Beyond Measure Seven: Lessons That Linger

Clinic Synopsis:

Public schools need open-ended, multi-stylistic music ed. Using a demo group, the clinician will model "ALL IN," an educational initiative which treats music, not limited to classical music, as irreducible, valid, & worthy of exploration. The “band room” becomes the music room, a gateway to musical possibilities. Accepting the musical values of the iPod generation as a point of departure, the teacher can introduce myriad forms of musical performance, composition, and improvisation.
