technology! The New Jersey Music Educators Association will be sponsoring the 9th
Bring your students to a memorable live event, and showcase their creative accomplishments making music with Annual Student Music Technology Expo
and Competition in two locations! Expo North with be held Monday, May 20, 2019, 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM at Rutgers University, and Expo South will be on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM at Rowan University. Music teachers and students in grades 3-12 are invited to this live event featuring hands-on workshops and performances. “Science fair” style exhibits will showcase student compositions, remixes, multimedia, and applied technology
projects. Projects submitted in advance for adjudication will be evaluated using a festival rating scale (gold, silver, bronze). The day will include an on-site ‘live’ production contest and ‘student choice award.’ Students will have op- portunity for hands-on workshops with tech gear. Electronic/alternative ensembles are invited to perform. All participants should bring their own lunch and headsets/earbuds. Teachers should follow their school district policies for field trip approvals and chaperone requirements. (Chaper-
ones are admitted to the Expo at no additional cost.) Registration will open on January 2, 2019. (email

Compositions should prominently illustrate creative use of technology. Projects incorporating use of prerecorded loops will not be considered in this category. All compositions, including those intended for live performance, should be rendered or synthesized in some digital manner (MP3, CD, laptop) as there will be no space provided for live perfor- mance.
2-Covers, Remixes & Loop-Based Projects including arrangements/recordings of pre-existing songs, song samples
and projects incorporating a combination of original material and prerecorded loops. Projects should demonstrate originality in musical choices and creative use of technology. All projects should be rendered or synthesized in some digital manner (MP3, CD, laptop) as there will be no space provided for live performance. 3-Multimedia works demonstrating the convergence of music with more than one discipline, which may include
art/photography, video, broadcast journalism, digital storytelling and so on. Works need not be original compositions, but should reflect creative use of technology. 4-Applied Technology encompasses distinctive projects that utilize technology for a specific purpose. Works may include the creation of new electronic musical instruments, interactive music systems, software projects to aid in com- position, performance, and music instruction, and more. Projects should be self-contained for a simple demonstration. Submission must include a brief description of the design/development process and relevant photos or video. 5-Production/Engineering Students entering this category will demonstrate their skills in production or engineer- ing created within a digital audio workstation (DAW). Students will be provided prerecorded tracks for a recording in
