From the President…
Greetings to all, and a warm welcome to the beautiful Broadmoor Hotel and the 2015 Colorado Music
Educators Association Annual Clinic-Conference!
Excitement and anticipation have been building for some time now, particularly for those dedicated members who were elected by you to serve on the various councils. Council Chairs and Chair-Elects have been diligently working to build the best professional learning experience possible, and that year of planning and effort
are about to come to fruition to your benefit. The Executive Board and Bill Kohut (Operations Director) have
guided this arduous process from the start. In addition, Margie Camp (Editor), Ken Anderson (Exhibits), Tom Bruszewski (Equipment), Michelle Ewer and Doug Sandusky (Tri-M), Marcy Cochran (Technology), and Andrea Meyers (Retired Membership) have all
put forth exceptional effort to bring you this annual event. These and many others are what make our conference one that is highly
regarded nationally. Please take the time to thank those individuals with whom you come in contact who have had a part in crafting
this excellent experience for you! Special thanks to JW Pepper for their continued support in sponsoring the New Educator’s Luncheon
and to Hal Leonard Corporation for bringing Tim Lautzenheiser to us.
Our Wednesday opportunities continue to surpass previous efforts every year. Hundreds of middle and high school Tri-M students gather for a day of learning and inspiration. Beginning in the late afternoon, each Council presents a clinic for those who are fortunate to be here. In the evening, we are excited to welcome violinist and composer Mark O’Connor to our stage, generously presented
by the Colorado chapter of the American String Teachers Association! Mr. O’Connor seamlessly blends a wide variety of styles in his
playing and compositions, and we are indeed fortunate to have a performer of this stature at our conference. Thanks to ColoradoASTA, Denver School of the Arts and all those who make the Wednesday kickoff well worth the extra effort to arrive early!
The Conference begins officially on Thursday morning, and our Keynote Speaker is well-known and eagerly anticipated by all.
Tim Lautzenheiser will inspire us with thoughts that seem to bind us all in shared experiences, re-affirming the many reasons for doing
what we do in service to music education and our students. This defining opening to the conference is preceded by the artistry of students from Denver School of the Arts, as the Guitar Ensemble from this exemplary arts school sets the stage for the numerous musical
offerings to be shared during the next three days. Then, following a full day of music, learning, exhibits, and friends, the day culminates with the Exhibits Reception and the first of our President’s Concert events. We enthusiastically welcome the renowned to our
stage, with their unique variety of musical genres and exceptional artistry that have earned them the distinction of “one of America’s
foremost musical ensembles”.
Friday will feature a second General Session at 11:00, during which CMEA Advocacy Chair Carla Aguilar will continue our work
to help guide the Association through the changing educational landscape where law and practice intersect. Bring your open mind
along, as we examine the continuing complexities of Educator Effectiveness and Evaluation in partnership with our friends and allies
at the Colorado Department of Education. As we move into the peak of the conference Friday evening, after greeting old (and young)
friends at the College and University Receptions, return to the International Center for a real treat! An American country music singer
and songwriter with over 60 appearances at the Grand Ole Opry and devoted advocate of music education and friend of the National
Association for Music Education (NAfME), Sarah Darling has been featured by superstars of country music including Brad Paisley
and Tim McGraw. Come experience a different approach to the Friday night President’s Concert as Sarah presents original material,
old favorites, and some real surprises in her repertoire, displaying her talents as “one of country music’s breakout performers and elite
vocalists”. This unique performance will feature caberet-style seating and a cash bar, so bring your dancing shoes!
As if this was not a fully exceptional conference already, Saturday brings even more performances and learning sessions. While
you might plan to spend a bit of time with friends at “The Bee”, make it another day of inspiration and learning, culminating in concert
events with the All-State Jazz groups and the All-State Elementary Choir. As you depart the Broadmoor once again, or after your first
time at our conference, may you be inspired and prepared to enthusiastically dedicate yourself to providing a comprehensive and relevant music education to your students, tapping every day the well of joy that brought you to this noble profession in service to kids!
I hope that you will seek me out to introduce yourself, or take a moment to stop and chat as we experience the 2015 Clinic-Conference
together. Thank you for being here, and may you leave “with a song in your heart!”
With great admiration, warm regards, and best wishes…

The objective of this session is to provide a check list of what
cooperating teachers should do before, during, and after hosting a
student teacher to ensure that learning happens and the integrity
of your classroom stays intact. I will present from a cooperating
teacher’s point of view what I have found to be successful while
hosting a student teacher. I will collaborate with fellow teachers that
have also hosted student teachers to compile our information to
present. Participants will leave with a check list to use in their own
classrooms. I want to ensure that it is a positive, productive, and
educational experience for the student teacher, cooperating teacher,
and students, alike.

