Greetings to all Music Teachers! KMTA, MTNA and
your local association join to provide inspiring, invigorating, and professional enhancing activities and events
this Fall of 2003 and the Spring of 2004.
locale and attend. Your professional acumen and
teaching will be affected for years to come from all the
National Conference has to offer. Plan now to attend.
The KMTA board has been working for the best interest of this fine organization. At the last meeting on
October 30 several action items were discussed, debated and voted upon. Some of the changes in policy
are listed.
The Tri-State (Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska) Conference offered a wide variety of teaching ideas and
techniques by nationally, regionally and locally recognized pedagogues, performers, and music industry
representatives. Members from all three states dedicated an uncountable number of hours and an immeasurable amount of talent to make this event a success.
Congratulations to all and thanks to all who contributed
to the Tri-State conference. It was truly an exciting
weekend; one which I will not forget. If you were not
able to attend, visit with someone who
did and learn of their first hand experience.
The Local Associations and Collegiate Chapters have
an opportunity to enhance their projects with a minigrant. Seventeen hundred KMTA sponsored dollars
are available to distribute to these affiliated
associations/chapters. Every association/chapter applying will receive a minimum
$100 award, any money left over
can then be distributed at the
committee’s
discretion.
Associations/Chapters will be notified following the Fall Board Meeting.
Each association/chapter
should plan to participate in this
program next year. The money is
waiting to support the excellent programs your association/chapter provide.
The 2003 KMTA State Honors Auditions and Collegiate Auditions were
held November 15th and 16th respectively. The University of Kansas ably
hosted the event in Lawrence, Kansas.
David Tauscher and Shiao-Li Ding
ran and organized the largest State
Auditions to date. As always, the
auditions ran smoothly under their
leadership. The excitement and determination visible on the participants
faces as they anticipate the audition
for which they have practiced so diligently makes this event worthwhile.
For a more professional look, new
brochures will be designed and
printed for publicity/membership
and for advocacy of music study.
Several other items can be found in
the minutes presented in this issue of the “Update.”
Thank you to all the board members who gave their
time and energy to the organization during this board
meeting.
Thank you again to Capital Federal Savings for their
wonderful financial support of this event. A total of
$2,500 is distributed among several winners to help
defray costs of preparing for the state auditions and
representing KMTA at the division and hopefully the
national MTNA auditions. KMTA appreciates this
financial institution’s yearly support of music study.
Have a wonderful inspiring beginning to your 2004
teaching year. Look to KMTA and MTNA to help you
achieve the highest quality of music teaching you are
able to provide for your community.
The 2004 Music Progressions are available for you and
your students in the Spring. Check this edition of the
“Update” and your local association for the dates in
your area. Remember Music Progressions is a comprehensive music program designed to evaluate all students. Enroll as many of your students as possible.
Sincerely,
Tim Shook, President

IMTF UPDATE
Greetings Independent Music Teachers!
What could possibly be better than the
Tri-State Conference held in Kansas
City October 31-November 1? Well,
take a look and mark your calendars
quickly for the upcoming Music Teachers National Conference to be held in
Kansas City, Missouri, March 27-31,
2004. PEDAGOGY SATURDAY VIII,
Teaching for Independence: Creating
Lifelong Musicians is at the top of the
list! Professional Studio Saturday is another exciting possibility. If you missed
the IMTF luncheon at the Tri-State Conference, Gary Ingle shared there will be
a Free Studio Makeover awarded to an
Independent Music Teacher at the National Conference. Entries must be postmarked no later than January 15, 2004.
Personally, I am very excited about
Barry Green as the keynote speaker.
Barry is the author of The Inner Game of
Music, a book well worth reading, if you
have not done so. Bobby Watson will
once again be on hand as a featured
performer. For those of you who sat in
on the fabulous panel discussion, Improvisation Verses Interpretation at TriState, know first hand that Bobby Watson is profound, inspirational and graced
with humor. If you sat in on his Saturday
session, you know he is a gifted and
inspired jazz musician in addition. Well,
the list goes on, and hopefully you have
already registered for the upcoming
March National Conference. If not do so.
It promises to be the afterglow of the
Tri-State Conference.
Meanwhile, you’ll want to also be tuned
into the February 26-28 KMEA/KMTA
Convention in Wichita. Daniel J. Masterson is the Liaison between
KMTA/KMEA. Dan has been working
very hard to promote advocating for one
another. I encourage you to be aware of
ways we as Independent Music Teachers
can work with Public Education. There
are many rewards in store for your students and also for you. Doug Talley is a
public educator with the Shawnee Mission School District, Jazz Artist and Clinician and loaned several of his CDs for
our Tri-State IMTF Luncheon. As a
friend and colleague, he was an advocate
for me and in turn, I am an advocate for
KMTA Mission Statement
all he does for the profession of music
education and performing. Some of you
did catch me after the luncheon to inquire as to how to get his CDs. For those
of you who did not, contact him personally at [email protected] or you
may
also
contact
me
at
[email protected]. The CDs
were Kansas City Suite, Night and Day
and Town Topic. Borders Books and
Music Store also carry his CDs.
Finally, many thanks to all who worked
so creatively and artistically to make for
such a inspired Tri-State Conference. I
was truly blessed by the wonderful
IMTF Luncheon table hosts/hostesses,
who lead the table conversations on
Foundation, Advocacy, and Certification. Each Independent Music Teacher
was a blessing as experiences and creative ideas were shared in great fellowship, and ALL THAT JAZZ!

