Thank You To Our TEMPO Contributors
the country thanks to the many people who contribute their efforts to our magazine. Amy Burns has secured two new authors for this issue: Missy Strong & Daniel Beal. They are helping to continue our efforts to provide more helpful information to our elementary music teachers. We have “outsiders” such as Joseph Pergola and Ronald E. Kearns who have been assisting me by providing excel- lent, timely articles to use as needed. The articles which Bill Berz from Rutgers University
TEMPO
has been providing for many years concerning band, and those by Tom McCauley from Montclair State University have been extremely educational. There are several talented NJMEA Board members
who have been writing as well. Nick Santoro has been writing or providing articles on “Music Advocacy” and keeps us informed with articles in TEMPO Express. Amy Burns writes many well informed articles about “Early Childhood Music” and Maureen Butles writes about “Special Learners”: two areas in which we are sorely in need of more information. Marj LoPresti is new to our board and is keeping us up-to-date with her articles about “Music Technology.” Tom Amoriello is another board member who is trying very hard to educate us all about using guitars in the classroom. This is also an area of mu- sic education which has not been properly addressed in the past, and Tom is quickly taking the reins concerning that subject. If I start naming all of our contributors, I am sure to miss someone, but please read all of the articles we print and be sure to send your thoughts to those who are mak-

Magazine is one of the best Music Educator Journals in
ing the effort to write. Without them, TEMPO could not exist. Do you have something to say? Then don’t be afraid
to write down your thoughts and email them to me. All of you are well educated music teachers who are bound to be “expert” in some area or have thoughts about how to do something well. The tendency is to say “I am not a good writer.” What you really mean is that you do not write often, but you do write lesson plans and many oth- er things as required in your school. You just need time to sit down and think about what to say and then do it! For more information, go our website (
njmea.org) and look for the Submission Guidelines under the TEMPO pull-down menu. We will fix any spelling or grammatical errors.
