From Your PresidentOCDA Summer Conference Is for Everyone!“Spring iS Sprung, the grass is riz, I wonderwhere the birdies is?” at little ditty was sungby my mother frequently as I was growing up. Ithink she got it from my grandfather who wasnotorious for funny little quips that, althoughgrammatically suspect, would make little chil-dren giggle every time.

As we watch the beauty of spring unfold and the academic calendar yearcome to a rapid close, we begin to think about the summer months. Manyof us make vacation plans for ourselves and our families and camp registra-tion deadlines approach for our children. is is also a time when we havethe opportunity to feed our professional selves with educational opportuni-ties such as the OCDA Summer Conference. is summer’s conference willbe held June 16–18 on the beautiful campus of Otterbein University inWesterville, Ohio. As my first year as president of this fine organizationcomes to an end, I am excited to offer you what I hope will be an invigorat-ing and exciting conference to energize and renew even the most exhaustedchoral conductor.

ree years ago, when I first assumed the office of president-elect, I wasboth excited and nervous about the conference planning process thatawaited me. (at hasn’t abated much!) I began making a list of clinicianswho had never visited our Ohio conference, who would be wonderful assetsto our organization. e first name that came to mind was that of RenéClausen. I have long wished to attend his summer conducting workshop inMinnesota but have not yet been able to do so. When I began planning forthis summer, I thought, why not bring Dr. Clausen to us?! His work as di-rector of the Concordia Choir is world renowned and he is highly soughtafter as a speaker and clinician. Dr. Clausen’s lyrical, accessible, and beauti-ful music has been a staple in my library for many years. I feel certain thatwe will all benefit greatly from his expertise.

Lori Hetzel, Associate Director of Choral Activities at the University ofKentucky and Artistic Director of the Lexington Singers Children’s Chorus,will bring her extensive knowledge in the area of working with children’sand women’s voices. In addition, Marla Butke and Sharon Davis Gratto will

share their knowledge of both Dal-croze technique and World Music.e OCDA Children’s HonorChoir will celebrate its 10th an-niversary under the baton of Dr.Sandra Mathias, Artistic DirectorEmeritus of the Columbus Chil-dren’s Choir. Dr. Mathias will openour conference with a session oncommissioning works for choirs,and the Children’s Honor Choirwill perform a commissioned workby composer Phillip Silvey to cele-brate their 10th anniversary.

Besides our wonderful Chil-

dren’s Honor Choir performance,we will enjoy concerts by the Mas-terworks Chorale of the SummitChoral Society, the Bexley HighSchool Vocal Ensemble, e KentState University Chorale, and theDempsey Singers of John C.Dempsey Middle School. Our sec-ond annual men’s and women’shigh school honors choirs will alsoperform under the direction ofJames Gallagher, professor emeri-tus of e Ohio State University,and Richard Mathey, professoremeritus of Bowling Green State

University. My goal when planning this

conference was to provide some-thing for every choral director inour organization regardless of ex-perience or area of interest. WhenI list here all that awaits us, I won-der to myself how anyone couldpossibly miss such an incredibleopportunity! I encourage you, ifyou have not already done so, topre-register online today and save$30. Visit us at ohiocda.org formore information. I look forwardto seeing you in June! d

After twelve years of teaching, I amstill figuring out my teaching style.I have been very fortunate to workwith many exceptional choral di-rectors and I have stolen ideasfrom all of them. Sometimes,though, I have to work with an ideaa little until I find my own way ofexecuting it. I have to make it partof my own toolkit and become fa-miliar with it. Sometimes even thebest idea fails and I have to find away to reintroduce it differently. Itis all part of finding your own style.Below are a few ideas on how to dothis.

Listen. YouTube has everything,good and bad. Listen to it all. At-tend concerts at OMEA andOCDA. You will find that you have

a preferred tone quality, or that youdevelop pet peeves. is is howyou train your ear for what youwant to hear with your own choirs.e first step to making it yourchoir is to know what you want itto sound like!

