A VIEW FROM THE THIRD FLOOR

Dr. Eric W. Unruh D.M., N.C.T.M.

Happy, Prosperous New Year to all WMTA members! Have you made your resolutions for 2009? I am feeling that the months have flown by since the July Conference in Powell, and I wonder what I have done to further the mission of WMTA. I’m wondering what local chapters are doing as well! Like our students who “forget” to practice, I could fill the Horizons with excuses, but the enjoyable work of the Association must continue! Moving the state convention from summer to fall has provided an opportunity to sit back and think about the future of the organization, and to plan with renewed energy in the new year. At my college we have been discussing “leadership” versus “management”, and realize that one can coast with the latter, but—to further the mission—one must have the time to think and dream about the future. Thankfully, our Association is

solid enough to allow one valuable time to think and plan. I hope you have some time, too, to think about your own studio, your students, and your goals. One improvement my college music department has made this year is the addition of studio classes for all the disciplines. Piano students, for example, receive their full private lesson, but also attend a group class, where students practice performing for each other. I lead a discussion to discern what the positive aspects of the performance were, and how the performance can be improved. Often the discussion may include the historical context of a work, which is deemed vital for interpretation. The result has been remarkable. Students seem better prepared for a “real” performance, their listening skills have improved, and they are building a foundation of repertoire that leads to more curiosity about the literature. Perhaps most importantly, they are having an enjoyable time, and readily support each other. I am hearing similar success stories from my colleagues in voice, winds, and guitar. Is this a model for WMTA teachers? I know several members hold studio classes, and I imagine these are just as positive. If you have not tried

MUSIC HORIZONS – January, 2009 Issue

this (and with our busy schedules, you might ask how it might be possible), I encourage you to try it. If this is impossible for you, then spend some time thinking about one improvement you can implement in your studio to inspire, instill curiosity, or expand knowledge. When I attended the MTNA Leadership Summit, the Colorado state president approached me, and extended a warm invitation to all WMTA members to attend the Colorado Conference in June. (You should find information in this edition of Horizons.) I encourage you to consider this, and plan to attend—particularly since our next convention will not occur until November 2009. I would also like to know if we have WMTA members who are lucky enough to travel to Atlanta, Georgia for the national convention. Now that our “hiatus” is over, I assure you that we are busy planning the November 2009 Conference in Casper. I hope we will share some ideas about improving the educational experience of our music students. But let’s not wait until then! Please do not hesitate to use the Horizons email list and let us know if you have new ideas. We no longer have to wait for the publication of Horizons to communicate with one another! As always, I am happy to visit your chapter. Please do not

hesitate to contact me to set up a date. In the meantime, best wishes for a great new year!

PRESIDENT-ELECT REPORT

Karen Bree

As you will recall, during the WMTA general business meeting in July, we voted to move annual Conference from the summer June/July timeframe to the fall, and hold the Conference in conjunction with the state competition. It will be a wonderful opportunity for us all to hear the fine young musicians in the state! The 2009 Conference is scheduled for Thursday November 5 through Saturday November 7 in Casper. The schedule will generally follow the guidelines of conferences in the last few years; sessions on Thursday and Friday, with State Achievement Day and a master class with the guest artist taking place on Saturday, and the state

competitions taking place on campus simultaneously. Because of the change of dates, the planning process isn’t as far along at this point as in previous years; however, we’ve got some great ideas and prospects and by the end of January the guest artist and slate of presenters should be in place. Casper College is a wonderful location and centrally located in Wyoming (as much as that is possible), and with the added excitement of the state competition occurring during the same timeframe, we should have a record-breaking Conference! Details will be published in the May 2009 edition of Horizons, and if you have questions, comments, or suggestions in the meantime please feel free to contact me at: kbree@tctwest.net. See you in Casper!

LOCAL ASSOCIATION REPORTS

Casper

Arlene K. Osborn The Casper Music Teachers Association has been very busy this fall with individual projects. We met in August to set up the calendar for the coming year, and found that our schedules conflicted, so we decided not to try to meet every month. We welcomed Kathy Williams

and Cindy Rogers to the group. Kathy is teaching at Casper College as well as in her studio, and Cindy has come from Scottsbluff, Nebraska. She taught through the college, and is looking forward to teaching at Casper College and in her private studio. In October we sponsored a fall festival program, "Children Helping Children" at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church. The following musicians participated in the program and raised over $1200 to benefit Melissa Berg, and Gavin Maxwell through the Children's Organ Transplant Association, and Gracie Albright through the First National Bank in Buffalo. They are: Lindsey Bergamn, Brant Rieker, Marcus Rieker, Jacob and Kelsa Rodolph, Jon Johnson, Emma & Gavin Green, Aliah Childs, Ellie Renkert, Rebecca, Rachel, and Mary Cotton, Sariah, Leah, Hannah, Rachel and Caleb St. Clair, Kyla Christensen, Brytnee Streeter, Kendra Wheeler, Jeffrie Wen, Sylvia Shanklin, Brooke Williams, Hailey, Ben and Jason Williams, Sarah Clayson, Jessica & Melissa Berg, and Gordon Moens. We would also like to thank the businesses that sponsored the program; Casper Star Tribune, Casper Journal, Hill Music Co. Keenan Supply, Bear Creek Originals, and Actual Image Service, Inc. and the music teachers who prepared their

