Birthplace: Northern Minnesota Career: Lecturer in Choral Music, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh Education: Currently completing DMA Program at the University of Washington; Advanced degree in Choral Conducting, Minnesota State University; BA degrees in Composition and Vocal Performance, Bemnidji State University Awards: Bush Foundation Artist Fellowship; McKnight Foundation Grant; Residencies at Rose Garden Ensemble, Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and Kantorei in Denver; and selected as Composer-in-Residence for Seattle’s Choral Arts 2012-13 Season Favorite Composers: Sergei Rachmaninoff; Gerald Finzi; Thomas Newman

Tell us about yourself. Where were you born? Were your parents musical?

I was born in northern Minnesota in the Red River Valley in a place called Crookston. It’s a small farming community of about 10,000. My parents were not musical although they advocated music to me and my two brothers. We all took piano, and in a variety of degrees we all hated it - I hated it the least.

When did your interest in music begin? At what point did you want to become a composer?

I started piano in third grade, and enjoyed music classes in junior high and high school. I started playing the oboe in fifth grade to be different. In high school I expanded from the piano and started to do musicals. You can’t march with an oboe, so I started to play in a percussion section – drums, marimba, I tried everything. It never crossed my mind to write music, even through 16 years of piano. I went to college to study graphic design, and it was in my freshman year that I joined the choir, mainly as a way to stay connected. From there it didn’t take long to know that’s where I should be, in music. Still, though, I didn’t think about being a composer. I first realized this at 21, and then I wrote a note. For me, some things happened at that time that awakened this possibility, and then pretty quickly I developed my voice and my direction.

www.TCDA.net

Growing up, did you have favorite composers?

I liked movie music, and I definitely had favorite composers but none I looked to for inspiration. In the early days of composing, I developed some favorites pretty quickly. One was Gerald Finzi, a British composer and song-writer. I still think he is one of the best at setting text and poetry, and he is probably one composer that will always inspire me.

Also Thomas Newman, an American composer. Newman developed music for famous movies like The Shawshank Redemption and American Beauty. I love the sounds he creates and the way he uses space and creates pictures with music. He is someone who inspires me. I think some of the best composers are movie music composers; they are geniuses, and they can control us with their music.

Can you tell us about some of your upcoming projects?

I have completed five this year. Frequently I work with high schools when they contact me and want me to work on a piece. The one I’d like to highlight is the Composer-inResidence for Choral Arts in Seattle next year; what a fantastic group they are. I am good friends with Robert Bode, the writer of the text for the TCDA Commissioned Work. His school, the University of Missouri at Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance, helped underwrite the commissioned piece. I am working with him and his ensemble on a couple of

15

2012 TCDA commissioned work (continued) C O L L E G E / C O M M U N I T Y projects, including a Festival of High Schools, and they will be performing quite a few of my pieces.

I’d like to ask about the relationship that exists between a composer and the audience. It seems that today’s composers are writing music that communicates directly with the audience, making it integral to the creation or piece. Do you agree?

I think those of us in the music world would agree that music is a bit of a pendulum, and that some composers that preceded us may have alienated their audiences. And today, some might be engaging more with the masses and not always working hard at it; they want instant gratification and the audience doesn’t have to “sit with it” or cringe in certain places. Their thought is, giving the audience what they want is not a bad thing. But there is a down side, and that is writing music that doesn’t stretch the audience or challenge them.

I’m not saying the composer owes something to the audience but if they expect people to love their work, that’s going about it the wrong way. Composers need to find a balance between caring for the audience and challenging the audience.

When you are writing, do you think of an individual listening to your piece, or do you think of a room full of people? Or is the process strictly internal?

As a choral composer, I think less about the listener and more about the performer. This approach makes me a better composer because I’m not worried about how it’s going to be received; the performer will sell it. If the performer is finding it enjoyable to perform, I promise the audience will find it enjoyable to hear. It is freeing, by the way, if you do that.

How do you come up with ideas? What inspires you?

