This past May I had the privilege of performing in our local community theatre’s production of the beloved classic The Sound of Music. It was a joy to make music in front of a live audience again! A well-known song in the musical is My Favorite Things, and I would like to write a parody of all that you will learn while attending this fall’s professional development conference (Please note, it will be more enjoyable if you sing along as you read):
My Favorite Things...about the IMEA Conference
Kodály, Dalcroze, and Orff-Schulwerk methodologies,
Diverse programming, and ethnomusicology,
Play parties, folk dances, lullabies to sing,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Software, assessment, and a live choir demonstration,
Project-based learning and improvisation,
Conducting and percussion instruments that ring,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Rehearsal strategies and music psychology,
ESSER funds, advocacy, and vocology,
Tracks for collegiate, choral, band, and strings,
These are a few of my favorite things!
Writing sub plans, cold weather driving,when I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so bad!
From our website (www.iamea.org) you can access the conference schedule, registration (including Friday’s catered lunch and Saturday’s box lunch), and descriptions of all sessions. Our conference team has provided a quality professional development conference designed for all levels of music educators. Come and experience your favorite things at this fall’s conference!
