Lori Ardovino, HED President
Greetings Music Educators,
Many thanks to those of you who teach the students who participated in
the All-State Ensembles. We are fortunate to have these dedicated and
talented students that are motivated to make wonderful music. This is
all due to the skillful teaching of their directors and to their private
instructors. You are their incentive and inspiration.
As we wind down this spring semester, many of you will be involved with
summer teaching and research projects. In the planning of your projects,
don’t forget that it is not too early to be thinking about the 2014 AMEA
Conference.
The Call for Sessions, Performance Applications and Lobby Performance
applications are now available on the AMEA website. Deadline for
submitting proposals for the 2014 AMEA Conference is June 1. I highly
encourage everyone to submit proposals in all areas. Last year we were
represented very well and it would fantastic to see even more
participation by the Higher Education Division. Please remember that in
order to submit a proposal for a session or performance, the clinician
must be a member of NAfME/AMEA. In addition to sessions and
performances, please consider submitting a poster for the Poster
Session. Dr. Jane Kuehne, Auburn University will once again head up this
Call for Posters. The Higher Education Recital was a success this past
year with more attendance than usual. I will be coordinating this
recital so if you are interested, please contact me via email with your
proposal.
At the end of this year, there will be openings for President,
President-Elect, and Secretary/Treasurer positions in the Higher
Education Division. There will be a scheduled business meeting at the
2014 Conference so we may elect new officers. If you are interested and
would like to be considered for an office, please email your interest in
serving or if you know of someone who would make a great representative
for the division, please submit their name. My address is
ardovinl@montevallo.edu. Please consider serving as an officer.
Have a productive and enriching summer!