When people come to me, they already have a situation and then I come up with the idea that fits the situation, or I am given a word like Love, then I create a text that is unique.

For ideas, nature is a good place to go for me. I spend a lot of time there, outside the city, in the woods. Inspiration comes from poetry that inspires me. Situational or experiential, philosophical, whatever inspires me to find the right text; then the piece almost writes itself. The text has to be more important than my music, so I scour text and then be peaceful and quiet and sit with it and it sorts itself out and comes forth.

Some composers are technicians. I am not a great technician or someone who can write a symphony. I chronicle stories, tell stories with music, this is what I am good at.

What is your philosophy about the importance of music to young people?

Music has come to my aid so many times throughout the years. Kids should be given that opportunity. And I’m not talking about listening to the radio, but actually playing music.

My third, fourth, and fifth grade music teachers are why I am here today, and I do not agree that in today’s education a student must choose one activity over another. I always had

16

D I V I S I O N

time for both sports and music. Getting rid of music is the worst thing we can do, the dumbest thing. And if we continue the way we are in America, it may be a slow burning sort of tragedy. And we are going to be less intelligent because of it.

Being a composer cannot be an easy career choice. If a student comes to you and expresses a desire to become a composer, what advice do you give?

I actually think becoming a composer is one of the easiest choices to make. If you have that desire, you will compose. But that’s when it becomes hard. The truth is we live in America, not 16th c. Italy when composers were treated to court life. We don’t live in a society where patronage is something to consider. If you choose to become a composer, the hardest thing to learn is that you are most likely not going to have a successful and lucrative career unless you are at the top of the top. It is rare to only compose and you have to be okay with that. I have chosen a peculiar life, and it will never be about the money. Anyone with a career in composition is going to probably teach along with it, or be creative in other ways. My advice is to fall in love with the music and that will fulfill you.

You have had much success yet you have a long career ahead of you. What are your goals?

I have only been composing for a decade and never full-time, and I hit a crossroads a few years ago. Is it better to compose for a lot of genres, or just one? Just choral music forever, or do I start writing other things like a symphony?

When you do that, you take time away from another genre.

I’m debating both and don’t know the answer. But my love of choral music is quite strong, so I will say in ten years I will still be writing choral music but I’ll be better than I am right now.

You’ve told us a little bit about the commissioned piece.

Where did your idea come from?

I had a conversation with Robert Bode. We were musing…

I told him I wanted to write a piece about a forest fire. Then this commission opportunity came up. He thought this would be a good idea, first talking about a forest fire and then after the fire, when the ground becomes scorched and black, and it is beautiful to see new growth. The piece is called Conflagration.

The choir will hopefully share this with the audience, and I hope that I have given John enough to work with. The text will be whispered, chanted, screamed, about war and violence, and end with a tumultuous moment, and then the ash that remains will bring forth something new, something green. It should bring Hope, and the final word of the piece is Love. The end is about the aftermath, the development of community and love and joy through experience and forgiveness. It is very traumatic, dramatic, and allegorical for things going on right now in our world. The truth of the matter is that there is a fire going on in the hearts of men. In this work, we are trying to say there is nothing strong enough to stop it except Love. Love is the answer. It is a good message of hope.

music joins cultures around the globe by Beverly Schlegel More than a teacher and mentor, Mary Goetze is an author, commissioned composer, clinician, conductor, guest speaker, runs her own choral series, and is an active advocate for many educational issues affecting children. Goetze is founder of the Indiana University International Vocal Ensemble (IVE) and the Indiana University Children’s Choir in the School of Music Pre-College Music.

Mary Goetze Birthplace: Missouri Career: Retired Professor of Music at Indiana University Education: Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Indiana University and University of Colorado Author: Share the Music and Spotlight on Music Co-Author: Educating Young Singers: A Choral Resource for Teacher-Conductors; Global Voices (ongoing DVD series) Awards: Distinguished Alumnus, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and the University of Colorado College of Music; Outstanding Hoosier Musician by the Indiana Music Educators Association and Outstanding Educator of the Year by the Organization of American Kodaly Educators; Distinguished Teaching Award from Indiana University.

