I try to reach everyone in the room and show numerous and effective ideas and ways to integrate technology into the elementary music classroom while keeping the music curriculum in tact. This means that they can take one idea from the presentation because eating everything in the buffet would be too much to handle. When I go to NYSSMA, it is wonderful to catch up with people and to network with numerous music educators who are doing great things in their schools.ĭuring my presentations, I tell the participants that I will give them a “dessert buffet” of ideas. I am an alum of Ithaca College and our clarinet choir traveled to NYSSMA way back in the 90s. The conference is a great one and I love coming back to it annually. I woke up early to present two sessions about integrating technology into the elementary music classroom. It was great to visit the New York State School of Music Association (NYSSMA) winter conference in Rochester, NY.
