“How to start a high school Electronic Music Group”
Free online workshop: June 28th, 2022 at 11:00am US eastern time
Inspired by the feedback I received on a recent post about my students, I’d like to offer a 100% free workshop on the basics of starting a high school EMG (electronic music group). We will cover the technology involved as well as the group dynamic, performance style, how we handle arrangements and covers, and how to turn a pilot group in to a sustainable school activity. I’m hoping teachers will find this workshop to be a helpful starting point in launching their own electronic music performance programs – the world needs more EMG’s!
Registrations will be open through June 28th and close one hour before the event.

I am available for teaching inservices, workshops and other speaking engagements on the topics of music and technology. I’d be happy to help your department with music technology, teacher PD/skills training, K-12 music curriculum development or other sessions related to music education in the 21st century.
