Music Technology in Education

The Association for Technology in Music Instruction (ATMI) - whose new website looks fantastic by the way - is holding it’s national conference in conjunction with the College Music Society (CMS) from September 25-28 in Atlanta, GA at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis Hotel in downtown Atlanta. I am personally most excited about the Keynote Speaker for the conference, composer Pauline Oliveros, who is one of the most influential composers of our time (in my humble opinion). The conference schedule is posted, and there are many great presenters and sessions scheduled. I will be presenting a session titled New Trends in Music Technology which is one of my favorites. Other presenters include Tom Rudolph, Jay Dorfman, Rick Dammers, Gina Greher, Richard Sussman, Evan Tobias, Marc Jacoby, Scott Lipscomb, Sandi MacLeod, Rick Schmunk, Mike Nord, Raymond Riley, David Williams, Peter Webster, Fred Rees, and George Litterst (among many other fine presenters). It is a veritable “who’s who” of music technology experts!

SoundTree is sponsoring the hands-on lab at the conference as well as the Pre-Conference, which is titled Delivering Music Instruction with Web 2.0 Social Computing Tools. ATMI is one of my favorite events of the year and I am really excited to be there again this year (albeit in a new role).

I welcome your questions and comments.
