8:45-9:00 Registration
9:00-10:15 Getting Them on Your Side: Today’s Piano Parents
Are you ever frustrated with the parents of some students? Come explore how to positively engage and collaborate with modern parents to ensure their child’s success. Concrete strategies are given for today’s typical obstacles.
10:15-10:30 Break
10:30-11:45 Improving Your Teaching Effectiveness
All teachers agree that we do not have enough time with our students, and that we must use creative teaching techniques to maximize every precious minute. Music education research reveals methods in which our lesson time can be more efficient and productive. With video footage and live demonstration, Sara Ernst will explore a lesson planning and teaching method that can be incorporated into your lessons immediately, improving the quality, efficiency, and musicality of each lesson.
12:00-12:45 Potluck Lunch
12:45-2:00 Choose Those Words Carefully—Perfecting Your Teaching Language
The Question, the Statement, and the Assessment: skillful use of these three powerful modes of communication is a cornerstone of great teaching. Music teachers are encouraged to limit verbal instructions in favor of demonstration and discovery, and to talk less and play more during the lesson. Teachers are therefore faced with the task of choosing their few words carefully. Each mode of communication is examined through analysis of common lesson scenarios, and best practices and common pitfalls of teaching will be identified.
25 [Sat] 9am/10:30am+ The Missouri Federated Music Clubs Fall Meeting. "The MFMC Fall Planning Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August 25th in the Dorsey Chapel on the Columbia College campus in Columbia Missouri. The state board will meet at 9 a.m. with the general meeting for all beginning at 10:30 a.m. The meeting should finish by 4 p.m at the latest.
