The Complete Band Director Workshop
June 18 – 21, 2019
This is a comprehensive workshop for elementary, middle school, junior high, and high school instrumental music teachers.
To meet the challenge of establishing a well-balanced instrumental music program, we need to expose our students to a variety of instructional and performance opportunities. For the first-year teacher to the seasoned pro, this workshop is designed to enhance the positive experiences of dealing with the concert band, marching band and jazz band.
A workshop featuring practical solutions for today's instrumental music teacher.
- Special appearances by noted composers and music educators Peter Boonshaft and William Owens.
- Sessions on developing and balancing your band program and preparing for adjudicated events by OMEA’s Director of Adjudications William Guegold.
