Special Learners Maureen Butler

There were several excellent sessions at the February convention, where music teachers once again showed their


willingness to learn how to incorporate special learners in their classes. I’m continually impressed by the eagerness of music teachers who go “above and beyond” to make music accessible to all learners. Many thanks to our presenters, who shared keen insight and valuable strategies. Currently, plans are being made for our annual summer conference, and workshops are being planned based on


the survey conducted at the conclusion of last summer’s session. If you have any specific topics you’d like to see ad- dressed at this conference, please email me at the above address. As always, if you have questions or concerns about the students you teach, or topics want to see addressed in TEMPO please contact me as well.

Summer Workshop XI


I am pleased to announce that Summer Workshop XI will take place on Tuesday, August 7, 2018, from 8 am. To 5:30 pm. All activities will take place in the Arts and Interactive Media Building on the College of New Jersey campus in Ewing. Below you will find our tentative session topic roster at this early stage of planning. All sessions are designed to


be interactive, in a relaxed summer setting, so come prepared to utilize your voice, instrument, i-devices, and musical skills, in activities designed to be brought back to your classroom.


Presenters needed: Although we are well on our way regarding sessions, we are still open to proposals from the


membership. Please complete and return the presenter request form on the Summer workshop homepage, or via email to: njmeasummerworkshop@gmail.com or akinskas@rowan.edu , on or before April 6, 2018.
