SUMMARY:Grant Event -- Teaching Rhythm with the Child's Brain in Mind
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Hillsboro Area\nPresenter: Joseph Hoffman\nProgram Description: Many developing pianists struggle to play rhythms accurately and with a steady pulse\, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Learn new fun and effective tools for teaching rhythm that align with modern cognitive science of how young minds learn. \nAbout Joseph Hoffman: Joseph Hoffman\, founder of Hoffman Academy and creator of the Hoffman Method for Piano\, began playing piano when he was 6 years old. A YouTube personality\, Kodaly-certified music educator\, and former faculty member at BYU’s School of Music\, Mr. Hoffman has dedicated his professional life to developing an innovative new piano method along with a host of online tools\, games\, and resources for students and teachers that make learning piano fun. His online piano lessons have reached over 200\,000 students across 115 countries\, transforming the way piano education is accessed worldwide. \nJoseph Hoffman is also active as a composer and conductor\, and his original works have been heard in many performance halls. From 2011-2013\, Mr. Hoffman served as orchestra conductor of the Portland Ensign Choir and Orchestra. Mr. Hoffman regularly serves as an adjudicator of piano festivals and events\, and provides training to piano teachers on the Hoffman Method. He has created a collection of popular song arrangements for beginning through late elementary piano students\, “Mr. Hoffman’s Popular Hits for Piano\,” published by Hal Leonard\, and a vocal pedagogy book in collaboration with Betty Jeanne Chipman\, “Singing with Mind\, Body\, and Soul\,” published by Wheatmark Press. \nSpecial note: There will be a 30-minute Hillsboro Area District business meeting at 10:00 am\, followed by Joseph Hoffman’s presentation at 10:30 am.

SUMMARY:Grant Event -- Point of View: Syllabus as a Teacher\, Syllabus as an Adjudicator
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Eugene\nPresenter: Heidi Evans\, NCTM\nProgram Description: Heidi Evans\, past OMTA Syllabus Chair\, presents a session on tips for using the OMTA Syllabus program in the piano studio. This talk covers benefits and resources of the OMTA Syllabus program\, how to manage teaching the skills and repertoire over the course of the year\, which resources are the most valuable (and when NOT to use them)\, and how to choose and prepare repertoire. Heidi balances this talk by sharing what an adjudicator expects to hear in the exam and how to prepare the student for a successful Syllabus experience. \nAbout Heidi Evans: Heidi Evans is a Nationally Certified Teacher with a Master’s Degree from Portland State University where she studied with Harold Gray and Mary Hall Kogen. In her nearly three decades of teaching experience with students of all ages and levels\, she has adjudicated festivals and events around the state since 2005\, was OMTA Syllabus chair for five years\, and currently occupies the position of President of Oregon Music Teachers Association. She recently joined the 8-hand performing quartet\, “Too Grand\,” which has been performing and raising money for scholarships for nearly four decades. Her latest deep dive into piano repertoire research is music by under-represented composers with a focus on pedagogical works. Her ultimate goal is to teach each student to teach themselves\, so that music can be a rewarding lifetime experience.
