General
Information on Upcoming
Conferences
During the
upcoming academic year TI:ME will present its Ninth Annual National Music
Technology Conference, will continue its presentation of both Regional and
State Conferences, and will present development and outreach activities at
various state MEA conferences throughout the nation.
As always, the
TI:ME conferences will bring together the nation’s most outstanding music
technology educator specialists with leading music software developers, MIDI
hardware manufacturers, and music technology merchants to present outstanding
music technology conferences designed with the music curriculum in mind. TI:ME
conferences cater to all levels of teacher comfort, from beginner to
intermediate to advanced, and to all types of music technology applications
(see PROPOSAL CATEGORIES below).
National
Conferences include an intensive pre-conference all-technology experience and
generally offer up to 100 sessions.
TI:ME sessions
are open to all music educators and interested musicians and consist of
lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on training sessions. Opportunities abound
to discuss music technology strategies and techniques with local and regional
experts, as well as nationally recognized educators such as Tom Rudolph, David Mash, Dennis Mauricio, Floyd Richmond, Steven
Estrella, and Dave Peters; with outstanding corporate representatives such as
Lee Whitmore, Tom Johnson, Larry Marchese, and representatives from Shure,
Yamaha, eMedia, Technics, ECS, plus many others; and with outstanding guest
speakers.
We look forward
to seeing you at one or more of these extraordinary conferences whether you are
new to TI:ME or a seasoned music technology veteran. We work AROUND THE CLOCK for you!
