SUMMARY:NAfME Webinar: Teaching and Exploring Hip Hop
DESCRIPTION:This session focuses on using Hip Hop Culture and its impact as a teaching tool in the classroom. During the session\, participants will explore and discuss various ways of using Hip Hop in the classroom\, models and approaches to integrating Hip Hop into the curriculum\, interdisciplinary approaches to lesson creation\, and tactics for research gathering and use of information. This session hopes to give its participants a new perspective on Hip Hop as pedagogy and empower educators to use Hip Hop as a teaching tool without having to become an authority on the culture. Participants will begin to envision lesson plans and activities centered on Hip Hop’s place in our society and its impact. When completed\, participants should have greater efficacy in integrating Hip Hop into their teaching and a more profound sense of the possibilities.

SUMMARY:NAfME Event: Sensory Safety for Students- Predictable Routines in Instrumental Music
DESCRIPTION:Presented through the NYSSMA Neurodiversity and Accessibility Committee \nSensory Safety for Students: Predictable Routines in Instrumental Music\, presented by Krysta Mirsik DePuy \n\nFollowing the success of the pilot of NYSSMA’s first Academy Series during the 2024 – 2025 school year\, NYSSMA will further enhance and support New York state collegiate and in-service members by providing a second round of virtual professional development focused on evidence-based strategies for accessible music education. The focus of this virtual series is to provide music educators at all levels with strategies to engage and make high-quality music with all students\, specifically students with disabilities. \nFor this cycle\, there will be four 90-minute sessions offered on a Saturday throughout the school year\, provided by multiple clinicians to offer various perspectives. All sessions will have a recurring theme of using a strength-based model and asset-based teaching\, while making high-quality and standards-based music for all. CTLE credits will be provided for in-service members who need it. \nWhile last year’s focus was specifically aimed for collegiate members\, this year’s NYSSMA Academy will have a focus for engaging music teachers at all levels.

SUMMARY:Portland Youth Philharmonic: Flames of Transformation
DESCRIPTION:This concert is all about transformation\, through music and through personal growth. Jessica Meyer’s Turbulent Flames brings raw energy and emotional depth. PYP is proud to be part of the national consortium that commissioned this bold new work\, spotlighting a composer whose voice deserves far more recognition. \nThe program also features Leo Trajano\, winner of the 2025 PYP Concerto Competition. A 17-year-old violinist from Hillsboro\, Oregon\, Leo is a member of the Philharmonic Orchestra and has distinguished himself for his expressive playing and technical poise. His musicianship and dedication embody the spirit of PYP’s training—developing young artists who bring passion\, precision\, and individuality to every performance. Leo will take center stage as soloist for Max Bruch‘s Scottish Fantasy. \nHoward Hanson’s Symphony No. 3\, a cinematic and lyrical American masterpiece\, returns to the PYP stage after many years. Hattner calls it “due for a comeback\,” as it offers a stunning platform for the orchestra’s expressive range.