students; Kathy Williams, Carolyn Deuel, Sarah Clayson, Jani Van Deusen and Arlene Osborn. Thank you, also, to Renee Naquin who emceed the program and Our Saviour's Lutheran Church for providing space. A Christmas luncheon was held on December 6th to touch bases with each other and plan activities for the winter. We are looking forward to AAD’s on April 25th at Calvary Baptist Church, and hope to sponsor a masterclass next spring. Happy New Year to everyone!

Cheyenne Barb Ruegge

The Cheyenne Music Teachers’ Association gathered for their first meeting of the new teaching year at the new library. President, Eleanor Lane reported on the WMTA Conference that was held in Powell in July. We heard numerous accolades for the conference – its programs, clinicians, workshops and activities. Those of us who were unable to attend felt quite aware of what we had missed! Another fall program for our group was a sharing session concerning Memory Problems. (Of the students, not the teachers) One thought expressed was that “Students who are good readers don’t memorize well.” It was an interesting productive discussion,

but we didn’t solve all the problems. We try to have several Sharing Sessions during the year on a variety of topics. Our November program featured the members playing some of their favorite Christmas music. Some performed some fun new duets. The annual Pianofest auditions were held on November 22nd, with judges Mary Rudy, Jeannine Green and Caleb Harris, all from Colorado. On December 13th, students played Christmas music at the Mall. The Roland keyboard for this event, was generously provided by Niemann & Sons Music. Dave Niemann also provides piano moving services at the library for our events such as Pianofest and Area Achievement Day, and we appreciate his generosity. Students also provided background music at the Governor’s residence for the holidays. CMTA are presently preparing a piano marathon, entitled “Play It Forward”, to be held April 25th. The purpose for this event will be to benefit a charity in the community. We are presently working out the details. Looking ahead, we are planning the annual Area Achievement Day for March 7th. Wishing you all the best in the New Year.

Laramie Dee Moody

The Laramie Music Teachers Association has had a great fall with informative meetings and two student performance recitals. Our meeting are on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the home of participating teachers and include planning for upcoming performances, review of past events and sharing teaching tips. October and November were the months for students performance recitals. October showcased classical performance and November demonstrated all eras of music including ensemble work. Alla Latchininsky's students performed Williams Gillock's Preludes in Lyrics along with artwork appropriate to the musical selection -- very impressive. February will be our fund-raising performance event. Students will be performing all memorized music with friends and family supporting their efforts by pledging donations to a charitable group here in Laramie. All the teachers are looking forward to this event with anticipation of being well received and perhaps becoming an annual event for Laramie. 2009 promises to be a year of new ideas for the Laramie group and we are all looking forward to exciting performances and educational opportunities.

Sheridan Betsy R. Edwards

The Sheridan Chapter of MTNA has been busy! November was a very industrious month for our students. Mr. Davide Cabassi, a fine concert pianist, performed the evening of November 14 at the WYO theatre in Sheridan. All piano students and their parents in the Sheridan area were given a special discount in order to be able to attend this concert. The following day, Mr. Cabassi taught many students in a wonderfully educational master class. Following the master class, the students performed in two recitals. All of these events occurred at the WYO theatre, which donated the use of their excellent facility for our use. It was a memorably day for all. In January the chapter will be meeting at the Sheridan County Fulmer Library where we will be given a tour of musical possibilities there. Area Achievement Day for the Sheridan area is scheduled for 7 March with Stake MTNA president Don Unruh as the judge. All are busy working and looking forward to this event!

Southwest Eileen Evans

The South-West association is doing well as we start another busy but exciting teaching year. Toward the end of October we held our annual Ensemble Festival at the Western Wyo.

