Lori Ardovino - President, Higher Education Division
Greetings to the Higher Education Division!
I hope that you are all healthy and back into the swing of the semester. As you all can attest, time flies by so quickly that our 2014 Alabama Music Educators Conference will soon be upon us.
There is a need to elect new officers for the 2014-2016 term. There will be an HED Luncheon at 11:30 on Thursday during the Conference. At this luncheon, we will elect officers and have a business meeting so please put it in your calendars. On the HED link on the AMEA website, there will be a nomination for officers ballot. The call is for President, President-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer, and Research Chair. Please think seriously about donating your time to such an important cause. Once nominations are received, I will put forth a formal ballot and we will vote at the meeting. You must be present at the meeting in order for your vote to count. Please consider serving as an officer in the HED Division.
Please email HED’s Secretary/Treasurer, Dr. Jim Zingara, at
zdma2001@gmail.com by December 1 if you plan to attend the luncheon portion of the meeting so we can plan accordingly.
Don’t forget about the HED Recital, which is scheduled for Thursday during the Conference at 4:30. The focus this year will be works that are appropriate competition pieces for the high school student. These can be pieces from the ABA Approved Solo List, or in the case of vocal or piano, works that are appropriate for competitions such as MTNA. Please limit your selections to no more than 8 minutes. For a multi- movement work, you may only be able to perform a
single movement.
Applications will be on the HED link on the website. There is only one hour available, so please apply early if you are interested. Please remember that in order to perform, you must be a member of NAfME and be registered for the conference; your collaborators must be members and registered as well.
If you are interested in showcasing your chamber ensembles, consider applying for a lobby performance spot. This is a great way to promote your students and university. Applications for
lobby
performances can be found on the AMEA website.
I encourage all higher education collegiate advisors to encourage their students to join NAfME and register early for the conference. By doing so, we will help to make registration a smoother, faster process.
I look forward to a great year and seeing you at the 2014 Conference!
