THE NEW JERSEY MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION a federated state association of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION for MUSIC EDUCATION News From Our Division Chairs
• Choral readings. Helps find new literature for my ensembles. • I would not attend only one workshop for an entire day - the large variety of available topics was greatly appreciated • Liked the advocacy workshop at the end of the day - good timing. • Something in performance and something that is necessary for music advocacy (such as the excellent STEAM workshop) • String orchestra reading session - find new pieces for my group • Wow. I guess STEAM ? I really liked strand hopping! • General music ideas/ new lesson plan concepts • Like the idea of multiple workshops to choose from. Same one all day would be like an in service day at school. No thanks. • Difficult to choose because they were all great Intro to Ukuleles/ The Singing Band/ Rounds To Sing-Rounds To Play/ Keeping It Moving, Traditional World Dances, etc.
• Not sure but anything involving string pedagogy, literature and modern trends • Special education • Reading sessions • Making Danielson work without compromising our teaching • The same…we are going through some curricular issues and this was a very helpful workshop in that regard. • I really enjoy working with and learning from Ardith and Brian on the Orff Schulwerk aspect of things. That is the most beneficial and relatable to my personal program.
• Reading session with a well known university clinician to experience new rehearsal techniques. • Middle School Choral Reading Session

Do you teach music with technology? Do your students compose, arrange, or create musical projects? Plan to attend the
9th Annual NJ Student Music Tech Expo. This student-centered, science fair style event features exhibits of adjudicated student works as well as hands-on workshops and performances. The event is open students in grades 3-12, sponsored by an NJMEA member. Throughout the day, students will explore electronic music-making in hands-on workshops with tech gear, receive training
from music industry professionals, and get up close to the action during performances. Student ensembles featuring electronic/ technology-based music are invited to perform. The Expo will culminate with an awards ceremony to recognize the exemplary works submitted by student participants. Student projects must be submitted in advance, and will be evaluated by professional composers using a festival rating scale
(gold, silver, bronze). Categories include remixes, multimedia, and applied technology projects. Students attending the Expo will have the opportunity to review and rate projects along with the pros, then vote for “best in show.” Mark your calendar now: Expo North will be held on Monday, May 20, 2019 at Rutgers and the Expo South will be held
at Rowan University on Tuesday, May 21, 2019, and Visit the Technology link at
njmea.org for more info. Registration is open now and will close on March 23. Project submissions will be accepted April 9-23. More info on pages 9-11.
