Toronto 2000: Open Call for Proposals for Joint Sessions

TORONTO 2000: MUSICAL INTERSECTIONS
Open Call for Proposals for Joint Sessions
(Proposal deadline: June 1, 1999)

The Society for Music Theory will hold its annual meeting November 1-5, 2000 in Toronto, Canada, together with fourteen sister societies engaged in music research and the teaching of music in U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities. Entitled Toronto 2000: Musical Intersections, the conference will bring together The American Musical Instrument Society (AMIS); the American Musicological Society (AMS); the Association for Technology in Music Instruction (ATMI); the Canadian Association of Music Libraries, Archives, and Documentation Centres (CAML); the Canadian Society for Traditional Music (CSTM); The College Music Society (CMS); the Canadian University Music Society (CUMS); The Historic Brass Society (HBS); the Canadian and U.S. chapters of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM); the Lyrica Society for Word-Music Relationships; the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM); the Society for Music Perception and Cognition (SMPC); and The Sonneck Society for American Music.

The Steering Committee for this joint meeting invites proposals from members of the participating societies for sessions that focus on interdisciplinary topics in the scholarly study, teaching, or creation of music (including performance), in an effective session format involving members from two or more of these societies. A proposal for a joint session may be coordinated with a separate evening concert.  Presentations in these sessions may be given in English, French, and Spanish.

Proposals for joint sessions must describe the topic and state the purpose of the session in fewer than 1000 words, give contact information for the session coordinator (valid for all of 1999), and provide a one-page resume for each committed participant. The Steering Committee encourages proposals that include participants from many disciplines; it is expected, however, that scholars in the field of music be members in good standing of at least one of the participating societies; membership should be indicated on the resume. All participants must register for the conference.

Six copies of each proposal should be sent no later than June 1, 1999 to Dr. Leslie Hall, Department of Philosophy and Music, Ryerson Polytechnic University, 350 Victoria Street, Toronto M5B 2K3, Canada.  Proposals may also be sent before June 1, 1999 by electronic mail to Dr. Hall at <lrhall@acs.ryerson.ca> Facsimile transmissions will not be accepted.

Joint sessions for the Toronto 2000 meeting will be selected by the fifteen-member Steering Committee by December 1, 1999, before the SMT deadline for regular proposals for the meeting. Individuals participating in these special joint sessions may also appear on any one other session on the formal Toronto program.

For further information, feel free to contact me at the e-mail address above (jschmalf@emerald.tufts.edu).

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough: Consuming Popular Music

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT/CALL FOR PAPERS

DON'T STOP TILL YOU GET ENOUGH: CONSUMING POPULAR MUSIC

The 1999 National Meeting of IAPSM-US (International Association for the Study of Popular Music, United States Branch)

WHEN: Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 1999

WHERE: Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), Murfreesboro, TN

The 1999 IASPM/U.S. conference welcomes papers on the cultural roles of music and musicians; the means by which music gets to its audiences;  and the ways in which music is interpreted and used by listeners in a variety of contexts. Within this broad frame, the conference will focus especially on consumption practices. In the study of popular music,
attention is sometimes focused on producers at the expense of consumers: we still understand and investigate very little about who listens to popular music, how they hear it, and how that music affects their lives. Thus we encourage papers on this topic. In addition, we welcome disciplinary and interdisciplinary examinations of (among other topics):

GRAD STUDENT AWARDS: IASPM-US will offer three awards of $200 each to the three best papers presented by graduate students.

ABOUT THE LOCATION: Murfreesboro is located approximately 35 miles from Nashville. We will plan several panels, speakers, and recreational activities around music-making activities in the Nashville area.

