Session Title: Gradeless Assessment in the Music Classroom
Session Description: Mayfield Secondary School is working through a gradeless and feedback-based assessment strategy to improve student learning and growth as opposed to numerical values that can be very subjective as it is. Students are able to conference with the teacher at the end of the semester so as to “pitch” a final grade for themselves, based not solely on assessments, but also on improvement throughout the semester in a variety of topic areas. This creates advocacy skills for students in terms of advocating for themselves, as well as for their global citizenship skills and passion for artistic growth.

Session Title: Going Beyond the Blues – Ideas for Developing Improvisation in Jazz
Session Description: This clinic will focus on developing improvisation skills in young jazz musicians that go beyond the traditional blues scale. Too frequently the standard blues scale is the only thing in the toolbox of the beginning soloist, leading to solos that all sound alike and frequently don’t fit the context of the song being performed. Alternate scales, melodic ideas, phrasing, and listening for style will all be topics of conversation and demonstration.
