The Art of Successful Programming: Study, Selection, and
Synthesis
Clinician: Richard Bjella, Texas Tech Univ
Presiders: Betsy Clark, Martin HS; Ginger Storey, Bowie JH
CPE 39001 – 1.0 Hr
It seems that many concert programs are presented without enough concern
for the concert’s overall flow, purpose, and direction. Many wonderful
selections are often included, but rarely do they work together in tandem or
with enough significant diversity and color changes to warrant the audience’s
complete attention. Bjella will address how to change this to improve your
programming.

Sightreading: Are You Teaching to the Test?
Clinician: Tammy Stallcup, Hood JH
Presider: Kathleen Cuddihee, Spring Woods HS
CPE 39103 – 1.0 Hr
The purpose of teaching sightreading should be to enable our students to be
lifelong learners of music, not just first division choir members. If you are
stuck in the habit of reading only in the keys you will have at contest, teaching
only contest level literature, and not sightreading after contest, consider
expanding your teaching skills to turn your students into true sightreading
musicians.
