SUMMARY:Grant Event - Teaching Adult Piano Students
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Rogue Valley\nPresenter: Andrew D’Antonio\, NCTM\nProgram Description: Most pedagogical training and materials tend to focus on kids\, teens\, and budding professionals as students. However\, many people take up or resume piano study as adults\, without any intention of having a musical career. Adults students require a different approach to technique\, repertoire\, and even lesson format than what is often standard for students under 18. As a specialist teaching adult amateur pianists at all levels\, Andrew will share strategies\, trends\, and teaching techniques for teachers to feel confident and prepared for working with adult students. \nAbout Andrew D’Antonio: Andrew D’Antonio\, NCTM\, is a pianist and teacher based in Portland\, Oregon. He has performed throughout North America and Europe\, primarily as a soloist and chamber musician. He holds a masters of music in collaborative piano and music history from the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, a masters of science in teaching in early childhood special education from Fordham University\, and a bachelors of music in piano performance from Pacific Lutheran University. In Massachusetts\, he was a faculty member at Community Music School of Springfield\, Bay Path University\, and Smith College. Andrew moved to Portland in 2019 and teaches out of his home studio. He is the President for East Portland District and the OMTA State Membership Chair.

SUMMARY:Grant Event - Decoding a Baroque Score
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Rogue Valley\nPresenter: Deborah Cleaver\nProgram Description: In Decoding a Baroque Score\, we will analyze genre\, articulation\, ornamentation\, and rhythmic  expression in works of beginning\, intermediate\, and advanced pieces from the Baroque era. Special emphasis will be placed on how to communicate to students an approach for learning a new work. Because the notation in Baroque music is the least informative of all the styles\, we need concepts to understand when and why we articulate\, appropriate ornamentation\, and how to decipher the complex rhythms.\nAbout Deborah Cleaver: Deborah Ingram Cleaver holds a Master of Music degree in piano performance from Boston University where she studied with the renowned pianist and pedagogue Leonard Shure. After finishing her degree\, she worked closely with Shure as his teaching assistant at New England Conservatory.\nMs. Cleaver has also spent many years studying the performance practice of the Baroque and Classic periods with such luminaries as Sandra Rosenblum\, Edward Parmentier\, and Elisabeth Wright. Her broad interests have resulted in lectures for universities and music teachers’ organizations\, ranging from the expressive aspects of Baroque performance practice to the correlation between Romantic literature and music.\nMs. Cleaver teaches at Lewis and Clark College and Reed College as well as in her private studio. She also organizes seminars three times each year for the Portland/Golandsky Institute community and is a past president of OMTA Portland District. She has been a faculty member of the Golandsky Institute since 2005 and teaches at their annual Summer Symposium. Previous teaching positions have been at Willamette University\, St. Andrews College\, and the South Shore Conservatory in Boston.\nAn avid performer\, she has appeared with the Fear No Music Ensemble\, the DeRosa Chamber Players\, Cascadia Composers\, Friends of Rain\, and the Makrokosmos Project. She has had performances aired on the classical music programs Played in Oregon and All Classical Portland. In addition\, she has given lectures\, workshops\, and recitals at Portland State University\, Eastern Washington University\, and for Oregon and Washington music teachers’ associations\, and is a frequent adjudicator throughout the Northwest.

SUMMARY:Grant Event - Stepping into the Light: Thoughts on Performance Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Rogue Valley\nPresenter: Dr. Diane Baxter\nProgram Description: Why are my hands cold and clammy? Why is my heart pounding? Did you just say something to me? No\, I can’t just relax! Performance anxiety is a complex topic that involves how we think\, how we feel\, and how we behave. The results of it may range from mildly discomforting to completely paralyzing. We all want to get it right when it matters most\, whether we are performers\, family members\, or teachers. All of us have something to gain by understanding what happens as we strive to excel. This talk will introduce some of the causes of performance anxiety and will offer some tips on how to do your best under duress. \nAbout Dr. Diane Baxter: Dr. Diane Baxter\, pianist\, educator and consultant\, is the editor of The Oregon Musician. She recently retired as Professor of Music at Western Oregon University where she  received the Faculty Honors Award for Outstanding Creativity and the Pastega Award for Excellence in Teaching. Diane taught studio piano and courses in Ethnomusicology\, Performance Anxiety\, and Research Methods. Dr. Baxter has adjudicated the Woodley Festival in Berkshire\, England on several occasions. She adjudicates for all ages\, and all levels. Diane consults and performs far and wide\, often giving workshops on doing our best under pressure. “The Science of Artistry: The Fourth String” was published in Clavier Companion in Nov/Dec 2013. Diane’s article\, “Ethnomusicology and Alchemy” was published in the April/May 2020 edition of American Music Teacher.  Diane performs and teaches in France each summer\, and in 2018 she began an international annual workshop on the shores of Loch Etive in the Scottish Highlands. The focus is on performance success and doing our best when it matters most. The workshop is thriving. Closer to home\, recently Diane started writing the program notes for Corvallis Piano International and she continues to perform as principal keyboardist for the Newport Symphony.  She lives\, writes\, plays and thinks in Brownsville\, Oregon.
