this approach when your students are already tuneful, beatful, and artful. CS is similar to a conversational language program. She dis- cusses how CS is not a comprehensive curriculum as it is only one of three parts of every general music lesson. In addition, she explains how the main focus of CS is building a rock solid “ear foundation” before moving to reading/writing notation. Missy’s webinar goes through the eight steps and shows amazing student examples.
3. A Great Day with Denise Gagne: This webinar featured
highlights from the October NJSMA workshop that showcased the famous Denise Gagne, author of numerous materials such as Mu- sicplay and Learn and Play Recorder. The highlights feature songs, dances, and activities from a variety of Denise’s series. In addition, there were excellent performances from the 6th grade Copeland Orff Ensemble directed by Ardith Collins and from The Two Ukes (Jody Adessa and Casey Goryeb). 4. Using Technology with the Feierabend Approach: Ear- lier in the season, Missy Strong and Amy M. Burns ventured to the Texas Music Educators Association in coordination with the Technol- ogy for Music Education (TI:ME) to present “Using Technology with the Feierabend Approach.” It was a highly attended session that showed Missy’s journey to using Feierabend’s First Steps and Conversational Solfege in her classroom as well as how Amy uses technology to enhance the concepts taught using the Feierabend Approach. Special thanks to SC music educator and elementary tech expert, Cherie Herring, for taking the video of the session.
5. Using Technology for Assessment in the Elementa-
ry Music Classroom: This is the most recent webinar posted for NJMEA’s elementary music educators. Amy shows the various tech- nological tools that one can use to assess elementary music students, especially when one is trying to show how a student reaches the SLO/SGO for the class. These tools can vary from one device in the classroom to a 1:1 classroom. It also covers multiple devices from iOS to Chromebooks. This has been a wonderful year for webinars and I hope to pro-
vide some more next year. Have a peaceful and relaxing summer! Amy M. Burns (
aburns@fhcds.org) has taught PreK-grade 4 general
music for 20 years at Far Hills Country Day School. She has authored 3 books on how to integrate tech into the elementary music classroom. She has presented many sessions on the topic, including 2 keynote addresses in TX and AU. She is the recipient of the TI:ME Teacher of the Year, NJ Master Music Teacher and Governor’s Leader in Arts Education Awards.
