"Dynamic" Programs: Topics in Secondary Music

Education 9-12

Instructor: Rob Westerberg

For the veteran and newer teacher alike, this course will journey through four days of discussing High School Music Education from every angle. Topics ranging from the philosophical to the practical, from the big picture to the smallest details, if it happens in the secondary music program, we'll be tackling it! Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences and expertise while simultaneously challenging themselves to look at tried and true methods in a new way. Participants will be encouraged to develop new techniques and approaches, designed specifically for their own programs. Instruction will include hands on experience with Smartmusic technology.

Rob Westerberg is a 20 year veteran of Music Education, having taught in all three northern New England states and serving two of them as MENC state President.

Mr. Westerberg holds a B.M. in Music Education from Keene State College and M.M. in Choral Conducting from the University of Maine. In 2000, the New Hampshire Music Educators Association nationally recognized him as one of their "accomplished" Music Teachers and he has additionally worked with thousands of students as a guest conductor of nearly 50 choirs throughout New England.
