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.​
