the art of instrumental music teaching
symposium statement of purpose
the goal of every artist teacher in the medium of instrumental music should be the development of musical skills and appreciation. this symposium develops the premise that through making music, through developing experiences with and about music, and through the education of future artist teachers, the potential for realizing a society that values music can be maximized.
the college band directors national association, ( cbdna ) in cooperation with the instrumental music teacher educators ( imte ) and ithaca college school of music, propose the ithaca college symposium on instrumental music education. the primary focus of this symposium is the education of college level instrumental music teachers and their role in the development of a comprehensive school instrumental music program. there are three components to this event. the first is a philosophical and practical examination of contemporary music teacher education as it relates to instrumental music in the schools. what are the roles of college and university conductors and instrumental music teacher educators in the preparation of future public school teachers ? the second component addresses the curriculum of instrumental music teacher education. what are we preparing future public school instrumental music educators to do ? the final component is a conducting/teaching workshop with a unique focus. these sessions will examine what experiences including but not limited to expressive conducting can encourage the development of musical skills and appreciation.
outline of symposium
there will be daily plenary sessions attended by all involved led by a recognized authorities discussing philosophical perspectives of cbdna and imte. this collaboration is a key and unique element to this symposium.
there will be sessions offered by invited members of cbdna and imte devoted to curriculum development as they relate to the realities of contemporary school music. how do we recruit the artist teacher ? when and where does this take place ? sessions will have a goal to develop a purpose statement defining an exemplar curriculum for instrumental music education including the roles of the college/university instrumental conductors and the instrumental music teacher educator.
the pedagogical component will be multi-faceted and robust. it will focus on the teaching and rehearsing of students in various traditional and nontraditional configurations and address/demonstrate the use of specific pedagogical techniques.
the symposium will be offered in conjunction with the ithaca college northeast wind conducting symposium. the symposium wind ensemble, along with the local high school band will be used in lab situations throughout the week.
open session roundtable discussions aimed at coordinating research and practice will infuse the week.
it is hoped that a sourcebook will be published that delineates the sessions on the philosophy and strategy for instrumental music education in the schools based on this symposium.
clinicians tba – there will be a call for papers along with invitations to great teachers identified by both cbdna and imte for their direct involvement.
in addition to the above, the schedule will include addressing the concept of instrumental music education in which band and orchestra are components. there will be discussions on instrumentation and how to make it possible to expand student participation. invitations will be extended to publishers and composers because they have the influence to determine what happens.