Comm. College. Students and teachers alike had fun performing piano duets and duos. On November 13, Dr. Peter Mack came to perform for us, which was a real treat! He did a fascinating workshop the next day on intermediate piano literature. We are looking forward to our local AAD, which will be held in April. We will be meeting soon to finish plans for the upcoming 2009 AAD, which is always a big highlight for our students. COMMITEE REPORTS

WMTA Newsletter

Jani Van DeusenThe decision to have our state convention in November affects the timing for articles for “Music Horizons.” I’ve suggested that the August issue be changed to a September issue which would be the pre-convention issue with information on presenters, workshops, motels, etc. The January issue may include comments or reviews of the November convention, Chapter Presidents’ mid-year reports, convention minutes, Treasurer’s report, plus any articles or pictures you’d like included. The May issue would hopefully include some articles from the National Convention and Chapter Presidents’ reports summarizing the year’s activities. We decided at the July

Karen S. BreeMusic has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was born and raised in southeastern Iowa, and my family was very musical. We sang a lot: at home, in the car, in church… For as long as I can remember, I wanted to play the piano, and started lessons going into 2nd grade. I was fortunate to attend a small school, and my music teacher at school had been my kindergarten teacher, and then was also my piano teacher for 10 years. My senior year of high school, I studied with my band teacher, who had recently graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College with a degree in piano performance. Our junior high and high school were housed in the same building, and when I moved to that building in 7th grade, the choir/orchestra/band teacher, Dr. K. Marie Stolba (although she hadn’t earned her doctorates yet), recruited me as the accompanist, and from then until I graduated, I was the sole accompanist for our school.

It was about the same time that the Sunday School pianist was gone one Sunday and I was asked if I could play a hymn. After that, I was also the Sunday School pianist. About a year later, the organist asked if I would substitute for him, and that started my experience with the organ. I became the primary organist of our church when I was a sophomore in high school. I attended William Penn College in Oskaloosa, Iowa, on a full tuition scholarship in piano where I continued my accompanying experience as well as keeping up with my studies as a music major. My husband Mike and I met while attending WPC. We now have two sons and four beautiful grandchildren: Skylah (8), Emery (7), Ella (5), and Gabe (1). In almost 40 years of marriage, we have lived in Iowa, New Jersey, Montana, and for the last 20 years have lived in Cody. I have taught piano for almost 40 years, have been a church organist for 45 years, and have worked as an accompanist wherever we’ve lived. It was while living in Montana in the 1980’s that I was introduced to MTNA and Montana State Music Teachers Association. I became a member in 1983, studied with Dr. Gay Garard-Brewer, and in 1986 earned a professional teaching certificate through the MSMTA. When we moved to Cody in 1989, I was granted and held

MUSIC HORIZONS – January, 2009 Issue

state certification with WMTA until it was abolished a few years ago. In addition, for 22 years I worked for the US Forest Service in the information technology arena. The move to Cody was to accept a promotion to Forest Computer Specialist/Information Technology Specialist for the Shoshone National Forest, a position I held for 16 years. I retired from federal service in 2005. “Retired” is not exactly how I would describe my life, however. After leaving federal service, I started a Kindermusik program in Cody, and am now expanding to teach Music for Young Children, as well. I am convinced that the most important time to introduce children to the joy of music is when they are very young. I also maintain a private piano studio, serve as the organist/pianist for the Cody United Methodist Church, accompany the Cody Chorale and Cody Middle School choirs, and occasionally present lectures on various topics pertaining to music. Teaching music helps keep me young at heart. There is such enjoyment in the time I spend with my students! There’s always something to learn from them, and I often hear from former students; some are teachers themselves and want advice with their students, and sometimes they want to introduce

me to their spouses or their children. It’s a good feeling to think I’ve had enough influence in their lives that they still want to share things with me, and that I’ve been able to give them the gift of music, at least on some level. In addition, my affiliation with MTNA and WMTA in particular, has been very rewarding and beneficial. I have served in many capacities at the state and local levels both in Montana and Wyoming, and I’m fortunate to have so many colleagues and friends in the ranks of the organization. I look forward to attending conferences and other gatherings, gleaning fresh ideas, being revitalized, and renewing friendships!

TEACHING TIPS Cindy Rogers

THE BREATH OF LIFE IN OUR MUSIC

“Doctor, Doctor! She doesn’t have a pulse! There’s nothing there! No pulse! No pulse!” “Call a code! STAT!!” “Clear!!!” KA-WONK!!!! Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, beep……. Aah….. the sweet sound of a steady beat…… and life returns. While this scenario may be a bit over-dramatized, it does illustrate just how important a steady beat

is to our students and their music. Finding ways to incorporate steady beat and its absolute necessity into our teaching curriculum is a constant challenge to us as private piano teachers. While Mr. Holland (in his Opus) continues to pound the beat into his football helmeted student’s head, I try other methods. Most importantly, I begin the very first lesson with the introduction of steady beat and its significance. Depending on the age of my student, we feel our own pulse, either at our wrists, or by putting our hands over our hearts. “What do you feel?” I ask them. “Can you count the beats out loud?” Sometimes, I let them feel my pulse at my wrist. “Count the beats”, I tell them. And then I ask them the most important question: “What happens if we don’t have a pulse?” (thinking, thinking…..) “We fall over dead!!!!” I say. And there is the great connection. “Our music is the same way – it “falls over dead” if it doesn’t have a pulse, too!” I then play a small repertoire of music – some with a steady beat, some without, and get the “kiddos” to tell me which one has a steady beat and which one does not. Sometimes, I ask them to set the steady beat for me before I begin, and then I match my playing to the beat they chose. Having the students slap their thighs with both hands seems to be an easy, yet very physical way to feel the beat,

