Hula Workshop
Lauren Williams - Room 118 A lifelong seeker of knowledge, Kumu Kanoe studied with her first Kumu Hula, Leimomi I Maldonado, of Ka Hale I o Kāhala for over 20 years before completing an ʻūniki (graduation requirements) which allowed her to open her own hālau in 2010. She currently teaches hula out of her family home in Nuʻuanu and also teaches choir, general music and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) at Punahou School in Mānoa. |
Are We Missing the Mark? An Analysis of Band Repertoire in Relation to NCAS Standards.
Dr. Pippin - Room 36 The purpose of this session is to present research and ideas to foster a conversation about selecting literature and teaching music from historical time periods prior to 1900. There is a lack of understanding of how to locate and incorporate historical literature into a high school band curriculum. Perhaps more importantly, a lack of understanding exists among many band directors that they should be providing their students meaningful engagement in historical music so they can adequately meet the National Core Arts Standards for music adopted by Hawai’i. This session will break down this issue and explore solutions to better prepare the next generation of band students to better understand the continuum of music in a historical context. |

Am I Being Graded On That?
Scott Sheehan - Room 36 Assessment in large instrumental ensembles can be a challenge for even the best music educators. This session will focus on best practices and strategies for assessing students in the band and orchestra settings while using technology and aligning the 2014 National Standards to your curriculum and assessments. |

Learning the Basics of Rondalla Performance
Dr. Marfil - Room 201
The Philippine Rondalla consists of bandurria, octavina, laud, guitar, and double bass. For this workshop, I will be bringing Six bandurrias and three octavinas. Only nine participants will be able to join as there are nine instruments available. However, if the participant can provide his own instrument, he is very welcome to join. At least two guitarists can also join the workshop provided that they bring their own instrument. The bandurria and octavina have 14 strings and are tuned in six different pitches. Besides learning the parts of the instruments, all participants will be learning the basics of playing these instruments, including the proper technique of strokes with the use of pick/plectrum. The participants will learn playing the string number one first with its corresponding notes/pitches. Simple exercises and short pieces will be focusing on this string, so that the participants will get familiar with the sound of this string, including improving their sight-reading skills. After getting familiar with the first string, the rest of the strings will follow with their respective exercises and short pieces to familiarize the sound of these strings.