Deadline for proposals: May 15, 1999

Please send all proposals (submissions by e-mail are strongly encouraged) to:

Chair, Program Committee

College Music Society

Summer 1999 Opportunities for Professional Development
Offered by The College Music Society

This message contains information and updates on the following Summer 1999 events:

(1) Center for Professional Development in Music Technology at Illinois State University,

(2) Center for Professional Development in World Music at New England Conservatory of Music,

(3) Weekend Workshop on Teaching Women and Gender in Popular Music at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and

(4) CMS International Conference in Kyoto, Japan


Center for Professional Development in Music Technology

June 11-16, 1999
The Office of Research in Arts Technology (ORAT)
Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois

This year's Center for Professional Development in Music Technology will provide beginning to intermediate levels of training with three tracks of Web development with a special emphasis on music tools, Macromedia Director training for music software development and notation and sequencing tools to teach orchestration and arranging. The five-day experience will give participants the opportunity to explore these possibilities, seek answers to questions related to music technology, and work in a cross-platform environment with the large resources of music software, hardware, and well-qualified professional expertise on hand in the arts technology program at Illinois State. Special events and presentations are also planned for each day including a night at the Shakespeare Festival. The three tracks this summer provide enough new areas of study that previous attendees to the workshop should consider returning to the summer Institute.

Instruction will consist of lecture and demonstration, followed by hands-on experiences in the four Macintosh and Windows labs. Registration is available for "Internet Observers" who would like private access to RealAudio broadcasts of the lectures over the Internet and access to the Web-based teaching materials. We have made many changes and improvements that include:

Three nationally known music technology faculty will provide the primary instruction for the Center: Peter Webster, Henry Panion, and David Williams. Henry has unique talents, as arranger for Stevie Wonder, in teaching the use of MIDI software for arranging and orchestration and would provide new talent to the instructional mix. Webster and Williams, authors of Experiencing Music Technology, bring a broad range of experience with multimedia, web, and classroom applications. Additional Illinois State ORAT staff support will be provided by James Bohn, Jody DeCremer, David Kuntz and Joe Bernert.

For more information, see, <http://www.arts.ilstu.edu/cmscenter>

Tuition: Before April 30: CMS members, $450. Non-CMS members, $525. Internet Observer, $200. After May 1: CMS members, $550. Non-CMS members, $625. Internet Observer, $25


Center for Professional Development in World Music

New England Conservatory of Music
Boston, Massachusetts

The Institute is an immersion experience emphasizing oral learning through close contact with master performers and scholars, integration of performance with cultural study, and an open environment of cross-cultural inquiry.

Session I: July 6-11, 1999 East Africa and Haiti. Baganda music from Uganda features drums and xylophones and will be taught by James Makubuya of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Andrew Mangeni of the Smithfield, Rhode Island schools. They will also offer a separate course of instruction in teaching the music of East Africa in the K-12 classroom.

Weekend Workshop on Teaching Women and Gender in Popular Music

June 11-13, 1999
University of Wisconsin, Madison

The teaching of subject matter concerning women and gender in music has burgeoned in the past several years, supported in part by constantly expanding research in a variety of disciplines. To enhance professional development for teachers of women and gender in music, The College Music Society sponsors a variety of activities. Its weekend workshops are modeled on week-long summer institutes on women and music held in 1993 and 1996, and designed in part for participants who are not able to invest in a
week-long activity. The workshops are of relevance to persons new to teaching women and gender in music, as well as to those seeking a short refresher course, the latest in teaching materials, and new contacts with colleagues around the country involved in this subject matter. The workshops should appeal to graduate students and junior faculty new to teaching, seasoned teachers new to women and gender courses, and veterans of women's studies.

The first weekend workshop on women and gender in music was held January 1998 at the University of Texas-Austin, the second in February 1999 at Agnes Scott and Spelman Colleges. The workshop in Madison will be devoted to teaching women and gender in popular music. Workshop formats include large group sessions, smaller breakout discussion groups, and unstructured time for individual work. Some reading materials may be assigned in advance, and participants may be asked to bring some of their own resources to share. Participants may present reports on their research and participate in informal concerts and reading sessions of repertoire.

The faculty facilitator is Susan Cook, Associate Professor, University of Wisconsin, Madison, and well-known author of a variety of women and gender studies in music.