Favorite Composers: Benjamin Britten; Zoltan Kodaly, and Bela Bartok

Tell us a little bit about yourself, and your interest in music growing up.

I grew up in Missouri at a time when music was everywhere. My mother was musical but not a musician, and I am the only professional musician in the family. We had music at church, at school, 4-H, everywhere, and I attended a laboratory school where I practiced instrumental as well as vocal. From grades fifth and up, I was in band, orchestra, choirs, and small ensembles.

What was it that led you to start composing your own works for children’s choirs?

I started arranging and later composing because there was no local music store that carried music that suited my needs, neither for choir or my elementary classroom. A lot of my early pieces were arrangements, because I was exploring how kids learn to sing in parts and what helps them succeed. I had done both Orff and Kodaly training and was integrating ideas into little arrangements for fourth and fifth graders.

You’ve devoted a significant part of your career to giving quality musical experiences to children in the materials you’ve written and composed. Where did this desire originate?

In my public school teaching, singing was at the core of my general music classes. But it was in the school choir that I saw an opportunity to develop children’s artistry and nurture their love of music. This led me to found the Indiana University Children’s Choir to provide Bloomington children an opportunity to perform in major works that were being done by the School of Music.

What is the number one challenge you see with regard to teaching children music?

To really TEACH music, teachers need time with the kids, and most often, there is too little time for music in schools today. To really develop students’ musical ability and a love of music, teachers need to enable students to develop skills so they can make music in a manner that is satisfying and serves as a vehicle for expressing their feelings. Not everyone is going to become a solo singer, but nearly all children can be taught to use their voice expressively and tunefully if they are given fundamentals, encouragement and time to develop.

2012 TCDA commissioned work (continued) E L E M E N T A R Y What factors led you to create the Indiana University International Vocal Ensemble?

One factor arose from traveling and seeing what colonization had done in countries like Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. I witnessed how the native cultures had been nearly trampled out by the Europeans who settled those countries. Then I realized that my own country had the same sad history.

The Global Voices DVDs clearly reflect your philosophy and the approach you took in IVE. How did that series evolve?

It was coincidental that at the same time I was starting IVE, I met Jay Fern who was in music technology at IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis). We talked about what to do when I couldn’t get an informant for IVE rehearsals and, at that time, it was video. I had been invited to teach in Australia at a conference, and there was a South African choir. I recorded their performances and gathered as much information about their music as I could. I taught from these video recordings in my first year with IVE. Then we developed CDROMs and we created the Global Voices DVDs. What are the lessons today’s teachers can carry with them from those experiences into their subsequent teaching within the educational style that is utilized here in the United States?

In teaching diverse styles of music, I hope they look to technology to bring music to life in a more vibrant way rather than having students read out of a book. I hope they explore their own communities to find people around them, such as parents and grandparents, who can serve as informants. I hope teachers also might use YouTube or video recordings (or our DVDs) to heighten the experience their students have with music from unfamiliar cultures.

D I V I S I O N

I couldn’t watch the news and I was in despair about racial strife in our country and the world. I couldn’t go on being a part of a culture that was promoting only western art music.

That’s when I started IVE to start training teachers to work with diverse populations.

Now in retirement, will you continue your work?

I continue with professional activities – serving as guest conductor, speaker and clinician upon invitation, and taking commissions for various groups. I also continue to work on DVD projects for the Global Voices series. I’m currently working on a Turkish DVD that is funded by a center on the IU campus.

What can you tell us about your commissioned piece for our convention? What inspired the theme?