Thanks for Coming to Kansas City
Linda Featherston, President-Elect
What an exciting year it has
been for KMTA. Thanks to all of
you who made it to Kansas City
for the Tri-State Conference. As
always, it was wonderful seeing
old friends and making new. Conferences are such a great time for
professional and personal growth.
Each new idea I pick up from a
session or a talk with a colleague
helps me as a teacher and a person.
I hope to see you all back in Kansas
City in March for the MTNA National Conference. I’ve only made
it to one national conference, but I
promise you that it’s worth every
penny.
On a different note, thanks to all
of you who returned the membership surveys that were included in
the last Update. Thanks to the
local associations that were kind
enough to bring the surveys to a
local meeting. It’s that kind of
local action that keeps KMTA a
vital organization. It’s still not too
late to send in surveys to me via
regular or e-mail.

Music Progressions
A Comprehensive Musicianship Program
submitted by Keturah Lawrence
Music Progressions is designed to be a suggested curriculum of independent music study for the members of KMTA and
their students. This curriculum is coupled with an annual test sponsored by KMTA local associations and/or groups of KMTA
teachers.
This noncompetitive program consists of ten progressive levels. Each level requires proficiency in performance, music
terminology, rhythm and pulse development, sight-playing, scales, written theory, and ear-training. Students may enter any level.
Participation is not based on year in school or years of music study. The test provides a music event evaluating the progressive
growth of ALL students – those studying music as a hobby as well as those aspiring to enter the music world professionally.
A new Music Progressions Resource Handbook has been created by Wendy Stevens & Keturah Lawrence to enhance
the Music Progressions curriculum. All activities and worksheets provided in the resource handbook are 100% reproducible so
that teachers may use them to prepare students for the Music Progressions testing event. Effective January 1, 2004 the price of
the resource handbook will increase to $12 to cover shipping/handling costs. With over 90 reproducible pages of valuable
teaching ideas from multiple KMTA teachers, it’s an inexpensive resource that you will use over & over again with your students.
Music Progressions resources may be ordered through Pat Ziegelmeier, 2154 County Road 27, Gem, KS 67734. Please
make checks payable to KMTA.

A Message From Your Vice President of Auditions
Congratulations to all students
and teachers who participated in the
2003 Fall District Auditions and
KMTA Honors Auditions held in
Lawrence. Karen Schlabaugh and
myself wish to thank the University
of Kansas and Jack Winerock and
all the teachers for their help to
make this another successful year.
Please join us this fall at Wichita State University,
November 13 and 14, 2004. If you have never participated in the Fall Audition program, this would be the
year to start! Please contact me if you have any
questions or concerns about the auditions. Look for
applications and information on the website
KSMTA.ORG and in the summer KMTA UPDATE.
Also mark your calendar for 2005! Pittsburg will host
the auditions on November 12-13, 2005.

