Chapter General Meetings
September 27, 2023 (Wed) | 10:00-11:30 AM
Topic: CAPMT SCV Overview and "Rapid Roundtable Discussion" with Grant Kondo
Hybrid: In-Person (encouraged!) and Zoom
In-Person Location: Opus 11 School of Music (click for map/directions)
This session will be split into two parts: In the first portion, we will have an overview
of CAPMT SCV and all the events we do in a year. Perfect for brand-new and long-time
members!
In the second portion, we will flip the usual "presenter speaks wisdom and attendees
listen" format on its head and Grant will use a polling system that will allow us to
explore various topics related to music teachers. Grant will serve as moderator to
introduce commonly-discussed topics in music teaching and via the polling system,
we will be able to gain "collective wisdom" and responses from all participants
simultaneously! You'll have to attend to find out how it works!
Both in-person AND virtual attendees will be able to participate.
Refreshments will be provided for in-person attendees!

Pedagogy & Play
Pedagogy & Play is an informal monthly setting for teachers to discuss various pedagogical topics, and also a chance to perform for each other (optional)! These are held on the first Friday of each month. We have also hosted nationally-renowned pedagogues in the past, such as Dennis Alexander, Forrest Kinney, and Peter Mack.
Each month will focus on a different pedagogy topic.
