Summer Workshop XI I am pleased to announce that Summer Workshop XI will take place on Tuesday, August 7, 2018, on the campus of The College of New


Jersey. Session Ideas & Presenters needed: At the conclusion of the previous ten workshops, participants were asked to respond to an online


program survey. The workshop committee utilizes the timely responses as the basis for development of the next event. The survey results are attached below for everyone’s review, and to serve as a basis for generating the Workshop XI agenda. If you see a session recommendation that you can facilitate let me know. Our early deliberations are focused on presenting extended-concentrated sessions in all areas. If you are interested in developing a ses- sion, please complete and return the presenter request form, via email, to njmeasummerworkshop@gmail.com or akinskas@rowan.edu, on or before April 1, 2018.


I would also like to take this opportunity to thank last summer’s presenters who truly exemplify the high level of talent we are fortunate to


have in New Jersey, and are willing to share their talents and techniques with our statewide constituency. Take a minute to access our website on the NJMEA conferences link, to scan the pictures which reflect an enjoyable and productive day.


We look forward to another beneficial day for all in attendance. Think summer!

************************************************************************************************************ And the survey says… You asked. We listen. What would you like to see at next year’s NJMEA Summer Workshop that you did no see this year/have not seen in the past?


• In your opinion, what area(s) of information is/are needed? • More sessions with experienced teachers talking about their trials and tribulations as a teacher is what I look for. • More on music technology resources and lesson plans (including audio recording). • Vocal Warm-ups, Classroom Management Skills, Games/Bonding Activities. • Preschool teaching. Two things: 1- If presenters could tell us at the beginning of a session that they have a handout with everything they are doing then I could participate 100% instead of taking notes. I have tried NOT taking notes and it does me no good. I would never, ever remember things. Would we be allowed to videotape presenters during parts of the presentations if we promised just to use it for our own reference? Thank you to presenters who had detailed handouts.
