Interest Session ‐ Forum G (3rd Floor) Matthew Hoch: Vocal Terminology: Finding Common Ground and Synergy between Choral Directors and Teachers of Singing
As teachers of singing, choral directors and applied voice teachers have much in common. Tensions, however, often develop between choral directors and private singing teachers simply due to misunderstandings that occur as a result of using different terminology to describe vocal phenomena. This presentation, based in part on the research published in Dr. Hoch’s book, A Dictionary for the Modern Singer, advocates for a common terminology rooted in current, fact‐based voice pedagogy that can be utilized by both choral directors and teachers of singing. Focusing on common ground that already exists between choral directors and voice teachers, traditional jargon that can be a source of conflict can be replaced by descriptive, evidence‐ based language that reflects the most recent advances in voice science and pedagogy. Certain myths (such as "sing from your diaphragm") will be discussed and debunked, and the technique required for good choral singing will be discussed (a "healthy straight tone" is not necessarily an oxymoron). If this terminology is embraced by both parties, a fresh synergy between choral directors and singing can be realized.

AMEA Retired Member Meet and Greet ‐ Forum E (2nd Floor)
Interest Session ‐ Forum J (3rd Floor) Art Williams: Mister Rogers' Musical Neighborhood ‐ Extending Fred Rogers' Approach to Elementary Music Education
For more than 30 years, Fred Rogers used music as his primary means of educating children on his long‐running public television program, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Combining his formal training in music composition with his lifelong dedication to the study of child development, Rogers’ contributions to music education were recognized by many prominent musicians as well as the National Association for Music Education (then MENC). This session will highlight the six ways Fred Rogers incorporated music education into his award‐winning television series, as well as eight educational principles that undergirded his philosophy of elementary music education. Numerous practical suggestions for early childhood and elementary music educators, based on Rogers’ approach, will also be shared.