Music Teachers National Association
Joins SupportMusic.com Initiative to Keep Music in Schools
CINCINNATI, OHIO (August 2003)—Music Teachers National Association, an association of 24,000
independent and collegiate music teachers committed
to advancing the value of music study and music making to society, has joined the Music Education Coalition in its massive initiative to help parents and
educators appeal to school boards and other decisionmakers to keep music in schools. The Music Education
Coalition is an entity formed by NAMM, the International Music Products Association and MENC: The
National Association for Music Education.
Music Teachers National Association Executive Director Gary L. Ingle, concurring with Pieffer, added,
“Public and private music teachers must work together
to preserve the importance of music study in our society. The one-on-one relationships developed though
music lessons allow independent music teachers to
develop valuable relationships in the community, enabling them to have an influential voice advocating the
preservation of music study.”
The Music Education Coalition created and launched
www.SupportMusic.com, the source of information for
the largest national grassroots initiative ever in support
of school music programs. Dedicated to inspiring action to support music education in the United States,
the initiative offers resources empowering parents to
act locally.
Because of the positive impact of music education on
child’s development, the federal government named
music a “core academic subject” alongside reading,
writing and arithmetic in the No Child Left Behind Act
(the controlling federal education legislation). At the
same time thousands of school boards across the country are implementing unprecedented and massive budget cutbacks. All too often, music is the first to be
sacrificed and more than 60 percent of the children in
school (grades K–12) may be deprived of a music
education.
The MTNA Board of Directors ratified the partnership
between Music Teachers National Association and
SupportMusic.com at its summer meeting in July 2003.
The ratification of this agreement marked the joining of
forces of the two organizations to preserve the importance of music education and its role in both the private
and public sectors.
Music Teachers National Association is a nonprofit
organization of independent and collegiate music
teachers committed to furthering the art of music
through teaching, performance, composition and scholarly research. Founded in 1876, Music Teachers National Association is the oldest music teachers’
association in the United States.
“Music education is a vital aspect of every child’s
development,” stated Phyllis Pieffer, NCTM and
MTNA President. “Studies have shown a direct correlation between exposure to music and academic
achievement, social awareness, responsibility, discipline and work productivity. Dr. Todd Siler, author of
Think Like a Genius and Breaking the Mind Barrier,
states, ‘There’s not a single area of human endeavor
that hasn’t benefited from the arts or been influenced
by them.’ In addition, based on the 2003 Gallup Poll,
‘American Attitudes Toward Music,’ 85 percent of
Americans believe participating in a school music program corresponds with better grades and 95 percent of
respondents said that music was a vital part of a wellrounded education.”
For additional information about MTNA or the partnership with SupportMusic.com, contact the MTNA
national headquarters at (513) 421-1420,
[email protected] or visit our website at
www.mtna.org.

in schools, log onto www.SupportMusic.com.

KMTA Continuing Education & MTNA Certification
At the KMTA 2003 Fall Board Meeting the members voted to automatically extend the Kansas Continuing
Education Document to those teachers who have been granted the MTNA Nationally Certified Teacher of Music
Certificate. With this new program in place there will be no additional fee to receive the Kansas documentation.
The Kansas Continuing Education program will still exist for those teachers who desire to meet the requirements
for Kansas.
The KMTA Continuing Education and MTNA Certification programs are available to help us as teachers
promote music education and maintain a uniform set of teaching standards. They exist to improve the level of
professionalism within the field of music teaching. For the music teaching professional, they provide prestige,
recognition and the potential for student recruitment and increased earning power. For the public, they help
readily identify competent applied music teachers in their communities.
As KMTA Vice President for Education, I would encourage all members to look into these programs and plan
to participate. If you have any questions about the KMTA Continuing Education or the MTNA Professional
Certification Program, please do not hesitate to call, write or email.

