🗒 Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Conference
I am getting a head start on the weekend and am posing my session notes for my seventh and FINAL music conference this school year. I am thrilled to have been invited to present at the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Conference this weekend. My session is this coming Friday at 8:30 am in the Heritage A room. Here are the session notes for my presentation, Working with Digital Scores.
🗒 Road Trip!!! Off to the Tennessee Music Educators Association Conference!
I am pumped to be spending the next four days in Nashville to present at the Tennessee Music Educators Association Conference. I am presenting three sessions tomorrow, Friday, April 13th. One of these sessions is brand new and focused entirely on teaching intonation to student musicians with the support of the Tonal Energy tuning app. Scroll down for links to all of my session notes.
Road Trip!!!
My wife and I are making a road trip out of this event. In addition to eating and drinking our way through the city over the next few days, I am excited to be seeing old friends and new. Tomorrow night we will be seeing the Nashville Symphony Orchestra performing a program of Elgar, Mozart, and Bach. I will get to watch a friend of mine from grad school, Joshua Hickman (Principal Timpanist), performing with the ensemble.
I will also get to meet friend, Craig McClellan, in person for the first time. Craig has an awesome education/technology blog called The Class Nerd and has been a recent regular on my podcast. (Listen here and here).
Craig and I may or may not have a very special project we are cooking up for teachers later this year...

🗒 MMEA Session Notes
Thrilled to be back at the MMEA Conference this weekend. I am presenting my session, "Become a Mac Power User," today at 4:25 pm in room 306. Tomorrow, I am joined by my colleague, Ben Denne, as we direct the Ellicott Mills Middle School Symphony Orchestra at 12:50 pm.
Here are the session notes for "Becoming a Mac Power User"...
View notes for "Become a Mac Power User" (OmniOutliner | PDF)
I made the notes using the OmniGroup’s incredible outlining app, OmniOutliner. You can download their app for free here to open the outline (in read-only mode) in all its hierarchical glory. Or, you can simply download the PDF (its way less pretty and interactive though). It is worth mentioning that Omni also has a new 10 dollar "Essentials" version of OmniOutliner if you like what you see and want to create your own.
I am also excited to announce that my sessions are supported by both Sanebox and Hazel. Those who attend my sessions this weekend will get a 15 dollar credit towards Sanebox, in addition to their existing 14 day free trial. Sanebox, for those who do not know, is an essential service for filtering and organizing email. Two members of each session will get a free software code to download Noodlesoft’s powerful app, Hazel (32 dollar value), which automates the organization of files on your Mac’s hard drive.
🗒 TMEA Session Notes - “Digital Organization Tips for Music Teachers” and “Working with Digital Scores”
I am thrilled to be presenting at TMEA again this year. Both of my sessions, “Digital Organization Tips for Music Teachers” and “Working with Digital Scores” will be taking place on February 17th, at 8 am and 11 am, respectively.
Here are the session notes:

The session notes to the first two sessions come in the format of a live Evernote note. These are living documents that can be clipped into your own Evernote account, or simply viewed on the web. If I update them from my end, the edits will be reflected, real time, on your device.
The notes for my new session are a little longer, so I made them using the OmniGroup’s incredible outlining app, OmniOutliner. You can download their app for free here to open the outline (in read-only mode) in all its hierarchical glory. Or, you can simply download the Word version (its way less pretty and interactive though).