This session will consist of a presentation and discussion regarding

avoiding these complications and accomplishing a successful position change. The first half of this presentation will consist of recommendations and factors to consider when taking a new conducting

Many students choose to play a stringed instrument because they
perceive it will be a fun activity. Keep students motivated through
teaching devices and rote activities that put “fun” in the fundamentals of playing. Bring an instrument and have fun!
One of the challenges for music educators is coping with and understanding the Male Adolescent Changing Voice. This session will
review the historical role of the male voce, current trends in classifying young male voices and approaches to aiding in the productive development of such. This process will be demonstrated with
adolescent boys of many voice types.

The Best Way to Learn Is To Teach!: Implementing peer-teaching with your middle and high school band, orchestra, and choir students
Erik Johnson, Clinician
Presiding: Josh Muller, IMC District 4 Representative
Sponsored by Colorado State University
What if we viewed successful learning by how much our individual
students could teach to someone else? Guided by the thought that
the best way to learn is to teach, this session will address six different musical outcomes that can be used with students in middle
school and high school large ensemble vocal, band, and orchestra
classrooms. Specifically discussed will be short, medium, and longterm projects that involve developing a wide range of musical skills
designed to improve performance skill and comprehensive understanding of music. Session attendees will leave with materials that
can be quickly and easily adapted for immediate use in a variety of
settings.

Finale is one of the most powerful tools to notate music today. Yet,

getting used to only using the most basic elements of the software.
The clinic is designed for users that might have questions about how
to effectively use many of Finale’s features. I will address topics such
as effective use of keyboard shortcuts, metatools, creation of chord
symbols using jazz-related fonts, converting a file from sequencer to
notation, playback using 3rd party sample such as Garritan’s GPO
and Jazz Big Band 3, exploding: from sketch to score, sharing: creating an audio file.

Presiding: Todd Dicamillo, VMC District 5 Representative
This session will focus on the most common difficulties for American choirs singing in Spanish, French, Italian and German, and
how to correct them. This will not be a review of diction rules,
but rather a primer for working directly with singers with careful
listening and humor to help them perfect their pronunciation
of the most commonly used languages. The cheapest way to see
Madrid, Paris, Rome and Berlin in just one hour!

Not every band director has had the opportunity to play in or work
with a jazz band prior to entering the profession. This workshop
is designed for the concert band-oriented director with little or
no jazz background, or who simply feels out of his or her element
when working with a jazz band. Topics to be discussed will include
building a jazz program, understanding jazz interpretation, teaching improvisation, choosing music, working with a rhythm section,
working with jazz style and articulations, the importance of listening
for the developing jazz musician, and instrument-specific challenges
when directing a jazz band.

Sponsored by Music and Arts, CIOMIT and Universal Music Some of the most important factors that determine success in playing a string instrument involve the beginning “set up” stage, which

students by establishing a series of procedures that break down the
set up tasks into a sequence of exercises that allow their students to
look and sound great!

Sponsored by Music and Arts, CIOMIT and Universal Music An effective warm up routine that integrates technical and musical
elements as a preparation for playing repertoire is a key to successful teaching. Separation of both left and right hand difficulties prior
to attempting them within the repertoire is essential. This clinic
will examine how to design an effective routine and will present
examples of warm-ups using standard repertoire from the string
orchestra literature.

Multi-Tasking In Music: Part work can be a picnic
Bonnie Jacobi and CSU Music Education students, Clinicians
Presiding: Keith Koepsel, CMC District 7 Representative
Being a musician requires the ability to do two, or more, different things at the same time! The human brain is not pre-wired
for the skills that children need to be successful in middle-school
ensembles; these skills need to be developed from an early age.
Starting kids off by training their ear, eyes, hands, feet, and voice to
multi-task using songs they already know will instill confidence in
them, and also prevent a “response selection bottleneck” when they
are asked to listen to a different part from their own! The presenters
will demonstrate engaging activities by grade level that will challenge your students but feel as fun as a picnic!

Longmont High School Chamber Orchestra
Our most valuable asset as musicians and music educators is our
ears, and our ability to detect errors in our students playing. Unfortunately, for most musicians and music educators, ear training
ends in college, and it is easy for our ears to become acclimated to
incorrect pitch, rhythm, articulation, and dynamics. This clinic
will give participants the opportunity to listen to an orchestra, with
scores in hand, and test themselves on their error detection skills.
Participants will be guided through a series of five excerpts with
increasingly difficult errors to detect. Strategies for accurate error
detection and assessment of student performance will be presented
throughout the clinic. Participants will also be given practical, easy
ways to practice their listening skills throughout the school year.
