New Ways of Talking in the Classroom
How many of us were told, "You're talking too much in your
rehearsal - conduct more and talk less?" I know that I was,
and I think that I've probably been guilty (and perhaps even
fairly so) of saying it to young undergraduate conductors.
But - isn't it necessary to stop and talk at times to our
students, especially about the meaning of the music in which
we're working? Every piece has a story and tells a story - do
we discuss this story with our students? Shouldn't we?

Are you aware of the new licensing laws that took effect August
31, 2004? You probably have heard of this new system for
licensing referred to as "PI 34." How does this new licensing
system impact currently licensed teachers? The immediate
impact will be in the role you play in assisting beginning
teachers through the PI 34 licensing process by serving as a
mentor or on a Professional Development Team (PDT). The
long-term impact might be on your own license renewal if you
choose to convert your five-year license by completing a
Professional Development Plan (PDP)
