Professional DevelopmentFriday, February 1 Friday, February 1Professional Development8:00 – 8:45 am Dancing the Music: Nashville Room, MarriottA Methodology for the Development of Expressivity in ConductingExpressivity in conducting is a concept that is desired and lauded though its development is both mysterious and elusive. As performers,conductors have much in common with both the dance and theatre arts. Through the study and application of Laban MovementTheory and Mime, conductors can develop a methodology for the creation and development of expressive gestures that will both expeditethe rehearsal process and result in more musical performances.Dr. John OelrichDirector of BandsUniversity of Tennessee Martin2:00 – 2:45 Se. A The Middle School Jazz Combo: Nashville Room, MarriottWhat, How, When and Why it’s Beneficial for Your Students and ProgramAs one of America’s only original art forms, Jazz is a fundamental part of all music curricula. The cultivation of Jazz’s inherent skill set -improvisation, communication, and interaction - can greatly benefit the individual student musician as well as pay long term dividendsfor all facets of the school band program.Dr. John OelrichDirector of BandsUniversity of Tennessee Martin8:50 – 9:35 Se. A Preparing for College: Nashville Room, MarriottAdvice for Future College Trumpet StudentsI recently wrote an article for the Instrumentalist Magazine (September 2012) that focused on common weaknesses in the playing offreshmen trumpet majors. My presentation will present the results of a trumpet teacher poll that I conducted to determine those problemsand offer advice on how to correct them. I maintain that observing a daily routine of fundamentals is vital to identify and targetweaknesses.Dr. Anthony B. KirklandAssistant Professor of TrumpetMississippi State UniversitySe.

B Keeping Students Engaged and Interested in Stringsby Incorporating Fiddle Playing into Classical OrchestraChattanooga Room, MarriottJoin Ryan in finding new ways to involve your students on another level in class not only with classical music, or what some would callviolin music, but also with fiddle music – both of which are incredibly rich, engaging, challenging, and inspiring.Ryan JosephEastman String ClinicSponsored by Amro Music2:50 – 3:35 Se. A Implementing Regular Student Practice and Progress Using SmartMusic Nashville Room, MarriottMr. Marchese will provide an overview of SmartMusic software, and discuss how it’s been used by band students all over America toaccelerate their progress.

Mr. Marchese will show you how tocreate a virtual class, enroll students, and get started.Larry MarcheseMake Music Inc.9:40 – 11:10 Conducting Outside of the Pattern: Ballroom C, Cannon CenterTechniques and Strategies to “Look” More Like the MusicRegardless of any ensembles’ playing ability, it is important for conductors to visually support the artistic nuances contained within themusic performed. Doing so not only enhances the musical experience but is also an essential part of the communication between theconductor and the ensemble. Utilizing the Holst Suite in E Flat, this clinic will address basic strategies to help free conductors “from thepattern” and assist in the creative development of more musically informed and communicative gestures.Se. B How to Address the Common WeaknessesFound in the Developing High School Clarinet StudentChattanooga Room, MarriottRobyn will identify the common problems that many high school clarinet students struggle with, such as lack of dynamic control,incorrect tongue position, collapsed knuckles, and inability to utilize the pinky keys properly. She will present simple and efficient waysof working on these problems with the student, and provide short exercises that focus on each problem. As a way of evaluating howsuccessful the student has been in overcoming each problem, more challenging etudes that deal with the same issues will be suggested.Albert NguyenDirectorUniversity of Memphis Wind EnsembleRobyn JonesAssistant Professor of ClarinetUniversity of Memphis
