PRESIDENT’S NOTES

G I L L I A N

I

expect that just as I do, most music educators remember well their own elementary and secondary music teachers. These music educators were very important in my life journey, and their influences are with me daily.

Martha Maddox was my music teacher at Dowling Elementary. I did not know it at the time, but her husband, Robert L. Maddox, was the Coordinator for Music for the Ector County ISD schools, and he was also President of TMEA from 1946 to 1947. I remember Mrs. Maddox taught me many great songs I can still sing today, and she led my classes in a musical program each year.

Jack Nall was the Bonham JH band director, and when he came to Mrs. Maddox’s class my sixth grade year, he demonstrated band instruments that we could learn to play if we joined the band. I am sure he told the class not to go buy an instrument before meeting with him, but I decided that day that I was going to be a cornet player in the Bonham Band. I told my parents that a cornet was all I wanted for my birthday, and on the day of my twelfth birthday celebration, after opening all my other gifts, I happily found a Bundy cornet hidden in my closet. I still have that cornet, and I play it from time to time.

After being a not-so-great cornet player during my seventh grade year, Mr. Nall told me to try the baritone horn, and I was instantly able to make a better tone. It was an easy decision to become a baritone player.

A familiar face to the Bonham Band rehearsals and performances during my time as a student was J.R. McEntyre, who followed Mr. Maddox as Director of Music for Ector County ISD. Mr. McEntyre served as TMEA President

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

PROFESSIONALISM

from 1970 to 1972 and was well known in Odessa because of the outstanding bands he directed during his tenure at Permian HS. When Mr. McEntyre stood before the band I remember feeling scared, nervous, and honored all at the same time.

During my ninth grade year, Mr. Nall gave me the piece “My Regards” to perform at the upcoming solo and ensemble contest. The printed music looked really old. It had obviously been used by other students before me. In fact a kid named Charlie Nail played from the same music.

Charlie Nail turned out to be my high school band director at Permian HS. It was this Mr. Charles Nail who was later TMEA President from 1988 to 1989 (just after I graduated with my bachelor’s degree). Nail’s reputation as a great band director earned instant respect from his students, including me.

During my high school years I marched at dozens of football games and parades during very successful years for the football team, and I also marched in UIL State Marching Band Contest.

Of course the concert bands performed many great pieces of music and took

spring trips to faraway places—Galveston, St. Louis, Mo., and Tempe, Ariz. I sold candy, popcorn, candles, and more to help fund the activities. My high school band experiences were phenomenal.

When my father suddenly died from a heart attack at the age of 42, I was a 17-year-old high school senior just three months from graduation. I was devastated.

The only person I remember coming to my home to visit me from school was Mr. Nail. I still remember that he told me to let him know if there was anything he could do to help, and I truly believed his kind words. I remember being surprised and impressed that this very important, respected teacher took the time to come see me at my home. I believed he must really care about me. He still today has never turned me down when I needed his help or counsel.

The amalgamation of those musical and personal experiences is undoubtedly what led me toward earning university music degrees.

I cannot recall the exact moments when I learned the elements and concepts necessary to perform music, nor can I choose moments when I evolved from

playing notes to performing aesthetically beautiful music, but I certainly recall those magical moments when a performance reached so deeply into my soul that I experienced artistic catharses.

Those are the moments that in their adulthood our students will also best remember about their music teachers.

Besides those amazing musical experiences, students will remember you as a person. They will remember your everyday interactions with them. They will remember whether you treated them with kindness and respect. They will also remember, and be affected by, the time you lost your temper and any vitriol you expressed.

By carefully considering your words and throttling negative reactions to situations, your students will remember their music teacher as a caring and considerate person who never accepted anything less than the very best possible performance.

Yes, they will remember a kind yet insistent voice reminding them to always give their very best, never give up, and make the world a more beautiful place through music.

Have a happy holiday season!

It’s not too late B Y

R O B E R T

F L O Y D

O

ne year ago my December column was entitled “It’s Not Too Early,” encouraging each of you to get involved in the primaries, inviting candidates to your classrooms, attending coffees and forums to learn more about those seeking public office, and minimally placing a call to ask a few simple questions about a candidates’ views on arts education.

