"The Slippery Rock University Music Department and the Slippery Rock University Chapter of Pennsylvania Collegiate Music Educators Association would like to invite any high school student to become a music major for a day. Enjoy some time at Slippery Rock University and see what a typical schedule is like for a music major. The day will include a mixture of classes, ensembles, and a chance to talk to students and faculty. The spring day is March 26th, 2019. 

If you are an educator interested in bringing a group of students to SRU, ensure that each student completes the online registration form so that we may plan appropriately. Contact Dr. Melago for any questions.

MODERN BAND / LITTLE KIDS ROCK SUMMIT

2/3/2019

 
Dave Deitz, who is PMEA’s liaison to PDE, attended the national Modern Band/Little Kids Rock Summit last summer, and during the 2018 PMEA summer conference, he approached members of the PMEA leadership about implementing it as a state-wide program in PA.  (For those of you who are not familiar with Modern Band, it is a free curriculum that uses popular music styles in a sound first and then reading approach to teaching music.  It can be used with anything from rock bands to ukulele ensembles.)  PMEA came on board with this idea, meaning that PMEA would be the owners of this curriculum for the state of PA, and it would be free for members to use it.​