MINUTES OF THE KANSAS MUSIC
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION FALL
BOARD MEETING
Thursday, October 30, 2003
Grand Ballroom, Overland Park Marriott
Overland Park, Kansas
Keturah Lawrence shared with the Board the projects
she has been working on as Music Progressions Chair.
She and Wendy Stevens will be presenting a session at
the Tri-State Conference. They have also prepared the
new Music Progressions Resource Handbook to complement the curriculum guide. During the next year
Keturah plans to create an informational brochure explaining the Music Progressions curriculum to studio
parents and new teachers as well as update the KMTA
website with Music Progressions information.
Members met at 5:30 p.m. for discussion and work
time in small groups. The Board meeting was officially called to order at 6:45 p.m. as members ate
dinner together.
Caren Loper, IMTF Chair, reported on her activities for
the year and suggested that members of the Board
update their section of the officers handbook. Information can then be printed in a new, updated handbook.
Sharon Kriss, Vice-President for Education, reported
on the continuing education program. Judy Plagge
suggested upgrading the certificate given for meeting
the certification standards, and Nancy Blockcolsky
offered to help on it. Discussion followed on the
possibility of allowing nationally certified members to
be automatically certified by the state. Trilla Lyerla
moved that any KMTA member who is certified by
MTNA should automatically be certified by KMTA
with no additional fee being charged. Linda Featherston seconded the motion, and it carried. We will still
have Kansas certification for those who wish to be only
state certified.
Sharon Kriss moved that the minutes from the spring
board meeting be approved as they were printed in the
Summer Update. Leonetta Bibby seconded the motion,
and it passed.
Pat Ziegelmeier, executive secretary, presented complete financial reports for KMTA and reported that she
is handling the money and paying the bills for the
Tri-State Conference.
President Tim Shook reported on his activities and said
that we will continue efforts to contact every KMTA
member this fall. Linda Featherston, as President
Elect, said that about 100 people have responded on the
member information form sent out with the Update.
She is continuing her work in this area and on membership.
Public Relations: Vice-President for Public Relations,
Leonetta Bibby, reported that work is being done to
prepare a brochure for advocacy and publicity of our
events. She would like to coordinate efforts into one
brochure. Melissa Falkner, Update editor, told members the deadline for information in the Winter issue is
December 1. All information should be sent to her.
Deadline for information to be in for the Kansas Music
Review is December 15. Information should be sent to
Kerry Woodward, KMTA Review editor. Nancy
Blockcolsky, OTS Chair, reported that her committee
is going to evaluate the process and criteria for the OTS
award for the future. She shared her efforts in promoting the OTS award for this year. Wendy Stevens, Arts
Advocacy Chair, shared her work on a brochure which
she has created. This will be voted on later in the
meeting. David Tauscher discussed the KMTA website
and reported that members may send information to
Rick@LucasGraphics or [email protected].
He shared guidelines with the Board on submitting
material for the website.
Judy Plagge, Vice-President for Associations, reported
on activities in her area. Julie Brown, Local Associations Chair, reminded members that a breakfast meeting for local associations will be held on Saturday
morning of the conference. She also told members to
pick up checks from her if they were awarded IMTF
grants for this year.
Karen McClellan, Student Chapter Chair, asked the
Board for direction on how student chapters are to
proceed at this time. She asked if student chapters
would have a session at fall conference next year.
After discussion, the consensus was that students will
help plan a session that will be of interest to all conference attendees.
24
If cost will exceed this amount, the executive committee needs to be contacted and a vote taken before the
computer is purchased. Leonetta Bibby seconded this
motion, and it passed.
The following district presidents reported on fall auditions in their areas: Mara Balke, district I; Nancy
Blockcolsky in place of Lois Moon for district III;
Karol Hickel for district IV; and Annetta Smith for
district VI. No reports were given for districts II or V.
Keturah Lawrence moved that we allow teachers who
are not KMTA/MTNA members to enter Music Progressions for a fee of $75 plus the student entry fees.
Leonetta Bibby seconded the motion, and it carried.
Local association presidents were welcomed to the
meeting, and those present shared reports of activities
for their local groups.
President Tim Shook gave a history of the salary for
the executive secretary from 1987 to the present.
Leonetta Bibby moved that the salary be raised; there
was no second. After more discussion, Linda Featherston moved to raise the salary to $7,670 and have Pat
keep a log of her hours per month. Annetta Smith
seconded the motion, and it passed. Judy Plagge
moved that we review the salary annually at the fall
conference; David Tauscher seconded the motion, and
it carried.
New business: Julie Brown moved that the application
for both the local associations and the student chapters
be published in the Summer Update with a due date of
October 1. The application will need to include the
name of the local association/chapter; the
name/address
of
its
president;
the
name/purpose/description/date of project; the dollar
amount of the mini-grant request; and the
name/address/email/phone of the person submitting
the application. The committee will award monies
based on the following criteria: $1700 total allowance,
every association/chapter applying will receive a minimum of $100; any money left over can then be distributed
at
the
committee’s
discretion.
Associations/chapters will be notified following the
fall board meeting.
Leonetta Bibby seconded the motion, and it passed.
There was no old business to come before the Board.
In closing the meeting, President Tim Shook reminded
members of the MTNA Conference to be held in Kansas City March 27-31, 2004. He also announced that
the spring KMTA Board Meeting will tentatively be
held in Salina on June 5, 2004.
No further business appearing, the meeting was adjourned.
David Tauscher moved that KMTA provide lunch for
judges at the district fall auditions. Judy Plagge seconded the motion. After discussion, Linda Featherston
moved that we amend the original motion to provide
lunch for the judges at fall district auditions to limit the
cost to a maximum of $15 per judge. Nancy Blockcolsky seconded the motion, and it carried.
Respectfully submitted by Leonetta Bibby and Pat
Ziegelmeier
Linda Featherston moved that KMTA print
publicity/membership/advocacy brochures as needed
to advertise within and without the organization. Linda
will oversee the formatting and printing of the brochures as well as maintain a reasonable cost for them.
Judy Plagge seconded the motion, and it passed.
2004 Kansas Conference
October 29 - 30
After discussion on purchasing a new computer for the
executive secretary, Trilla Lyerla moved that KMTA
purchase a new computer from a Colby store that offers
support. Leonetta Bibby seconded the motion. After
further discussion Nancy Blockcolsky moved that the
motion be amended to authorize Pat to get a new
computer and printer not exceeding a cost of $2,000.
