My latest article for Tempo - the NJMEA Magazine - is now posted on my homepage. It is titled: Get The Gear On Stage - A Call for Alternative Performance Ensembles in Schools. The thrust of the article is the examination of traditional performance ensembles and the worth of considering alternatives to band, chorus, and orchestra. While it is not suggesting the elimination of those types of ensembles, it is suggesting that music educators should explore the possibilities of groups like a Laptop Orchestra, a synthesizer ensemble, a rock band, and more.
I hope you find the article thought provoking, and I look forward to reading your reactions.
