TMEA STATE GENERAL MUSIC CHAIR’S MESSAGE Linzie Mullins Can’t take off work for the full conference? We hate to miss you but have a WONDERFUL opportunity for you. Join us Saturday morning for the Tennessee Treble Honor Choir performance at 9:00 a.m. and then directly after for a great workshop given by our Honor Choir clinicians this year: Debbie Burton and Margie Orem. TMEA CONFERENCE IS QUICKLY APPROACHING, have you registered yet? You seriously do not want to miss this year’s conference. Not only will you get the opportunity to be present for some magical music making, but you will also get to make your own music in our many workshops being offered. The spots for general music are FULL thanks to all of you who submitted session proposals. I am also extremely excited to meet each and every one of you at the general music education caucus at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 6. I am looking forward to not only collaborating with you but also getting to know each of you a little better! Be sure to be on the lookout for these sessions, and much more: Jennifer Vannatta-Hall Let’s Play! Student-Centered Music Lessons for K-3 - This session offers practical ideas for implementing student-centered, play-based music experiences that are developmentally appropriate for early childhood. Allen Moody Visit the Recorder Buffet - This session helps teachers integrate recorder instruction into lessons with movement, improvisation, games, and storytelling. Heather Klossner Make it POP: Tune Your Students’ Ears with Pop Tunes! – This session will focus on reinforcing students’ sense of functional harmony as well as develop their aural skills. Come sing, dance, play and learn how to make your curriculum POP! Elizabeth Carter Orchestral Music in the Elementary Classroom - From play-alongs to movement activities, from games to musical partnerships, this session will look at a wide variety of ways to actively engage elementary students through orchestral music. David Frego Dalcroze Eurhythmics: Meaningful Movement - Participants will be actively engaged in exploring the elements of music through rhythmic and purposeful movement. Can’t take off work for the full conference? We hate to miss you but have a WONDERFUL opportunity for you. Join us Saturday morning for the Tennessee Treble Honor Choir performance at 9:00 a.m. and then directly after for a great workshop given by our Honor Choir clinicians this year: Debbie Burton and Margie Orem. It will be $10 for TMEA, AOSA, or OAKE members, and $25 for non-members. The workshop will be from 10:00- 1:00, and you can register for it on-line! Debbie and Margie have shared this session overview with us: “Spring Into Music is a set of three sequenced grade level lesson plans incorporating singing, movement, instruments and games all within the focus of Spring. Each of these segments is preparing, presenting and/or practicing particular music elements. Our goal is to set up a lesson that transitions from one activity to another to promote better understanding and integration for the students.” Come on out and bring a friend. Also, I want to share a neat idea with you. My aunt is a P.E. teacher, and we often collaborate, especially when we have ideas like this one! She went to a workshop about P.E. in a general classroom and new and different ideas to create a fun environment without breaking things. The presenter shared her “poppers” with them, which are pool noodles cut into smaller discs and then cut in half. Disclaimer: You must use a hollow pool noodle, one with a hole down the entire noodle. Once cut, the pieces look like little rainbows. One noodle can make enough poppers for one class, plus some. When you squeeze the popper, it pops up and makes a popping sound. I immediately went and made my own, and used it for my “Pop! Goes the Weasel” lesson. Did you know that the song was written about a yarn-winding machine? Look this information up! There is even a video of the “weasel” popping for you to show your students. My students love this lesson every year, and lucky for me, these flying poppers never harm a thing in the classroom. Of course, there are rules with them, but let them fly and have fun.
