If you teach with technology, and your students compose, arrange or make cool projects, plan to attend the 7th Annual NJ Student Music Tech Expo. This is a student-centered event features exhibits of adjudicated student works, as well as hands-on workshops and performances. Teachers are needed to help make this event possible, so please email me if you are willing to join the Expo committee and can spare an hour of time here and there. Mark your calendar now: Expo North will be held on Monday, May 15, 2017 at Rutgers, and the Expo South will be on Thursday, May 18, 2017 at Rowan. Registration details will be announced in February.
Do you use technology in your classroom? Got a great unit or lesson idea? Please share your expertise! Contact me about authoring an article for TEMPO--I’ ll be happy to help if you are nervous about putting your ideas into print. Also, consider presenting at the NJMEA Summer Workshop in August 2017. Fresh ideas and faces are always welcome at this low-key gathering.
