From the President…

Welcome to the beautiful Broadmoor Hotel and the 2018 Colorado Music Educators
Clinic/Conference! I’m very pleased that you have joined us for our annual
gathering. The 2018 Conference marks our 74th year at the Broadmoor. The CMEA
Clinic/Conference is the Broadmoor’s longest running conference. The CMEA
Conference is truly one of my favorite events of the year, and has been for my entire
career. We gather here to share, learn, celebrate, and relax with our peers from
around the state. YOU are important to our organization, and your presence here
makes all of us better educators. I hope you will share your experience while you
gain ideas from others.

The CMEA State Assembly has been planning this conference for nearly seven months, beginning with our
June meeting. Council Chairs and Chairs-Elect have been hard at work since that time to build the schedule
contained in this program. Special thanks goes to the Executive Board and Bill Kohut (Operations Director),
Council Chairs and Chairs-Elect, Margie Camp (Communications Manager), Ken Anderson (Exhibits), Tom
Bruszewski (Equipment), Michelle Ewer (Tri-M), Mark Montemayor (Research), Carla Aguilar (Advocacy),
Samantha Davis (CAMCI), Michael Vallez (Technology), and Andrea Meyers (Retired Membership), as each
has contributed much effort and long hours to bring you this annual event. I also want to thank JW Pepper
and Colorado Butter Braid for their continued support through sponsorship. These and many others make our
conference so incredible. Please take the time to thank these individuals for their time, service, and hard work!

Our Wednesday opportunities continue to grow each year. Hundreds of middle and high school Tri-M students
gather for the day to learn and be inspired. A huge thanks to Michelle Ewer for her tireless efforts in making this
day one that will inspire our future music educators.

The conference begins in earnest on Thursday morning, preceeded by some Wednesday evening events. We will
honor and recognize award winners for Outstanding Young Music Educator, Advocacy, Honor Administrator,
and Exemplary Service to Music Education. I am very pleased that “Dr. Tim” Lautzenheiser returns to our
conference as our Keynote Speaker. As always, his address will be delivered during our opening session. Be sure
to catch his clinic immediately following our opening. Finally, after a first day full of music, learning, exhibits,
and friends, the day culminates with the Exhibits Reception and the President’s Concert. We will induct the
newest members of the CMEA Hall of Fame, followed by an incredible performance of our special guest artists,
the United States Air Force Academy Concert Band...and that’s only the first day!

Throughout the conference, CMEA has provided each of us with something. Unfortunately, you won’t be able
to do it all. As our conference concludes Saturday afternoon with performances by the Colorado All-State
Jazz Choirs, the All-State Jazz Bands and the All-State Elementary Choir performances, you’ll feel refreshed,
reinvigorated, and excited to return to your students. I hope that you will seek me out to introduce yourself, or
simply take a moment to chat as we experience the 2018 Clinic/Conference together. Thank you for being here,
and thank you for what you bring to our profession.

I Methods for Teaching and Practicing Jazz Vocabulary
G General Paul Zaborac, Clinician
Music Council Presiding: Nick Hinman, IMC District 1 Representative
(GMC) This session examines methods for teaching jazz vocabulary for use
in improvisation. It is generally understood that students should
I Instrumental learn musical and jazz vocabulary, such as chords, scales, licks, pat-
terns, etc., in order to be effective improvisers. However, how this
Music Council vocabulary is practiced is just as important as what is practiced, as
(IMC) oftentimes what students have learned does not readily translate into
their playing or is not meaningfully applied. This presentation ex-
R Retired amines four methods for helping students effectively learn and apply
Sessions jazz vocabulary: 1) transposition, 2) reordering or recombination,
3) development, and 4) modeling. The rationale and implications of
T Technology each of these methods will be discussed and demonstrated by the
Sessions presenter. Furthermore, considerations for how these methods may

are some bowings better than others? Why are students missing

Chair
Music of the Baroque era represents the Golden Age of string
playing. All beginning and intermediate string players learn Ba-
roque solos and perform Baroque string orchestra repertoire. But
contemporary string teaching and playing – with emphasis on
heavy marcato eighth notes and legato-in-the-string sixteenths
– often neglects or ignores those very stylistic, aesthetic, and
historical practices that make the Baroque compelling, both to
students and audiences. Dr. Dabczynski will demonstrate insights
and creative teaching approaches that can transform the perfor-
mance of beginning and intermediate string programs. Bring an

ture. Most standard repertoire for high school bands are written
by white men; the 2009 Midwest clinic on core repertoire for high
school band listed just 2 out of 81 works by female composers, and
none were by black or Latino composers. While most band directors
do not focus on composers, this session suggests that taking class
time to discuss the historical and personal background of compos-
ers can help foster identity development for students. Not only does
the discussion of a composer’s history place a piece of music in time,
place and culture, but allows students to see each musical piece they
play as a distinct work of art by an individual. This session explores
how discussing the individuality of composers might help students Meal Options
find their own musical and personal identity. The session also argues
for including more works by female and minority composers in sec- Breakfast

