Greetings from the President

"Music is the Gateway to the Soul," wrote Martin Luther. During this time of national tragedy, music is there to comfort and to support our concerns. During the many church services, the many tributes to the heroic efforts, and to the many, many moments of sadness all the music performances seemed to be saying let me into your soul to support your grief and to nurture your soul.

At a recent concert, that I was conducting, the orchestra began the program by twice playing "American the Beautiful." The first time the full orchestra performed for the universal sadness of the brutal act and the second time the strings played very softly for the fallen and for their friends and relatives. Tears were very evident and a collective warmth seemed to wrap around the orchestra and the audience. Later that evening, over a cup of coffee, I thought how so fortunate for humanity, that the language of music can communicate to all.

Thank you for being here to share the joy and thrill of music making at the state conference, conference, music revival, get-together, or whatever the Internal Revenue Service dictates is the appropriate title. President-elect Millie Mehnert has planned an inspiring conference. I hope you will be able to attend every activity your schedule allows.

This is a time to be thankful we can share our love of music with our students, our professional associates, and our audiences. This is a time for parents and other guiding and supportive friends to rejoice in the many musical performances to occur at Southwest Missouri State University.

PLEASE express your gratitude to Southwest Missouri State faculty and administrators for being the host campus and to President-elect Millie Mehnert for her tireless efforts.

Steven Houser, NCTM

Welcome . . .

from Southwest Missouri State University

On behalf of the Department of Music at Southwest Missouri State University, I am pleased to welcome the Missouri Music Teachers Association to our campus. The mission of the SMSU Music Department--to produce educated persons in the various music fields, is closely alligned with that of MMTA, and it is always good to be able to seek to attain these goals in a combined fashion. The faculty and staff of the Music Department want to do all we can to make your conference as successful as possible, and we urge you to contact us if we can help in any way.

While you are on campus, I invite you to visit the other facilities inhabited by our department in Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts and the Wehr Band Hall on the north side of campus. Please also take a moment to visit the brand new Jane A. Meyer Carillon located in the tower on top of the new Meyer Library addition.

Again, I am pleased you are here, and I wish you a very productive conference.

Sincerely,

John Prescott

Department Head of Music

Born in Hong Kong and immigrating to Canada at the age of twelve, Angela Chang was later educated at The Juilliard School and Indiana University. In 1986, she won a Gold Medal in the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition. Two years later she became the first Canadian to win the prestigious Montreal International Music Competition. In 1988, she received the Canada Council's Career Development Grant, recognizing her as one of today's most important artists. Ms. Cheng has captured First Prize in the Mae M. Whitaker International Competition, the University of Maryland International Piano Competition, and, most recently, the Palm Beach International Piano Competition. She has appeared with such orchestras as the Montreal Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Boston Pops, Toronto Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, and in major solo and chamber music recitals throughout North America and Europe. In 1991, she was bestowed with the Medal of Excellence by the Mozarteum in Salzburg. Her elegant and sensitive style at the keyboard is on display in her most recent recording of Mozart Concerti, in which she collaborates with Mario Bernardi and the CBC Vancouver Orchestra.

A native of Miami, Florida, Alvin Chow graduated as Co-Valedictorian at the University of Maryland where he was a student of Nelita True. He received the prestigious Victor Herbert Prize in Piano upon graduation from the Juilliard School where he studied with Sascha Gorodnitzki and held the Joseph Battista Memorial Scholarship at Indiana University as a student of Menahem Pressler. Venues for his performances have been the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Orchestra Hall in Chicago, Steinway Hall in New York and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. He has become widely known as a chamber musician, performing with his wife, Angela Cheng, and his twin brother, Alan. He captured first prize in numerous competitions such as the Civic Orchestra of Chicago Young Soloists Competition and the National Symphony Young Soloist Competition. Having taught many prize-winning students, Chow has earned recognition as a much sought-after teacher. During 1987-88, he was the first Fulbright College Visiting Artist in Piano at the University of Arkansas. Formerly a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, he is currently on the artist faculty of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.

She also received graduate music study credit at the University of Kansas Piano Pedagogy Seminar during 1992 and 1997.

Paul Henley earned a Bachelor of Music, Music Education degree (Magna cum Laude) from the University of South Dakota and a Master of Arts in Education degree from Chadron State. His masters thesis is titled, "A Melodic and Harmonic Analysis of the Unaccompanied Solo Tuba Works of Vincent Persichetti." He later received his Ph.D. in Music Education from Louisiana State University with his dissertation entitled "The Effect of Modeling and Tempo Gradations as Practice Techniques on the Performance of High School Instrumentalists." Before his appointment at Southwest Missouri State University, he served as Assistant Professor of Music/Music Education at Western Montana College in Dillon.