Experiment. Take risks! Try anidea a few times and a few differentways until it feels natural to you.ere is more than one way to han-dle expression in music, for exam-ple, and it has to work for you or itwon’t be comfortable. Let’s be hon-est, I am a scrawny white girl, someof the “greats” I admire so muchhave techniques or ways of explain-ing a concept that just sound funnywhen I say them. One of my stu-dents even told me once that when

I yell at them it is like their momdoing it so they tune it out! I haveeven had to find my own way toyell at them that isn’t a naggy momsound . . . or at least I have found away to use that to my advantage.Whatever it is—from rehearsaltechniques, warm ups, conductinggesture, classroom management,etc.—it also has to work for thestudents! At the high school levelwe are still doing a lot of modeling.It is ok to admit that you don’t haveall the answers, that you honormaster teachers and that you neverstop learning. Every time I returnfrom a conference, I am all hypedup to try something new. Some-times they love it, and sometimes Iget “Oh, no! She went to a confer-

ence again!” But I know they lovebeing part of the process. It keepsthings new for them too.

Study the masters. Read theirbooks, invite them to come in andwork with your groups, attendhonors choirs and watch how theywork with the students. Steal all oftheir ideas, but then mix them allup in your own bag of tricks andput your own spin on them. Ohiois full of these master teachers andthey are often very open to helpingyou out. ey want the choral artto continue as much as we do.

Put yourself and your group outthere for critique. Go to OMEAadjudicated events and other festi-

vals. Bring in visitors or take yourchoir out to perform in front ofpeople who can help. ink aboutit—that is how your students learnevery day. ey sing for you, yougive them feedback, they change it,they sing again, you give feedback,etc. Is that not sound teaching? Putyourself through the same thing. Ihave learned more from this thananything else, hands down.

Consult with others who are doingwhat you do. I once went to a con-ference and spent half the time inthe coffee shop across the street. Igot more out of that conferencethan I had in a long time! I had justtaken a high school level positionafter nine years of middle school

choir and I was not in a place to re-ceive any more information—I wasin survival mode! I sat with severalof my fellow choral directors andvented, shared, and collected newideas. I went back to my class thatyear feeling both thankful for whatI had and empowered to do what Iwanted with my new program. enext year I went back to the confer-ence, listened to master groups,and set goals for my own ensem-bles.

Above all, trust yourself and don’tbe afraid to fail. We are doing morethan just teaching choral music—we are an example for our students.Enjoy your job and have a greatend to the year! d

Last year I conducted Bizet’s “Valseavec choeur” at State Contest. Next week my kindergartners willperform “E-I-E-I Oops!”

August 25, 2006, was my first dayas a member of the faculty at Mas-sillon Washington High School.For me it held significance formany reasons, not the least ofwhich was this: Washington H.S. ismy alma mater, and after morethan a decade away from myhometown, I was returning not justto teach, but to become a part ofthe program that first fanned theflame of my love of choral music.

Of course, there is a vast gulfthat divides the experiences of arelatively naive high school studentfrom those of a slightly more ma-ture and seasoned teacher. Yet Ifelt a sense of pride and responsi-bility that I might not have experi-enced at any other school; pride inthe accomplishments of the pro-gram which ultimately shaped mydesire to become a choral teacher,and a responsibility to do all within

my power to maintain the level ofexcellence upon which I had beenraised as a student.

Massillon is a proud communitywith a rich history. Traditions havealways been important to my almamater and I was humbled to add myname to the list of dynamic, inspira-tional choir directors before me.

I knew these traditions well;they were special memories I heldclose to my heart, even more so asa teacher. I felt honored to teach atMassillon and thought I would cer-tainly retire from this position. But,after eight memorable years withour fine Massillon choir students, Ihad a tough decision to make.

Priorities had changed for me.My life was going in a directionthat I never thought was in theplan. I had joined the group of“moms” at 42! My husband and Iare proud parents of a 2-year oldson. He is a blessing and a joy inour lives. But, my determination tobalance a healthy marriage, be adevoted mother, and be committedto a choral program rich in history

and reputation, had made life a bitoverwhelming.

A high school choral programbuilt on excellence; quality timewith family: both very important.For nearly twenty years, my pas-sion and fulfillment was with highschool level choral music: memo-rable concerts, domestic and inter-national tours, OMEA adjudicatedevents, musicals, honors choirs,and on and on. I was nervousabout change, and it was not easyto think about leaving a job I lovedand held in such high regard. Yet asdifficult as my decision to move myfocus to elementary music was, Iwas still looking forward to differ-ent challenges at that level. Somepeople might think this move wassomewhat of a demotion, a stepbackwards, a step down from anesteemed choral program. What Ifound was that teaching can be anextremely satisfying career full ofopportunities for personal and pro-fessional development at everylevel! Few other professions allowyou to make such a positive and

It’s a question many friends havebeen asking since my shift fromfull- to part-time teaching. I’mlikely to say, I’m aiming to be play-ful every day. I remember the 8-year-old inside me, and I want himwith me more than ever—especiallyin my learning and teaching. Here’sa result of the kid at play; steal theidea if you wish!

