SUMMARY:Grant Event - Making Syllabus Relevant: Using OMTA Syllabus Skills to Play Music
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Blue Mountain\nPresenter: Dianne Davies \nProgram Description: Dianne Davies uses a series of folksongs and Christmas carols to teach all levels of the OMTA Syllabus chord progressions and put them into music. The right hand melodies are given in scale degree numbers and the left hand accompaniment is given in Roman Numerals following each level of syllabus. This way students easily transpose the ideas into all keys and understand the concepts. \nPresenter Bio: Dianne Davies is a solo and collaborative pianist\, composer\, published arranger and instructor. Her music envelopes the emotions of love\, loss\, depression and joy to sonic representations of endangered species in the Amazon Rainforest. Her shows range from the dramatic and deeply personal that include drama\, live visual art and dance\, to the far reaches of slapstick comedy that are accessible to a wide range of audiences. Alongside a full piano teaching studio\, she chairs the MTNA State Composition Competition and is the Co-President of the Tualatin Valley District. In 2021\, her Romantic Christmas Suite\, an amalgam of Chopin nocturnes and traditional Christmas carols\, was published by Fred Bock Publishing Company under the umbrella of Hal Leonard. In 2023\, her latest arrangement\, Impressionist Christmas Suite\, received Editor’s Choice from J.W. Pepper and Dianne earned National Certification through MTNA. She holds memberships in: OMTA\, MTNA\, NACUSA\, and CFAMC. Dianne is a self published composer with ASCAP under her own company name\, 7Fold Musiq.
