What if your students had the same or higher standards for themselves as you do?

Neil Yorke-Slader - Presented in partnership with Musicfest Canada
The "Icing On The Cake" Take your jazz ensemble to the next levele
How do you put the "icing on the cake" with your jazz ensemble? How do you take them that final 20%? Neil will demonstrate a few key fundamentals that will ensure your jazz ensemble plays with consistency of style and musicality. Contemporary rehearsal techniques should develop student curiosity, experimentation, and decision-making in their journey towards musical excellence. Although Neil will demonstrate these techniques using a school jazz ensemble, these techniques are equally applicable in a concert band or choral setting. Teaching in the 21st century is about collaboration with students, learning together, and recognizing elements such as student engagement, the personalization of student learning, and creative thinking as tools to optimize student success. No longer can an ensemble director simply utilize students as artisans to create musical performances based on his/her own artistry.

Using Technology in the Instrumental Classroom to Teach Essential Music Skills
Incorporating technology in the instrumental classroom can be exciting for some, and daunting for others; but in today’s schools, the demand and need for that technology is ever-present. While sound instrumental pedagogy, thorough preparation, and excellent teaching practices are essential to great teaching, the proper incorporation of the right technology in the right manner can enhance each of these areas. The result is a more engaging teaching environment and a more effective method of helping students discover their love and enjoyment of music.
This clinic will provide real world examples on the incorporation of technology in teaching instrumental pedagogy, music theory, ear-training, intonation, and much more. Whether you are a tech guru or novice, this clinic will demonstrate some simple ways to let technology work for teachers and students.