Look at the inside of your LEFThand. See the spaces between yourfingers? Now bring the fourth fin-ger and little finger together. (Useyour right hand to help if neces-sary.) Now at some time you mayrecall Robin Williams in Mork andMindy, or you’ll say, Captain, livewell and prosper! And I hope youdo! But let’s get back on task. Look-ing at your left hand, do you seethe space between your index fin-ger and middle finger? And also theone between the middle and fourth

fingers? And the fourth finger asclose as possible to the little finger?

You’re walking around with atetrachord there, my friend—oneof the most useful tools in theworld of music. Whole-step,whole-step, half-step. For example,C-D-EF (WWH). See the spacesfor the two black keys? Start an-other one on a G, (G-A-BC), andyou’ve built a C major scale! Pickany letter name you choose, besure to refer to the piano keyboardto compute the whole and halfsteps, and start your own Tetra-chord Construction Company.You’re gonna be a whiz! (You maybe thinking, well I know the scaleis WWHWWWH. And you’reright, of course.) But my studentsare teaching me that it’s much eas-ier to think in groups of four thanin groups of eight. Just think of themyriad of phrases that include 4-

note groups, many with the half-step in this location. e openingof “Seventy-Six Trombones”marches into my mind!

If you’ll play with me here, you’llimagine 1-2-34 attached by a wholestep to 5-6-78. At some point you’llenjoy thinking: So, what if the firsttetrachord is recast as 5-6-78?en, I’ll go to the left—down-ward—to the flat side of life—tofind the first step, the one uponwhich I’ll build my 1-2-34. Speakthe names of the pitches aloud (ad-vanced learners could sing them)as you touch each finger of thetetrachord. (Students learn bestwhen they say and do!)

Want a little rehearsal re-fresher? Pull 4 volunteers from thegroup; have them face the choirand form a tetrachord, space be-tween 1-2, 2-3, and have persons 3and 4 close enough to touch arms.

What’s New?Per Jarjisian, Two-Year College R&S Chair


lasting impact on people’s lives andhelp shape the minds of the future.

After spending a year teachingelementary music, I found it just aschallenging and rewarding as highschool, yet on a different level.We’ve all heard the overused anal-ogy of building a house and howimportant the foundation is. I havea newfound respect for the impor-tance of this and can see the relationto music education. It is just as im-portant and rewarding to begin toteach a child the love of music as it

is to see them develop into mature,young adults with all of their prom-ising potential. We all know howimportant the beginning basics areto the smooth transition from ele-mentary to middle school to highschool. (All the ta-ta-ti-ti-ta, do-re-mi, recorder Karate and musicals wework hard on at the elementarylevel will hopefully come to fruitionat the high school program!)

My twenty years teaching highschool give me insight into how toprepare these eager beginners for

their experiences at an upper levelof choral music. And now I relishthe responsibility of building thesefundamentals of music from theground up.

What are the challenges and re-wards you’re experiencing in yourcareer? We all have obstacles toovercome, decisions to make, andgoals to achieve, but each one of usis an essential piece in the futuresuccess of our youth. e reality is,change can be good. My reality is:change was good. d

Want to convert the major scaleto a natural minor scale built onthe same letter name? ink thenumber 367; have persons 3 and 6move to their right (so they touchthe shoulders of persons 2 and 5);and have person 7 move towardperson 6, so s/he is now a wholestep away from person 8. e resultwill look like: 1-23-4-56-7-8.Hooray—a natural minor scale! As-sign each person a letter name, andhave them shift from major tominor. Have the whole choir writethe two scales on staff paper. e

fun has just begun! Harmonicminor? Have person 7 go back nextto 8!

I can’t express how gratifying ithas been to see students embracingthis handy aid in a Foundations ofMusic class this year. e tetra-chord—in their hand—has led toconfidence in constructing scales,understanding key signatures, andrelating it all to the Circle of Fifthsand to the relationship of primarytriads.
