Greetings fellow collegiate educators of Alabama,
Is it hot enough for ya?! As someone who is not originally from Alabama or the South, every summer I’m blown away by the heat and humidity here. But, let’s forget about that. You know what’s really hot? The Higher Ed Division of AMEA!
In the coming months, I would like to encourage applied music professors from our state to consider submitting an article for publication in Ala Breve. The “Call for Submissions” at the end of this update is really directed toward any of you who would be interested in publishing in a peer reviewed format. Simply put, this just means that your article will be selected by a review committee prior to publication. It is an excellent opportunity for you to share your vast knowledge of your particular area of expertise with our readers.
In the closing meeting of the AMEA Board of Directors at this year’s conference, we discussed some ideas for unifying the HED schedule within next year’s conference. We are still in the “idea” stages of this slight restructuring; but, the hope is that we can organize our events so that our members can easily attend everything from the HED business meeting, to the presentations, to the recitals, to the mixer. Also, there was a mention of incorporating student and faculty chamber groups into next year’s AMEA Conference. As this idea evolves, I will share details with you.
If you are interested in nominating a fellow music educator for an award through AMEA, please submit
24
membership early as we embark on this new year.
Fun fact. As of right now, the Higher Education Division of AMEA has $1501.42 in our budget.
As always, if you have any suggestions as to how we can improve the HED area of AMEA, please don’t hesitate to contact me. The AMEA Board will meet periodically to discuss next year’s activities and I am happy to bring any issues to the table for you. I appreciate your continued support.
