FUTURE MUSIC EDUCATORS SEMINAR Lori and Jonathan Lauff, Coordinators
Becoming Musicians Throughout Their LIves
“Every child is an artist. Te problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up,” said Pablo Picasso. As music educators, our jobs are to teach students how to become musicians throughout their lives. Te Future Music Educators Seminar is one of IMEA’s means of helping students statewide understand the demands and delights of becoming a music educator.
Tis fall, music teachers from across Illinois nominated high school students who showed the best potential to pursue a career in music education. Tese students submitted essays and were then selected by each IMEA District President to represent their region of Illinois at the 2012 Illinois Music Education Conference as a Future Music Educators Seminar participant. At the confer- ence in Peoria, these FMES students will collaborate with other highly motivated students to learn more about the profession and begin communicating with new friends from across the state. Tese students are the future of music education.
Te FMES participants will attend sessions, performances and rehearsals. Tey will learn how to watch the events with a new set of eyes, a teacher’s set of eyes. Discussion time will allow students to reflect and react to their experiences. In a round table discussion format, current collegiate MENC members will share their experiences about what life is like as a music education major. Overall, the Seminar includes a variety of experiences and in-depth discussions about the field of music education.
We look forward to working with another outstanding class of FMES students. As evidenced by previous years, there are many incredible students who want to invest their time learning more about the profession, and we look forward to helping reinforce their excitement by experiencing the Illinois Music Education Conference as a future music educator.
See you in Peoria! Jonathan and Lori Lauff
