March 2022 High Notes

3/1/2022

 
JMTA High Notes
March 2022—Vol. 25, no. 6
General Meeting and Program (over ZOOM):
March 9, 2022: 9:30am – General meeting
10:30am – Program: Fun with Rhythm
_____________________________________________________________________________
From the President’s Pen:
After all those good intentions in our New Year’s Resolutions, let’s take stock in what actually may help.
 
Let’s Move! The February-March AMT magazine has a good Wellness article- “Tailoring Your Fitness Routine” by Regina Campbell.  Check out her suggestions for strengthening the core and stretching. A little care of the body each day goes a long way to supporting our mental and emotional fitness.
 
Let’s Breathe! Lisa Barwell has led JMTA in several breathing exercises that are simple and cleanse the mind.  It only takes a few seconds to do these and feel refreshed. Take some deep breaths in between lessons or during a lesson when the things get frustrating. The students also need to breathe.
 
Let’s Read! What an amazing array of books and articles on every topic is at our fingertips. We enrich our lessons and lives by learning something new each day. We also provide a good example for our students. I often ask them what they are reading in school and what they are reading for pleasure. 
 
Let’s Applaud! JMTA has so many talented members. Dr. Erin Bennett is one of the two nominees for Director of the Southern Division of MTNA. We know what a vital role Erin holds in our association and in the University of North Florida. She will be an excellent leader to represent Southern Division at the national level. If you have not already voted, please go to MTNA.org and vote. The deadline if March 1st.
 
Let’s Spread Kindness!  At the close of some of the news broadcasts, there are segments about folks who are doing good work in their communities, people who sacrifice to give opportunities to others, people who put others first. I find these stories inspirational. We can all do something to help others. There are so many ways to volunteer through community groups, churches, schools, etc…Smaller acts of kindness such as thanking the folks who pick up our trash, smiling at the cashier in the grocery store, letting someone in line ahead of you or checking on a neighbor all add up to a better world.
 
Let’s Practice!  Playing our instrument or singing is part of who we are. Even if our practice on some days is limited to a technical warmup of 20-30 minutes, we need to do it. It keeps us connected to our instrument and also helps prevent injury. Nelita True once told me when I was complaining about not having hour-long blocks of time to practice that she had become the greatest 20-
minute practicer.  She could grab 20 minutes several times a day and accomplish more than in her longer sessions because she was more focused and had several new beginnings.
 
Let’s Teach!

District IV Student Day
Saturday, April 30, live at Mandarin Baptist Church, 11244 San Jose Blvd., 32223 (application deadline: Saturday, March 19)
Student Day is a comprehensive yearly evaluation in 1. repertoire and keyboard skills, 2. written theory, and 3. aural theory, in levels primary through level 12, for piano, instrumental or voice, and held in districts throughout Florida, usually in the spring. Many students that have gone on to take music in college say their college music courses are easier after having been in Student Day. 
 
1. AUDITION BEFORE JUDGE
For the "repertoire and keyboard skills" audition, the student performs three memorized pieces before a judge (two pieces if primary level). The pieces must be in original form (no arrangements or traditional pieces) and from different composers, from any musical period. Once the student is in level 5, the pieces must each be from different musical periods. The judge audition is also where the keyboard skills are evaluated. Students will be assigned a time and room for this audition. Go to FMTA.org (see information below) for repertoire guidelines and what keyboard skills the student will be evaluated on.
 
2. WRITTEN THEORY
Students take a written theory test based on their level. They can go to the Written Theory room at any time within the prescribed hours to take their test. Go to FMTA.org (see information below) on what will be tested at their level.
 
3. AURAL THEORY
Students are assigned a time to meet, with others in their level, with a teacher who will play various intervals, chords, scales, etc. (appropriate to their level) on the piano and students each choose the correct answers on their tests. Go to FMTA.org (see information below) on what will be tested at their level.
 
4. RECITAL
Each student is also assigned a recital to perform in that day. The recital is not a graded segment, but is a wonderful opportunity to perform in front of other students. 
 
FMTA.ORG
Go to the Florida State Music Teachers Assoc website (https://www.fmta.org), click on the "Student Activities" drop-down, and click on "FSMTA Non-Competitive Events". Under Student Day, click on "Members of FSMTA Only" with the password of Mozart (since you're a JMTA/FSMTA member). This will take you to the Student Day page: 
 
- Written and Aural Theory Guidelines are in the first column, for each level. This will tell you what they will be tested on in both written and aural theory, along with practice tests.
 
- Piano Guidelines are in the second column, for each level. This houses the repertoire guidelines for the "repertoire audition" (you don't have to choose from these pieces, but you can and it is a helpful guide), as well as what the judge will test them on for "keyboard skills". Print the MELODIES FOR HARMONIZATION AND TRANSPOSITION page (except for primary level), as the student needs to choose a melody ahead of time and practice it, so that they can play it for the judge.
 
