MANITOBA MUSIC CONFERENCE
Winnipeg, Manitoba, CA
October 18-19, 2018
Sponsored by AMAM and the Music Achievement Council
Session 1: LEADING CHANGE IN MUSIC EDUCATION IN MANITOBA
The focus of this half-day workshop is to share with leaders how they might be able to work with constituents to establish a district-wide or association-wide vision for the Music Department/Cadre, etc., that will lead all to discover their role as "team members" whose job is to lead students to a life-long relationship with music-making. Sessions will include strategies on how to engage teachers, colleagues, etc., to move toward the development of action strategies and goals for supporting the unified vision. Complimentary flash drives containing Building Your Music Program: A Practical Guide for Recruitment; Tips for Success: A Guide for Instrumental Music Teachers; and Bridging the Gap Between Middle School and High School: Tips for Ensuring a Seamless Instrumental Music Education Experience will be provided by the Music Achievement Council.
Keynote: ONE IS TOO SMALL A NUMBER TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING GREAT!
From the custodian who sets up chairs for the Open House performance, to the engineer who turns on the lights in the football stadium, to the counselor who helps to finagle a student schedule in order for him to participate, to the parent who agrees to greet participants at the venue with extra uniform pieces, to the principal who agrees to introduce the ensemble at the concert and everyone else in between, reaching out to others is the ONLY way to achieve something great. We must ALL work together as ONE TEAM and surround ourselves with those who CARE to help us achieve our goal—to guarantee success for EVERY student in the music program.
Session 2: BUILDING YOUR MUSIC PROGRAM: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
Based on "best practices" from highly successful instrumental music educators, the Music Achievement Council has compiled several tools that cover every aspect of recruiting and retaining instrumental music students. Because it covers the fundamentals in great detail, this information is great for new teachers, young teachers or even experienced teachers. It not only provides sample forms and letters that are ready-to-use, but also shares retention ideas that can be implemented at any stage of the school year. Copies of this book will be provided to all attendees loaded onto complimentary flash drives provided by the Music Achievement Council.
