Laptop = Instrument?
January 5th, 2010FMEA 2010 Clinic-Conference @ Tampa, FL
On Thursday this week, I will be giving a lecture at the Florida Music Educators Association Annual Clinic-Conference. This is the largest gathering of K12 music teachers in the state.
My talk will cover:
- the media’s role in how the laptop came to be considered an instrument
- myths and stereotypes about laptop music
- famous names associated with this emerging instrument
- thoughts about what the future may hold
- discussion about what K12 music education’s role could be
If you are going to FMEA, mark your planners or circle me in the program:
Thurs, Jan 7 • 2:45 PM-3:45 PM
Marriott Waterside Room: Meeting Room 4
I hope to see some of my old friends that work in music education around the state. Spread the word and invite your friends. Yes, I know it’s across the street from the main site (as the tech sessions always are!) but I hope to make it worth the walk.
