Promoting Music Education: A Session on Music Advocacy
During the podcast episode, a session on music advocacy at the NAMM trade show is discussed. The session focuses on how to communicate the value of music education to parents and the community, as well as how to advocate for music programs in schools. The importance of making music education more visible to the general public is emphasized.
Exploring Innovations in Music Education
The podcast episode highlights the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) trade show, which showcases various innovations in music education. The session explores how educators can network and collaborate with others in the industry, as well as learn about new tools and resources that can enhance music programs.
Creative Warm-ups: 30 Purple Birds
One of the hosts shares a warm-up called "30 Purple Birds", which is a fun and engaging way to warm up the choir or vocal students. The warm-up can be adjusted to incorporate different accents or vocal effects, and it can also be adapted for instrumental warm-ups involving movement and articulation exercises.
Expanding Perspectives: Music Education Beyond Recorder
The podcast episode discusses the need to expand perspectives on music education beyond the traditional focus on recorders or specific instruments. The hosts express the importance of showcasing the variety and diversity of music programs, and how to make music education more visible and valued by the general population.
AI Bias and Equity in Technology
A discussion arises on the bias and equity issues in technology, particularly in AI algorithms. The hosts talk about how AI can be unintentionally biased, leading to disparities and unfairness in areas such as voice recognition software or self-driving cars. They also touch upon the importance of addressing equity in AI and technology development.
This has been a busy week for us! Jon produced the CVESD VAPA Festival with a record 26 schools participating this year. We celebrated elementary bands, choirs, orchestras, Orff ensembles, theater groups, dance groups, digital arts classes, and visual art programs on all across the district. Crystal was sponsored by Save the Music to attend NAMM in Anaheim. We unpack what we learned from both events and what we'd like to see improve in future years.
