strings, Elementary, and K-12 educators as well as the Mentoring Pre-Session with special guest, Frank Tracz. For young and first year teachers, these sessions will help guide you with tips and suggestions for an effective and efficient classroom. Michael Smith will offer, Mentoring New Teachers: Principles and Techniques for Support, a session designed to help teachers become effective mentors.
MMEA continues to work on behalf of educators and students who are part of small and rural schools. These musicians face unique challenges while providing a well-rounded education for all. We invite you to join Jocelyn Prendergast who will present a session, Teaching in Rural/Small
Schools...and Loving It! One of the visions of the Association is to discover more ways to be inclusive and diverse in our music classrooms. Harry Cecil will present Equitable Educational Experience, a session that will address diversity in our classrooms.
MMEA has widened the offerings for Technology at the Conference. Renee Tarczon will present a session, Energize Your Classroom with Game Changing Technology. Ray Benton will present Common Sense Technology in the Classroom. A growing method of teaching and learning is the use of video- conferencing in rehearsals. Join Mark Doerffel for his session, Bring the Clinician to Your Classroom Using Video Conferencing. And you will not want to miss the first ever MMEA Appy Hour! Visit with tech specialist Matt McKeever and others during this “show and tell” opportunity with music apps that work in your class.
Music educators who arrange and edit music and record their ensembles should be familiar with the current laws and in full compliance. Join Ted Piechocinski for his session, Legal Responsibilities to Copyrights for your Ensemble Arrangements and Performances. Daniel Hellman will moderate discussions on Student Growth in the Classroom, and Music Student Teaching in Missouri: Mentoring in a Time of Change. Jared Rawlings will
10 MISSOURI SCHOOL MUSIC | Volume 71, Number 2
discuss Bullying in Schools: What Music Teachers Need to Know.
The Conference will offer more than 40 clinics and sessions carefully chosen by the area Vice-Presidents and Advisory Board Members. Clinicians represent every part of the country, and sessions represent every area and level of music education. There will be 40 musical performances at the In-Service Workshop/Conference, fourteen of which will be ensembles making their first appearance at an MMEA Conference! Don’t miss the All-Collegiate Orchestra on Friday evening and the All-State Honor Ensembles on Saturday afternoon. I have scheduled many receptions and business meetings requested by school and organization leaders. The time we spend collaborating and socializing with friends and colleagues is a valuable component to the Workshop.