Phyllis King requested that I arrange a folk song, like “Old Joe Clark” or “Ca’ the Yowes.” I hadn’t arranged songs for a long time, but I came upon some Newfoundland folksongs that I liked. When I checked, I realized that attaining permission would be complicated, so I used one of those folksongs as a model, and set about composing “Wink to the Baby”. I had fun writing similar nonsense lyrics, adding little musical jokes in the accompaniment for the teachers and a special chorus of pitched animal sounds for the kids. I’m so pleased that I’ll be able to hear it performed for the first time!

Excerpts from this interview were taken from an article published in WomenArts Quarterly Journal, with the permission of Thomas Erdmann.

What have your experiences taught you about children around the world? Is there a sense in the end that even though they speak different languages, and there are different socioeconomic issues, children are all the same?

This is not limited to children. There are more similarities in humans across cultures than there are differences. But in those differences that exist, we need to learn to respect one another. Western culture and colonization have overpowered and outshone a lot of the music and I am very committed to the maintenance of traditional music outside the Western arts.

Music is a very powerful way to bring people together.

Looking back, can you highlight one or two of your experiences that have been most meaningful to you?

There are two points: the emergence of children’s choirs within the country was a very exciting time, and then to join forces with leaders who shared the interest in perpetuating the children’s choir movement. Setting up models for choirs, and now seeing the plethora of choirs everywhere is just amazing; and second, the point where I felt I couldn’t go on perpetuating only Western art music because the country was becoming so diverse. There was that moment in time when

2012 TCDA Church Division Guest Artist Ken Medema studied music therapy at Michigan State University in Lansing, where he concentrated heavily on performance skills in piano and voice. He worked as a music therapist in Fort Wayne, Indiana, returned to Michigan State for a MM (1969), then worked for four years as a music therapist at Essex County Hospital in New Jersey. It was while employed there that he began writing and performing his own songs.

Ken left his work as a therapist and began a career as a performing and recording artist. He recorded albums for Word and Shawnee Press, then in 1985 founded Brier Patch Music. Brier Patch is an independent recording, publishing, and performancebooking company with headquarters in Grandville, Michigan. Named after Brer Rabbit’s home in the legendary Uncle Remus stories. Brer Rabbit lived in a place not comfortable for anyone else.

Workshop 9: Col/Cm — Hearing the Call to Be Artist/Teacher Part 1 Remembering Who You Are

Craig Hella Johnson, clinician First of a three-part series. In this introductory session we will invite participants to find their way back to their initial inspiration and calling to choral music/teaching and create a context for each to consider the question, “What does it mean to be an inspirational, authentic artist/teacher?”

When did you first hear this vocational calling? In what ways in your work are you fulfilling this calling? Where have you fallen away from it? We will explore challenges common to all of us and consider ways in which each of us can return to remembering our vocational purpose and begin to consider ways this can be applied and realized in practical ways in our musical, leadership and teaching roles.

Please make time to Visit the Exhibits each day.

are you having fun yet . . . ?

We certainly hope so, because we’ve been hard at work all year to make sure you do! Your Board of Directors has tried to provide you enjoyable and educational reading sessions and workshops. The TCDA staff has been adding new features to make it easier for you to pre-register, and help facilitate your registration on site. The TCDA backpacks were chosen with you in mind... just to make your trek through the Convention Center a little easier.

Our editor has given the Program a new look, and we hope you like it. You can let us know or comment on anything you would like by filling out the suggestion form at the back of the program. And be sure to tear out the ballot in the Candidate section (pg 8), and vote before 2:00pm on Wednesday.

When you visit the exhibits, which we hope you’ll do as often as you can, you’ll find several brand new Exhibitors. Please let them know how much they are appreciated. We could not have this fabulous Convention every year without them.

We know you’re finding new music, learning new teaching techniques, getting reacquainted with colleagues and friends, and we truly hope you’re having some fun! Let us hear from you... .

TUESDAY

John Silantien, conductor Premier of TCDA Commissioned Work: Conflagration, by Eric Barnum

2012 TCDA Honor Choir Cynthia Nott has been artistic director of the Children’s Chorus of Greater Dallas since 1997. Under her leadership, the Chorus has grown dramatically, earned the respect of the Dallas area music community, and impressed audiences by its artistic excellence. In addition to its own concert schedule, Ms Nott has prepared the Chorus to perform with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Opera, Mesquite Civic Chorus, Orpheus Chamber Singers, and Voices of Change.

