LHS Electronic Music Group – performance & demo
In-Person at OMEA 2023
The LHS Electronic Music Group makes its 7th appearance at the OMEA Conference, with a 40 minute set inspired by today’s electronic music scene.
“An Art Class for Music”
In-Person at OMEA & TMEA 2023
This session will show you how to build a creative space for students in your school using project-based instructional techniques. We will cover how to launch, maintain and grow your own “electronic music school” into a fully formed branch of your secondary music department. Covering many possibilities for creative music projects, this session aims to inspire the next generation of music teachers to develop creativity-based music production classes in their schools.
“Creating a Live Electronic Music Group”
In-Person at TMEA 2023
What would it look like if students made all the decisions behind a performing ensemble? Learn how to use the latest technology and touring techniques to create an authentically student-led pop music group at your school. This session specifics like live sound reinforcement, how DJ sets work, equipment and lighting and big-picture issues like group philosophy, recruiting and finding an audience.
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.