- Piano Interactive Examination Sheets are in the third column, for each level. Download the correct level and fill out the interactive areas for the student (Student name, and whether they are being evaluated for Achievement or Progress, and the Titles of the pieces, as well as Composer name and Time of piece). Or you can just fill out by hand. One sheet must be filled out for each student. (Don't bother with the Fully-Interactive Examination Sheets in the fourth column, that's for when Student Day is held virtually, and it is in-person this year.)
 
NOTE: You can also email Music Masters at [email protected], or call them at (954) 752-2856, to purchase a practice packet for the student's level that covers all the written theory, aural theory, and keyboard skills they will need to know, with practice sheets. This is helpful, but of course not required.
 
The Student Day Handbook is also available on-line at the top of the fmta.org Student Day page for your perusal.
 
STUDENT DAY REGISTRATION FORM
For the Student Day registration, please use the form on the JMTA website (jaxmta.org), as you choose whether the student prefers a morning or afternoon block of time, and put the student's choice of Student Day pieces for the recital piece. Here is a link to it here (it is also on the jaxmta.org website under Special Events, and District 4 Student Day):
https://www.jaxmta.org/uploads/1/2/6/2/126223255/student_day_achievement_examination_application.pdf
 
To register for Student Day, please mail to me: 
1.) one completed registration form of your students (from the jaxmta.org link above)
2.) a completed Piano Interactive Examination Sheet for each student (from fmta.org)
3.) a check made out to FSMTA District IV (each student is $30, plus $15 for the teacher's continental lunch), by Saturday, March 19 (or at least email me by that time that you will be sending it), to me:
 
Angie Holt
408 Bridgeview Terrace
Saint Johns, Florida 32259
 
Please don't hesitate to let me know of any questions you may have.

Over Coffee With . . .
This month we getting to know a newer participant in our music teacher association. Damon Martin is our new Treasurer this year, and is married to Stefanie Batson-Martin, our Recording Secretary. Welcome to Damon, and thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
 
DAMON MARTIN
Damon Martin was born and raised in Bradenton, Florida. He began piano lessons at age 5 as his sister started the year prior and he found a piano in the house interesting. He studied mostly with Geri Zandstra of MCMTA. He played baritone/euphonium throughout middle school and high school in the wind ensemble and marching band. He received his first guitar at 14 and then his first bass guitar at 15, which became his primary instrument.
          After high school, Damon was bassist and manager of a punk band which released a few albums that are thankfully unavailable. During this time, he worked for his family’s concrete business, later working in lawn maintenance, appliance hauling/appliance warehouse management, and even working one summer in a cemetery.
          Damon began studying music in college at 26. He attended Manatee Community College, studying bass under John Miller, principal bassist of the Sarasota Orchestra, who convinced him to play the upright bass. While there he took class piano with Dr. Charles Turon. He was also bassist and manager of a jazz combo. He graduated from MCC with an Associate of Arts degree.
          Damon moved to Jacksonville, transferring to the University of North Florida’s jazz program. He studied jazz bass with Dennis Marks, classical bass with Dr. Jason Lindsay, and composition with Dr. Gary Smart. He graduated from UNF with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies.
          Damon has played four dozen musical theatre productions throughout Florida including at the Golden Apple Dinner Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. Most local performances outside theatre have been contract work.
          Damon fell into tutoring math just before starting his music program at MCC and actually considered pursuing a math degree over a music degree. He worked as a peer math tutor at both MCC and UNF. While pursuing his jazz degree he took several math courses. As of Fall 2021 he has returned to UNF to complete the remaining courses of a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics degree. Upon completion of this degree he intends to pursue grad school.
          He is married to Stefanie Batson-Martin. They met while studying music at UNF. He has collaborated with her on many theatre shows; they both teach music at Music and Arts. They have two cats, Jiji and Lily.
          In his spare time Damon restores antique furniture, brews beer, and is writing a family cookbook. His favorite pastime is napping.

2022 MTNA National Conference
The 2022 MTNA National Conference has been changed to a virtual-only event. It will be held on March 26–30, 2022.  
From the MTNA website: “While we were looking forward to a return to a live and in-person conference, for the health and safety of everyone involved, the in-person conference has been cancelled, and we have pivoted to a virtual-only format. The virtual conference will still be the most inclusive conference program ever, now delivered to you in the comfort of your own home or studio. In addition to experiencing well over 100 sessions, master classes, keynote addresses and recitals, you will also have multiple opportunities for live interactions with presenters and colleagues from around the nation and the world.”

Did you know?
 
Residents of Duval county, if they have a Jacksonville Library card, can use the many electronic resources from the https://jaxpubliclibrary.org/digital-library. Getting a library card is free. All that's needed is your driver's license and sign up in person at any of the 21 branches.
 
The card allows the use of Kanopy - which has free streaming movies, documentaries, educational resources [older teens/adults]. I saw a documentary "Making the Grade" which profiled Irish students and piano teachers whose students are preparing to take the Irish Royal Academy of Music Examinations. It was funny, moving, informative, and relatable, especially seeing snippets of the teacher's lessons in action and how the students feel about piano and their teachers overall. I highly recommend members watch it (and explore the other resources available from JPL)!
