Two events are available for music teachers on November 8 (Election Day). One is listed below and the other can be found on the page for Teacher-Directed Staff Development.

 MUSIC AS TEXT: ANALYZING MUSIC FOR PERFORMANCE AND APPRECIATION

As in the past, the 2011-12 school year offers a series of professional development events for music teachers in New York City public schools. There’s a cost for the series that must be paid for by the school at the pleasure of the principal, and participants must register on-at a dedicated website (CVENT). The cost of the series is $100 per elementary school participant for the full workshop series (3 days).

All workshops will be held at Frank Sinatra School of the Arts High School, 35-12 35th Avenue in Queens, on Tuesday, November 8, 2011, and then on Monday, January 30, and Thursday, June 7, 2012, from 8:30 AM — 3:00 PM.

This year’s series will provide “will provide practical, performance based strategies for articulating and demonstrating the ways in which music empowers students to ‘decode’ complex text.”

“These three sessions will focus upon one, specific aspect of the music specialist’s mission: to encourage students’ appreciation and participation in music thus developing their ability to read music-related text. In doing so, the goals and outcomes for our students contained within the Music Blueprint and Common Core standards are supported.”

Participants are expected to attend all three workshop days. The registration deadline for this workshop series is Tuesday, October 31, 2011.

The Fine Print:

1. Obtain permission from your principal to attend all workshop days.

2. Ask your school to purchase this course through the FAMIS e-catalog.

3. Obtain the document number for your school’s payment from your Principal or school purchasing personnel. You’ll need to provide this number for the on-line registration form.

4. Complete the online registration at the CVENT site. Confirmation will be sent once registration is completed and payment is approved by the Office of Arts & Special Projects.

(In past years, participants were permitted to attend even when payment had not been completed, as long as they could provide a signed note from the principal indicating an intention to pay.) Principals will need to purchase the workshop on your behalf as a FAMIS item, so it’s important to discuss the date and your plans, in advance of the registration deadline.
