Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Well, 2011 promises to be aninteresting year! At the time of this writing,our new governor has proposed eliminatingthe Kansas Arts Commission as a state

agency and changing its status to a 501(c)(3)non-profit organization. As you are probablyaware, KMTA receives grant money from theKAC each year, as do many of the other artsorganizations across the state. Funding cutsthis past year have affectedmany community arts projectsaround the state, and achange in the KAC’s statuscould cause an even biggerdrop in support for the arts.So, what are we to do? First

of all, we must not simply hangour heads in defeat. No matterhow our state legislature voteson the proposed budget, ourorganization will go on. On theother hand, we are notrequired to allow this to go through withoutgiving input. The beauty of our wonderfulcountry is that we are allowed to voice ouropinions openly, to present facts and feelingsin public and to work to influence those inleadership.

If, by the time you receive thisnewsletter, the legislature has not yet votedon the budget, I encourage you to use yourfreedom to voice your opinion passionately(but always respectfully) to your statesenators and state representatives. If we arenot willing to stand up for the arts in Kansas,who will? Please realize that our legislatorsface the daunting task of trying to keep ourstate running; because the state faces realfinancial challenges, the legislature willprobably have to make spending cuts

somewhere. We can respect the difficulty ofthe decisions they face, even while trying to

influence them to continue supporting the artsin a tangible way.

If, on the other hand, the Kansas StateLegislature has voted and approved GovernorBrownback’s proposed budget, know thatKMTA will be working to continue our

programs. We may need to seek other sourcesof funding, or we may need to work to trim ourown budget, but we will carry on in pursuit ofour mission. In case you haven’t read it lately,here is our mission: “Kansas Music Teachers

Association is dedicated tohelping each student experiencethe joy of music. Through itseducational programs andactivities, this organization willempower its members--teachers with high professional

standards-- to foster in studentsa lifelong commitment to musicas patrons, performers,teachers, and hobbyists.”KMTA will also work inpartnership with communities

across Kansas to insure that music is anongoing, vital part of the cultural life.

Thank you for being a part of theKansas Music Teachers Association. As youperuse the remainder of this issue of the KMTAUpdate, you will see that we had very

successful fall auditions, and there will beexciting Music Progressions events across thestate throughout the spring. The KMTA StateConference for 2011 will be at Emporia StateUniversity, located between Kansas City andWichita on I-35. It will be a great opportunityfor us to gather again to learn, hear greatmusic, and fellowship with other musicteachers from around the state. I look forwardto seeing you June 10-11 at Emporia!

Sincerely,

Nancy BlockcolskyPresident

The next board meeting is Friday, February 25th from 11:15 am at theCafé Bel Ami in Wichita.

KMTA Sessions at the KMEA In-Service WorkshopFriday, February 25, 2011 - Century II Conference Center, Room 101

KMTA is honored to join with Senseney Music and Kjos Publishing Company in bringing BradleySowash to present three sessions at the KMEA In-Service Workshop.

Creative pianist, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, composer/arranger, collaborator, author andeducator, Bradley Sowash has performed with such luminaries as The Cab Calloway Orchestra and TheMills Brothers. As a soloist and bandleader, he has delighted listeners of all ages throughout the UnitedStates and Europe for over two decades. His broadcast credits include National Public Radio and he hasbeen a frequent guest on the PBS-TV series, The Piano Guy for seven seasons. His publications includeseveral volumes of jazz hymn arrangements as well as educational jazz piano books. He also writes andarranges for ensembles ranging from string quartets to big bands and full orchestras.

A well-regarded jazz educator, Sowash is the author of That's Jazz, a three volume jazz pianomethod published by the Neil A. Kjos Music Company. He frequently offers teacher training workshops forpiano teachers in conjunction with that series. He is the director of The Jazz Workshop, a division ofColumbus, Ohio’s Chamber Music Connection, in which student jazz combos receive weekly coaching byprofessional jazz musicians and he teaches at the Jazz Academy administered by Jazz Arts Group. He also

maintains a private studio with students ranging from age 9 to70.

Sowash currently serves on the board of theWorthington Arts Council. He regularly appears as a guestspeaker and arts consultant offering professional developmentworkshops for fellow artists and teachers. He also serves artorganizations such as the Jazz Masters Awards and several statearts councils. In 2008, he will serve as a panelist on the subjectof recreational music making at the Music Teacher's NationalAssociation annual conference in Denver, CO.

Workshop Sessions

9:00 – 9:50 a.m.: Improvising is for Everyone (a master class providing step-by-step tools):A jazz chamber master class where Sowash will work with pre-college student musicians. Learn to usethe basic theory and music reading you already teach as a foundation for teaching students to improvise.Improvisation and reading music should both be taught to all music students, because students who readwell and play by ear can perform a wider range of styles and are more engaged. Additionally, theapplied music theory inherent in improvisation leads to a deeper interpretation of written music andopens the door to greater self-expression. Teachers seeking to balance their current emphasis on readingmusic with improvisation will leave this session with many practical tips that will open the door into thefascinating world of playing by ear.

10:00 – 10:50 a.m.: That’s Jazz! Incorporating Jazz into the Traditional Lesson: Bradley Sowash brings new publications to enliven your students’ interest, helping your best readers get“out” of the music, and helping those who tend to play by ear get motivated to read music with ease.

12:30 – 1:30 p.m.: KMTA Honors Recital:An annual attraction is a lunchtime recital featuring student winners of the MTNA and KMTA FallHonors Auditions held in November 2010. Grades 2 through university level will be featured on piano,woodwinds, brass, and strings.

2:45 – 3:45 p.m.: Now What? Going Further with Lead Sheets:So you can already play the melody and chord symbols on lead sheets... now what? Learn how topersonalize your interpretation of lead sheets found in fake books. Lead sheets offer a compromisebetween playing totally “off the top of one's head” and reading every note one plays. This session offerspractical tips for interpreting lead sheets through demonstration and written examples.

KMTA Music ProgressionsKMTA Music ProgressionsKMTA Music ProgressionsKMTA Music Progressions

A few final corrections of the testing materials (Sets 1 and 2) have been completed and those materialshave been distributed to all the KMTA chapters who hold Music Progressions events, as well as to theWashington State Music Teachers Association. Re-recorded Listening CDs for Sets 1 and 2 have alsobeen sent to all of the chapters.

The Washington State association has, additionally, purchased and received our Sight ReadingMaterials for Set 1. They are pleased with all of the materials they have received, and have already heldone event, which they call a Musicianship Festival.

The North Idaho Music Teachers Association chapter saw our materials through the Washington stateevents, and has now purchased and received CDs with the testing materials and the listening tests forSet 1. It has been such a delight and privilege to get to communicate with these teachers and hear howmuch they appreciate all the work that has gone into the development of the Kansas materials!

Now that all of the Kansas chapters have received corrected materials, and the materials and listening testsare all burned onto CDs for future distribution, the job of future KMTA Music Progressions Chairs will

mainly be one of communication, and will be much simpler than these past years of development.

I look forward to passing my baton to a KMTA colleague who shares the same excitement and sense ofaccomplishment that comes from enabling the success of Music Progressions in the lives of our students! Ifyou accept the baton, I promise you will have plenty of time left over to enjoy the fruit of your labor!

For the joy of Music Progressions,Sally Buxton, NCTMKMTA Music Progressions Chair
