Virtual Workshop on Movement and Music
String colleagues! Join Lauri Hämäläinen and me as we present our first joint virtual workshop on Movement and Music. This 75-minute session uses our training in Rolland pedagogy and Body Mapping to address the top 10 issues we see in students with regard to unnecessary tension in their playing from both a preventive and remediative standpoint. We are offering three different class dates, each geared toward a different time zone to facilitate participants in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Choose the date/time that works best for you.

CHSAA/CMEA/CMAA - Adjudication Training Pilot Program
The COLORADO MUSIC ADJUDICATION ASSOCIATION is requesting your help for adjudication training. We are inviting all directors of choirs, orchestras and bands to send a video of your group or groups to CHSAA for training of potential adjudicators. The video you take can be a rehearsal, concert, or performance. These videos do not have to be a Superior setting, in fact we welcome your 1st or 2nd reading for training purposes. Consider sending a video around September to mid October.
** No names of school, director or group names will be advertised.
For further information of the entire process, please contact Rashaan Davis. Rdavis@CHSAA.org