What a difference a year makes! Little did we know at the time that the redistricting challenges in the courts would force delays in the primaries for several months and that candidates would be campaigning for more than a year leading up to November 6 to win political office, even for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives. I am sure you agree with me that regardless of the outcomes in all the races, we are glad it is over.

So a year after all this madness began, where are we, and what should we be doing as music educators? Our lobbyist, Matt Matthews, always said candidates need us prior to November 6, but after that, they do not need us as much.

There is much truth to that statement, but there are still actions each of us can take to build a support base for music education throughout the upcoming session. Before the victors, especially new legislative members, get immersed in the logistical challenges of setting up an office at the capitol, hiring a staff, and moving forward with their personal political agendas, take advantage of the opportunity to invite them to your holiday concert or PTA program or just to your classroom for a visit.

Hopefully many of you took time to review the results from the candidate survey taken by Texas Coalition for Quality Arts Education (TCQAE) posted on www.goarts.org. We received over 100 responses from those running for the House, Senate, or State Board of Education. That was a 30% increase in responses from past election years. When you visit goarts.org you can not only see a summary of the outcomes but also a PDF of each candidate’s returned survey.

In summation, 74% of over 100 respondents indicated they believe fine arts

Take advantage of the opportunity to invite your legislators to your holiday concert or PTA program or just to your classroom for a visit.

should be a part of the core curriculum with only 4% opposing, and 97% believed fine arts participation enhanced student performance in other academic courses.

In addition, 95% believed arts participation helped minimize dropout rates and 96% believed rigorous arts study helped prepare students for college. Clearly, there is a universal belief from the respondents of the importance of the arts.

So why was there such an increase in responses? There is speculation that among Tea Party Republicans in particular, newly elected members are looking for a cause to support, realizing the contentious nature of the huge education issues forthcoming, of accountability revision, school funding, vouchers, and more beginning in January. I encourage you to go to goarts.org/news, see if your newly elected representative, senator, or SBOE member responded to the survey, and if so, write them a short note of thanks for both returning the survey and for indicating their support for arts education. As you would expect, with three exceptions, all who returned the survey expressed positive support for our discipline. You can identify your newly elected officials at www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us.

So where do we go from here? Only recently in its review of the Texas Education Agency, the staff of the Sunset Commission recommended abolishing the new Distinction Designation created by the 2009 Legislature that for the first time allows fine arts to be a part of the accountability system, beginning in 20132014. The recommendation was not an indictment only of fine arts but recommended eliminating the entire program because of lack of TEA staff and support to continue its development and ongoing management.

Since TMEA was instrumental in inf luencing the Select Committee on Public School Accountability to include such a program in 2008, we have strongly opposed this recommendation, and in addition to providing a written position to both the Sunset Commission members and Commissioner of Education Michael Williams, we provided testimony at the public hearing in mid-November.

TMEA is also involved in meetings and is carefully monitoring the recommendation by Raise Your Hand Texas and business community members to create graduation pathways that give students more

choice and flexibility in their four-year graduation plan. In addition to the current Recommended Program, students could choose a Career and Technology (CTE) pathway or a humanities pathway. This would give our students an opportunity to select more fine arts electives. While this plan may prove very beneficial to the serious music student, the devil could be in the details. We will continue to monitor this recommendation carefully and provide input as needed, minimally to ensure we do not lose ground from current fine arts graduation requirements.

Minimizing STAAR pull-out, moving fine arts to the foundation curriculum, tearing down the wall between the foundation and enrichment curriculum, and building the fine arts caucus membership are ongoing legislative priorities.

Certainly, your vehicle to staying apprised throughout the legislative session is being registered on the goarts.org website. As a TMEA member, you are automatically a part of that database unless you opt out.

If the time comes when the Executive Board believes we need you to contact your legislator on a particular issue, this will be our means to initiate such action.

A former superintendent and very influential education lobbyist recently told me there was only one group he did not want against him at the capitol, and that was the fine arts education community.

While it was in part shared in jest, if we all respond in mass to affect a singular issue at the capitol, with over 1.5 million secondary students enrolled in a fine arts class on a daily basis throughout the state, we can and will have an impact. Make sure you do your part when called upon, and as always, do not hesitate to share your thoughts on any of the above issues with an Executive Board member or me.