Prior to earning his Ph.D., Henley was Director of Bands at Wahlert High School in Dubuque, Iowa; Instructor of Tuba at Clark College in Dubuque, Iowa; Director of Bands at Chadron City Schools in Chadron, Nebraska; and Director of Bands with the Belle Fourche Independent School District in Belle Fourche, South Dakota.

Bob Holt and his music are the genuine article, the real thing. His self taught authenticity has evolved over time from listening and continually trying new ways of doing things to get the sounds he wanted and the skills he needed to play "old time" music. What he learned the hard way, he now teaches students so they don't need to experiment the way he did.

Growing up in Ava, Missouri where he still lives, Bob Holt remembers staying with his grandmother on her farm since the age of 4 when his folks went to work. She kept wild black honey bees which "would get you if they got stirred up a little bit" and dominecker roosters which were "mean as suckers." So he stayed inside and played her phonograph, a big Victrola with a cabinet console and stacks of records everywhere. Since his grandpa had died and his grandma left him to pretty much entertain himself, "that old Victrola became my baby sitter."

Many of the tunes he plays today were ingrained in his head long before he could play anything. His dad would whistle them or he heard them on his Grandma's Victrola or the radio. He first played the harmonica and, later, when his dad thought he was old enough he bought him a fiddle. "It's always been the old tunes that I liked best." Most were the ones his dad whistled but didn't know the names. "I probably learned most of the tunes that were played here locally, just by my dad's whistling." Later when he started playing with other people, they told him the names.

Many of the tunes he plays today had their origin in the Appalachian Mountains and the British Isles. "I have never had enough ego to really try to be a showman. I don't like to play concerts or get up on stage and I never did play in fiddle contests for that same reason. This is why I prefer playing for dances."

And playing for those dances has taken him to the Smithsonian and to a performance for the president's wife in Washington, D.C. It has also won him an award from the National Endowment for the Arts. His recording on a Rounder CD titled "Gotta Little Home to Go To" is part of the North American Traditions Series.

Bill McCandless is a professor of music at Central Missouri State University, where he teaches theory, organ, and piano. He is also organist and choir director at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Warrensburg. He earned his BM and MA degrees from Central Missouri State University and his Ph.D. from Indiana University in Bloomington. A long-time member of MMTA, McCandless has served the organization as editor, theory chair, treasurer, secretary, president, and, most recently, collegiate artist auditions chair.

Michael Murray is Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Music Theory at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield. He holds degrees in composition from the Catholic University of America and the University of Cincinnati. Murray was previously on the faculties of Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas, and Loyola University in New Orleans.

Martha Longmire is the general director of the Civic Opera Theater of Kansas City. She is a professor of music emeritus of the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where she taught voice for 32 years. A student of the famed Lotte Lehmann and John CharlesThomas, she has performed extensively as a soloist in opera, oratorio and symphony productions, including the Metropolitan Opera Auditions and the Music Teachers National Association. Her students have also merited acclaim, singing with symphonies and opera companies worldwide.

Marilyn Lowe holds degrees from Knox College and Indiana University where she studied piano under Menahem Pressler. A former pianist with the Fine Arts Trio, her early career focused on performance as a soloist and as a collaborative pianist. Lowe has taught piano, music theory, and composition at the college level and at present is an independent piano teacher. Her students continue to receive high honors in local, state, and national competitions in piano performance and music composition. Active in professional organizations, Lowe served as president of the Missouri Music Teachers Association, as treasurer of the Springfield Area Arts Council, and as a founding member of the Springfield Area Music Teachers Association and the Springfield Piano Teachers Forum. She served as a member of the Committee on Technique, Movement, and Wellness for the World Piano Pedagogy Conference.

Since 1992 Lowe has studied and applied extensively Edwin E. Gordon's concept of audiation, which is synonymous with Gordon's Music Learning Theory. The outgrowth of this sustained effort is a piano method based on the premise that it is important from the beginning of keyboard study to establish ways of thinking about music, listening to music, studying music, creating and improvising music, and performing music that build on audiation. Significant influences on the thought processes leading toward developing this approach and creating the supporting piano materials include Nadia Boulanger, Murray Baylor, Menahem Pressler, Walter Robert, Dorothy Taubman, and Edwin E. Gordon

MMTA HISTORICAL DATA

The Missouri Music Teachers Association was organized in 1895 at the MTNA annual conference in St. Louis. In the following year, after MMTA had become affiliated with MTNA, a state conference was held in Sedalia. State conferences in the early years included performances by teachers and their pupils, a number of papers read and discussed, and concerts of American music. In 1962, MMTA established a program of commissioning works by Missouri composers.
