ANYONE can write a topic paper and we would love to have more authors as more people got involved in the process over the course of the last year. Please visit the authors page.
The phrase “working at height” might offer thoughts of someone roofing your house or a worker up in a personnel lift. Neither of those images are wrong, but the term can also be applicable to a student performing on a 4-foot-high stage platform, a percussionist on a drum riser or a community volunteer stepping up on the high school stage to receive an award.
Heart of the Arts: This award seeks to recognize those individuals who exemplify the ideals of the positive heart of the arts that represent the core mission of education-based activities. Nominations for the Heart of the Arts Award are DUE by February 1, 2022.
How might we encourage more leadership from our students within a traditional large ensemble setting? Included are some of the instructional activities to help create more leadership opportunities for students in high school music programs!
Contrary to what your students may lead you to believe, there’s more to YouTube than vloggers, video game commentary, and cat videos! YouTube, when used correctly, is a plentiful resource for you and your students, both in and out of the classroom.
