SUMMARY:“They Don’t Have to Sound Like Middle Schoolers”: Developing Musicianship and Ensemble Training in the Middle School Ensemble Using a Conceptualized Approach
DESCRIPTION:There is an unspoken myth that middle school bands have to sound underdeveloped. As well as having quality middle school performing ensembles in minorities' communities tends to be undervalued. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the need for strong musicianship and ensemble training at the middle school level. This presentation will discuss the methods\, strategies\, philosophy\, and pedagogy necessary to develop healthy\, high-performing middle school instrumental ensembles. The primary focus is to develop a curriculum using the “Wisconsin CMP Method” (Conceptualize Learning). The initiative of this presentation is to address the importance of strong individual musicianship training\, ensemble training\, performing ensembles\, and music programs in minority communities at the middle school level\, and that they are often overlooked and unrepresented. The goal is to debunk the myth that middle school ensembles “must” sound underdeveloped or cannot perform with strong musical fundamentals. Lastly\, this presentation will help to edify the developmental pipeline of musicians from communities of color (elementary\, middle\, high\, collegiate\, professional\, etc.) Throughout this presentation\, topics of discussion will be a “nuts and bolts” approach that focuses on developing ensemble sound using musical concepts such as tone quality\, intonation\, ensemble blend and balance\, articulation\, and dynamic contrast. The primary vehicle of this method is developing the ensemble through the warm-up process and sequenced topic lessons using a “Private Lesson” format approach. The presentation will also include developing group/individual musicianship and technique building. Middle school-aged students will benefit from this teaching method as they will gain more confidence in themselves as young people and musicians\, become more motivated to continue in a performing ensemble\, and gain autonomy as musicians to make intelligent musical choices on their own\, independent of the conductor\, and be more fulfilled making music. In conclusion\, this presentation will benefit college professors in the development of future music educators by encouraging them to take a more comprehensive approach to developing middle school ensembles and place a higher value on strong performing middle school ensembles in minority and underrepresented communities\, while equipping them with the tools necessary to develop those ensembles and scholars.

DESCRIPTION:You want AI to organize your library\, help bring your ideas to life\, assist you in planning\, and help facilitate how best to teach particular skillsets.

We can also teach our students to use it this way too!

SUMMARY:Incorporating ACCESS Testing in the Music Classroom
DESCRIPTION:As a music teacher\, you may teach all the students in your school\, including students who do not primarily speak English. Each year\, this group of students do a test called the ACCESS test. While this test provides great insight on how these students understand the English language\, how can we understand the test results for ourselves and apply it to our classes? Please join me in this session as we learn to understand the ACCESS testing system and how we can apply this new understanding to our music classroom through discussions\, strategies\, and more!

SUMMARY:The Pulse of Belonging: Building Connection Through Participatory Music
DESCRIPTION:Music classrooms and ensembles can become powerful spaces for connection\, belonging\, and community when participation is intentionally designed. This interactive session explores how participatory music structures such as layered rhythm\, echoing\, collaborative creation\, and low-risk entry points can help foster engagement\, shared leadership\, and meaningful connection among students and school communities.Drawing from classroom practice and a graduate capstone project focused on participatory music-making and belonging\, the session will combine brief participatory experiences\, reflection\, discussion\, and practical facilitation strategies that educators can adapt to a variety of musical settings. While examples will draw from collaborative drumming and participatory ensemble experiences\, the structures and concepts presented can be applied across elementary general music\, choral\, instrumental\, and community contexts.Participants will leave with practical ideas for creating more connected\, inclusive\, and participatory musical experiences in their own classrooms and ensembles.

SUMMARY:More Music - Less Mayhem
DESCRIPTION:We all have felt the lasting effects of the COVID-19 lockdown\, particularly the increase in disruptive and negative student behaviors in classrooms. Since the pandemic\, music educators have reported both increased frequency and severity of disruptive behaviors while also feeling underprepared to address them effectively. As schools increasingly adopt Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)\, many music teachers are seeking practical ways to adapt these strategies to ensemble and general music settings. This session aligns with the Emerging Practices strand by exploring evidence-based approaches for implementing PBIS effectively in music classrooms. Participants will learn strategies to reduce disruptive behaviors\, strengthen classroom management\, and create positive\, safe\, and productive learning environments that support student engagement and musical growth.

DESCRIPTION:Drawing on the work of Stronge\, Danielson and van Manen\, and predicated on Dewey’s statement that “learning improves to the degree that it arises out of the process of reflection\,” this session provides an overview of the philosophical foundations of reflective practice and facilitates an exploration of a wide variety of reflective practice tools that can be implemented by music teachers at all stages of the professional experience continuum. Once we begin this process\, we begin to see and hear what we really do – or don’t do – not just what we think we do. It will lead us to be more reflective and to be comfortable leading our students into reflective activity by example.
