Date: Wed, Sep 13, 2017 at 4:04 PM Subject: Please send out To: Rachel Lake <[email protected]> Good Afternoon SWWMEA Elementary Music Teachers, I would like to encourage you to come to the SWWMEA meeting on Monday!! I have a few exciting announcements about workshops that are available in the near future and I would like to chat with you about what kind of professional development or teaching support you would like to see come from your SWWMEA community. I am so happy that the pink lists that I handed out in the Spring were helpful, but I want to know what else you are looking for! Elementary attendance to our meetings has been very weak in the past, and I would love to see how we can grow together as teachers! If you have any questions or suggestions for this coming year and you are unable to make it to the meeting on the 18th, please send me an email at [email protected]. Hope to see you all soon! PS: Upcoming Orff and ACDA Combo Workshop in Bellingham, WA on 9/30/17 Attached is the registration form if you would like to mail it in, or you can follow the link and register online. The title of the workshop is "Off the Risers: Orff in the Choral Classroom" http://evergreenorffchapter.com/workshops.htm#october Lauren Hays SWWMEA Elementary Music Rep. Hi Everyone,
By now your school year has begun and it is time to start planning for the 15th annual SWWMEA Elementary Honor Choir Festival which will be held on March 17, 2018. It will be directed by Julie Parsons, President of Washington American Choral Directors Association. Any general music, choral, band, or orchestra student in the 5th or 6th grade recommended by you, their music teacher, is eligible. Attached you will find the 2018 SWWMEA Elementary Honor Choir information letter and application form. If there are any new (or returning) music teachers in your district who should see this information, please forward it to them, and send us their contact info. Because we want to be certain that all schools are informed of this Honor Choir opportunity, we are requesting that all music teachers of 5th and 6th grade students please respond to this email with a reply to Ginger Walworth at: [email protected] Please reply to this email as soon as you can, letting us know if your school will, or will not be participating this year. Every year, some teachers indicate their school will participate, but later back out. Reply in the positive ONLY if you and your students will participate. The following deadlines must be met if you and your students are planning to participate. 1. Monday, Oct. 9, 2017 - send Ginger Walworth regrets or the grade level enrollment figures for all 5th and/or 6th grades for your school, NOT JUST YOUR PROGRAM. Do not include both grades if you only teach one of them. NOTE: You can get this info from your school secretary. No student names are necessary at this time. If you respond in the affirmative, your school will be billed. Quotas for each school are created and eventually parts will be assigned with the expectation that your school will be represented. 2. Monday, Oct. 16, 2017 - Ginger will send each participating teacher the quota of students for their school. If you anticipate a need for a larger quota for your school, immediately reply to Ginger with the number of additional spots needed. 3. Monday, Nov. 13 – Billing Deadline. You must let us know via email by this date if you are NOT using your entire quota of participating students, or your school will be invoiced for the number of students represented by the quota number sent to you in October. 4. Tuesday, Nov. 14, unused quota numbers will be re-assigned to schools requesting larger participation than their original quota. 5. Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2017 - all completed applications must be sent to Ron Joslin. This includes all required signatures. Upon receipt of your applications, Ron will generate an invoice and send it to you for processing. If parents are charged for this event they must submit the money to your district or parent organization. Ginger Walworth, Co-Chair Ron Joslin, Co-Chair Hello Region Presidents! It’s that time---asking for my first favor of the year. Please share with all teachers, all levels, that our 2018 All-State audition and application window has opened (three days early---woo hoo!) Please don’t forget those teachers new to your region, especially our first year colleagues. Information can be accessed via our main page headline, top of screen, at www.wmea.org or within the Student Events tab.
Important Changes this year!! While the ability to upload mp3 files remains, we have also added the ability to record “live” directly into a computer. A step-by-step tutorial has been provided online. Please note that all uploaded recordings must be in mp3 format. This is “Set C” year for high school large group audition materials. Also, High School Voice applicants have two new required tracks (5 & 6), the Chorale Part Singing and Sight Singing. Those both must be recorded “LIVE” and a step-by-step guide has been provided for both. There is a built in opportunity to “TEST” those tracks as many times as teachers would like. All are strongly encouraged to do so, early and often. Everyone----please enter the site EARLY (now?) and OFTEN to ensure your ability to access the site. Complete your teacher profile by entering your cell phone and the email address you want all future communications and notifications to be sent to. Thanks!! Bruce Gutgesell Student Events and Continuing Education Coordinator Washington Music Educators Association PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW ADDRESS BELOW: 19105 36th Ave W. Suite 213 Lynnwood WA 98036 |
