Modern Music for the Modern Student
Nashville Room
Clinician: Dr. Armand Hall (University of Memphis) & Dr. Leah McGray (Rhodes College)
Programming experimental and non-traditional music is often a challenge for the school band
and orchestra conductor. Performing music that encourages composition through the use of
non-traditional notation, develops individual musicianship through improvisation, or creates
student engagement through the integration of technology fosters higher-order thinking in the
student musician. This session will sample repertoire from a variety of levels, highlighting
elements of graphic notation, aleatory music, found percussion, improvisation, electroacoustic
treatments, and minimalist techniques. Suggestions of score preparation and pedagogic
strategies will assist educators in maximizing their student's performance of "the music of now.”
3:15 PM
The Trombonist's Toolbox: Essential Skills for the Developing Trombonist
Nashville Room
Clinician: Dr. Joseph W. Frye (University of Tennessee at Martin)
This session will deal with identifying and understanding key fundamental skills that students and
directors should be establishing and developing in order to improve trombone performance in
individual and ensemble settings. The session will also provide suggestions regarding
implementation of the toolbox and provide observations about common deficiencies observed
in many first-year university students.

Powerful Stuff: Techniques of Charismatic Conducting
Nashville Room
Clinician: Dr. Leah McGray (Rhodes College)
The effectiveness of a conductor is often dependent on their natural ability to create a
charismatic presence. Charismatic leaders connect and respond quickly with others, display
personal strength of will, and inspire people higher levels of thinking and performance, which
are also the characteristics of exceptional conductors and educators. While it has long been
believed that personal charisma is an inherited and fixed quantity, current research have
identified traits and behaviors that increase an individual’s perceived charisma and power. This
paper will provide a summary of these traits, and draw correlations between the strategies
designed for management training and the techniques used to create gestures of musical
meaning. Conductors for any level of experience or group will be able to apply these strategies
to increase the effectiveness of their presence on the podium by tapping in to one’s authentic
self, and utilize physical posture and non-verbal communication to create greater
responsiveness from your performing ensemble.
10:00 AM
Empathizing With Your Percussionists
We would like to congratulate the students who made All-West and continue the tradition of 30 Years of Excellence and
Opportunities made possible through Bellevue’s School of Performing Arts.
Nashville Room
Clinician: Ryan Wilkerson (Henry County High School)
The session will focus mostly on the beginning percussionists, but everything will be applicable to
middle school and high school. There are reasons other than "not counting," "not practicing," or
"lazy technique" that could be holding your percussionists back. We will explore these reasons
as they relate to snare drum rolls, correct stickings, sight-reading mallet music, subdividing, and
more. Wilkerson will cover SIMPLE things you can do on a daily basis that will make a big impact
with your students and how to rewrite percussion music to improve the quality of life for yourself
and your students.