Prior to becoming full-time artistic director of the CCGD, Ms Nott taught public middle school choral music for 23 years.

Wednesday’s Notes

We’re having a BBQ at 7:00 pm this evening.

WEDNESDAY

Hope you’ll be there to enjoy an evening of great food, outstanding entertainment, and dancing!

Brave Combo has collected a dizzying array of descriptive musical pegs, boldly going where few bands have gone before, and even fewer could (or would) dare to venture.

Succeeding in its first mission, Brave Combo is America’s premier contemporary polka band, and a Grammy winning one at that. In the same breath, to name some but hardly all of the colors found on Brave Combo’s musical palette, one can describe them as a groundbreaking world music act, a hot jazz quintet, a rollicking rock’n’roll bar band, a Tex-Mex conjunto, a sizzling blues band, a saucy cocktail combo, a deadly serious novelty act, a Latin orchestra, and one of America’s dance bands par excellence.

Workshop 18: El – Rote Learning + Note Reading = Part Singing

Room 207

Michael Chandler, clinician In an Orff Schulwerk classroom, students and teachers learn music skills and concepts while they SING, SAY, DANCE, and PLAY in an active, creative and collaborative environment. Participants in this session will experience simple, effective techniques for including part singing for beginners in the upper elementary music classroom or beginning school choir that start with rote learning and lead to singing from notation. Extensions to movement and instrument playing will enhance the musical experience leading to many performance possibilities.

procedure for selecting music The TCDA Board of Directors serves as Selection Committee for the music read at the Annual Convention. Each year at its Spring meeting, the Board chooses music from selections mailed to each Board member by the various participating publishing companies. As specified in the constitution, music chosen should be new music; the selection committee, therefore,

36

restricts its choices to music published during the prior year. Exceptions include special categories determined by the Board, and the All-State Choir repertoire.

TCDA’s stated purpose since its inception has been to organize and operate a new music reading clinic each summer. With the assistance and cooperation of various Texas music retail companies and

contributing music publishers, the TCDA Convention offers its membership a privileged screening of new choral octavos.

Realizing that not every chosen selection will be appropriate for every TCDA member, the committee respectfully appreciates your understanding of the process. Suggestions for selections fitting the new music requirement are welcomed.

Thursday’s Notes

TCDA Child Care Information and Guidelines Child care is offered during the convention for children 10 years of age and younger.

This convenient, on-site service is located in the Convention Center in rooms 209 and 211, close to the reading session and workshop rooms.

THURSDAY

TCDA members may purchase child care tickets in the registration area at a cost of $25 per day per child. Please review the suggestions below and come prepared so the child care operation can run smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter!

• Plan to take strollers with you. There is very little extra space in the child care rooms.

• No meals will be provided or served in the center. Snacks of raisins, Cheerios, cookies, and punch are served mid-morning and midafternoon. If you do not wish your child to have these, you must include this in your written instructions. Infants/toddlers will be fed labeled/prepared bottles of milk or juice. Parents must pick up children for each meal and no other food will be allowed in the child care room.

• Please take children to the restroom prior to bringing them to child care. Bring extra, labeled clothes for young children. Toilet accidents happen.

• Allow sufficient time for child care registration and instructions. Have all instructions for caregivers in writing. We need to know about feeding, infant sleep habits, bathroom training, etc. Have child’s name on everything – diaper bag, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, etc. Bring an adequate supply of disposable diapers and wipes. No cloth diapers please. We ask that only one parent come in the room with children.

Older children and friends will be asked to wait outside.

• Please list the sessions you will attend with room numbers.

Convention Center will not be adequate – it’s a big place! We must be able to reach you quickly in the event of an emergency.