MUSIC HORIZONS – January, 2009 Issue

while incorporating it into their bodies. Another great “steady beat aid” is utilized in my group lesson time. Whenever we meet and play for each other, someone gets to play his piece while the rest of the group slaps the floor in a “group steady beat”. This is a great tool for the player and the listeners at the same time. The pianist feels the entire room setting the pulse and tries very hard to stay with it. The other students have to stay together, and stay steady, all the while listening to the piece to see if the pianist is staying with the beat. Of course, I have my students count. “1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and…..” Old fashioned, I know, but it still works. Not only do they count, but they count out loud. Not only do they count out loud, but they count out loud with a steady beat. All three parts of the equation are necessary for our music to have the “breath of life”, and to not “fall over dead”. And how do I get them to do this age old practice? Stickers, I can’t believe how well those silly stickers still work on kids. If the “kiddos” count out loud with a steady beat (all three parts), then we “double sticker” the piece. And I make a big deal about how they are “running me out of stickers and how I’m going to have to order more before their next lesson because they used so many of my stickers in one lesson!” The kids love it! And

for me, ordering stickers is a small price to pay for students who count every piece they play. Just like the human heart beat is vital for our life, so is a steady beat in our music. I play with my students as much as possible; since duet work must have both of us playing and counting together in order to stay together. Plus, we have a great time playing together! That’s when the joy of making music really comes out – which is why I do this work in the first place. Getting these kids to enjoy what they do, and to feel good about a job well done, makes me feel like I’ve made a difference in their lives.

MTNA NATIONAL NEWS

2009 National Conference

The 2009 MTNA National Conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, March 28–April 1, at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. It marks MTNA's 123rd National Conference and will once again be the largest gathering of independent and collegiate music teachers in the country. You won't want to miss any of the conference events. With more than 100 educational sessions and industry showcases, there is something for everyone. Performance coach Don Greene will give the Conference's

keynote address Sunday, March 29, touching on ways a musician can transform pre-performance anxiety into onstage success. Workshops such as the MTNA-NPF Recreational Music Making and Group Teaching Track, the MTNA-IAEKM Technology Track and, for the first time ever, a Collaborative Performance Track, will be offered. The Collaborative Performance Track is a series of sessions that will focus on the various aspects of collaborative performance, as nationally recognized clinicians will present strategies. In addition, Saturday through Tuesday of the conference will feature the finals of the MTNA Student Performance Competitions and the Winners Concerts. The Annual Business Meeting of the Association will take place Tuesday, March 31, and members are invited to take an active role in the association and have their voices heard. MTNA will honor its members who have devoted their time and energy to better the association and music teaching profession at the Awards Brunch to be held at the Plaza Ballroom, Westin Peachtree Plaza, Wednesday, April 1. The evening concert bill should be one of the conference's best ever. Immediately following the Opening Session, renowned pianist Margo Garrett and collaborators will perform. On Tuesday, Russian pianist Olga

Kern, who in 2001 became the first woman in more than 30 years to win the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, will perform in recital. Another special evening event will be the MTNA Gala, a black-tie-optional affair at the Georgia Aquarium. Arrive early to the conference to take advantage of three pre-conference sessions—Pedagogy Saturday, Professional Studio Saturday and Collegiate Expo. Pedagogy Saturday, with the theme "Music For A Lifetime: Learning And Teaching Strategies For Adults" will be headlined by Robert Roush. Roush, of the Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine, will focus for the first time on teaching adults and meeting the needs of adult students of all ages. Professional Studio Saturday, and its theme A Studio Without Walls, will focus on excellence in teaching with modern tools, particularly tools that extend the reach of the teacher beyond the studio setting. Collegiate members are encouraged to attend the Collegiate Expo, a workshop featuring young professionals talking about the transition from student to professional—how to effectively build an independent studio or work from the other side of the desk. Conference favorites like master classes and teaching demonstrations will also take place, and a series of technology

sessions and an open computer lab will be available to attendees. Of course, don't forget to spend some time in the exhibit hall, where a variety of print music, music technology, instruments and more will be on display. To find out more about the conference or to register, visit https://members.mtna.org/Conference2009/index.html. A full schedule is now available. Remember the early registration deadline is February 16, 2009.