Chris Nadeau, Clinician
Presiding: Casey Cropp, IMC Chair
Finding ways to keep a percussion section actively engaged and
motivated to practice regularly can be a challenge. The aim of this
clinic is to show directors new ways to craft percussion exercises and
practice curriculum by utilizing certain software technologies from
both teacher and student roles. One side of the discussion revolves
around using known software, such as Sibelius and Virtual Drum
Line, to create listening tracks to help students learn and feel more
comfortable with their own parts in ensembles, shows, and exer-
cises. Another focus is on software such as Garage Band and how to
create play along tracks that can be used to supplement metronome
practice for both drum and keyboard percussion. The final side of
the discussion is how to use cellphone and tablet based apps that are
easily accessible by students, with the ultimate goal of practice feel-
ing more encouraging and enjoyable. The clinic will be supported
Key with additional information via handouts that list pros and cons of
several different software applications that can be used in and out of

Showcase The BaDahs Woodwind Fingering Trainer: Cleaning woodwind Thursday
technique through improved multiple finger coordination Afternoon
Gary Moody, Professor of Bassoon, Clinician
Presiding: Ken Anderson, CMEA Exhibits/Awards Manager Registration Hours
Sponsored by: Colorado State University 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
The challenge of coordinating multiple fingers is a well known issue
for musicians performing on woodwind instruments. This problem,
sometimes labeled “Flip-flops,” “Bloops” or the onomatopoeic “Ba- Exhibit Hours
Dah, “ simulates the extra third note present when moving between Noon - 6:30 p.m.
a pair of notes that requires moving multiple fingers simultaneously.
Eliminating these sounds leads to much cleaner and articulate per-
formance. The newly-developed BaDah Fingering Trainer, created
by CSU Professor Gary Moody with support from CSU Ventures,
provides actual timings of the fingers and can provide the student
with objective data about the exact coordination (and miscoordina-
tion) of the fingers - along with tendencies where fingers are gener-
ally the source of any problem. Once these tendencies are better-
understood, the road to cleaner technique is greatly shortened.

We have all seen it. You have 20 students begging you to play the
saxophone while no one is interested in the tuba. This session will
give you useful tips for how to find and encourage student passion
not only for the tuba, but for the trombone and the baritone as well.
Topics to be discussed include: instrument try-out nights, how to
“sell” the low brass instruments to both your students and their par-
ents, ways to encourage low brass musicians once they have chosen
the path to righteousness, and how to make these instruments work
ergonomically for students of various sizes. Come and have your
recruiting and retention questions answered by a passionate tuba
player who has been playing since she was in the 4th grade. It is
never too early to start your students on a low brass instrument!

I Of Course You Can Teach Strings! Strategies for New String
Teachers
Andrew Dabczynski, Clinician
Presiding: Rebecca Jonas, Colorado ASTA President
Sponsored by: Alfred Publishing Company
With the national shortage of string teachers, some veteran music
educators suddenly find themselves teaching strings for the first
time. Others unexpectedly may be assigned to teach a different level
of strings. For many of these teachers, years may have passed since
that last string methods class! This session will provide clear and
“do-able” teaching strategies for all string teachers - and particularly
Key those who aren’t string players. Approaches to teaching beginning
skills, intermediate techniques, fiddling, identification of resources,
G General and other issues will be discussed. Bring an instrument-- and
Music Council concerns specific to your own situation -- and join in! Teachers
(GMC) will receive free string teaching materials from Alfred Publishing
Company.

These two actions are often left to chance and occasion. There
are, however, skills we can train our singers to use to make these
actions intentional rather than accidental. Given the opportu-
nity, most young singers will want to “sing better”. Let’s provide
some tools for them to utilize and then expect them to use those
tools every time they sing.

Since jazz participation is often not a required part of teacher

participation in traditional jazz ensembles, many feel unprepared to
incorporate jazz into their programs. This presentation is designed
for “non-jazzers” as an overview of basic jazz concepts and basic
tools for teaching: (a) styles such as Swing, Latin, Bop, and Blues; (b)
rhythmic solfège; (c) articulation; (d) ornamentation; (e) improvi-
sation; (f) intricacies of the rhythm section; and (g) rehearsal and
stage setup of the beginning jazz band. The presentation includes
audio-visual excerpts of a middle school jazz band rehearsal under
my direction as well as jazz teaching resources.

While that model works for many students, we are wondering if

Council (VMC) student in our schools. How can CMEA begin to champion all
types of vocal music programs happening throughout the state?
How will we showcase relevant innovative practices in our field

panel of educators who creatively work outside of the traditional
choral model. Come hear their ideas and share your own. Edu-
cators in a variety of circumstances (small schools, urban schools,

Nathan East
Depends on Yamaha.
“When I'm looking for that ‘Upright’ sound, I reach

for my Silent Bass. The sound quality is rich and

full and the feel is very comfortable. In my arsenal

of basses, my SVB-200 has become an important

instrument for live gigs as well as in the studio.”

-Nathan East, Renowned Bass Artist
