Elementary/General Division
Exciting Events Planned for 2006! Melissa Thomason, President, Elementary/General
What a great conference! I hope that every- one enjoyed the workshops and got some useful information and lesson plans that you can take back to your classrooms. I hope that all of you also had the opportunity to visit the National Anthem Project Road Tour sponsored by MENC while it was in Tuscaloosa. Conference is always a special time to catch up with friends, get some great ideas, refresh our love for teaching music, and enjoy some good food and fellowship, as well!
division will offer to our members this fall.
I am very excited about a new event that our On
October 6, 2006, the Elementary/General Division of AMEA will hold our 1st Annual Elementary Music Festival at Bluff Park United Methodist Church in Birmingham, AL. This festival will give our students an excellent opportunity to experience a quality large-group choral experience. This year, our clini- cian will be our own Vicki Portis. Be watching your mail in the coming weeks for more extensive infor- mation and registration regarding this event. We are also planning a lesson plan/resource book that will be available to you for a small fee at
our Fall Workshop in September. We would like for all of you to send us your favorite lesson plan to include in this book. If you submit three ideas, you will receive a free copy! The following are the guide- lines to follow: 1. All ideas should be print-ready and submitted to Sara Womack,
sara@music.org, as a Word docu- ment by July 31, 2006. 2. Only submit actual music that is in public domain, although you can reference songs and books that are under copyright.
Our Fall Workshop will be held on September 16th with Julie Scott from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. The location of the workshop, at this time, is not finalized. Our Fall newsletter, along with registration informa- tion for this workshop, will be mailed in August. If you have a change of address, please let us know so that we will be able to get information to you! I wish for you a continued wonderful school year and a relaxing, rejuvenating summer. See you in September.
