The President’s Page
Once again we say goodbye to summer, and look ahead to another studio
year sure to be filled with excitements, joys and certainly a few challenges.
An outstanding way to inspire and revitalize your teaching in the new year
is to attend our upcoming NCMTA State Conference, October 27 – 30th
at beautiful Salem College. Our conference chair, Diane Blanchard, with
the support of our onsite host, Dr. Thomas Swenson, is planning another
great conference that will include many opportunities for professional
growth, new discoveries in music education, exhilarating concerts, MTNA
competitions, and of course, great socializing and networking with your
NCMTA friends and colleagues. And, I hope you’ll take this opportunity
to invite a local colleague to join us for this 53rd annual conference, so you
can introduce them firsthand to the many rewarding benefits of membership in NCMTA.
We are especially pleased to welcome Marina Lomazov as our 2011 NCMTA
Conference Artist. Her performance on Friday evening will be followed
on Saturday and Sunday with sessions on the Russian Piano School, a brief
overview of methodology, and preparing students for college auditions.
We’ll also enjoy sessions by Robert Vandall, beloved teacher, composer
and arranger, from Alfred Publishing. Another exciting highlight this year
will be the performance of the Oakton Six Piano Ensemble from Chicago,
a performance not to be missed! Please check out the full schedule of
sessions and performances in this issue, as Diane has prepared a banquet
of delectable sessions to entice you to attend this outstanding conference.
Hats off to Diane for her dedicated work over many months in preparing
for this upcoming weekend!
As I wind down my office as NCMTA President, I want to extend my sincerest appreciation to my NCMTA Board colleagues and the entire membership
for your support and understanding, during a very difficult time in my life.
I will be forever grateful for the many expressions of sympathy and compassion on the loss of my husband last year. As members of NCMTA, we
are not only dedicated teachers, but caring professionals who form a unique
support system for one another. I am so thankful to be the recipient of the
best that NCMTA has to offer. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of
serving you and the needs of our membership. I wish you all the best in
the coming year, and look forward to seeing you in October!
With warmest greetings,
Liz LaBelle, NCTM
President, NCMTA

Directions to Salem College
It would be best to follow the directions below. The physical address
of Salem College (601 South Church Street) will bring you to the
historic square, not the Fine Arts Center. If you are using a GPS I
suggest trying to get to the intersection of Salem Avenue and Stadium
Drive (off of US 52).
From West of Winston-Salem: Take I-40 East to Winston-Salem; exit onto Business 40. Take
the Salem College/Old Salem exit. At the end of the ramp, turn
left. Travel one-half block on South Liberty Street. Turn left on to
Cemetery Street; follow it until it ends at Salem Avenue and turn
right. At the intersection of Salem Avenue and Stadium Drive,
turn right into the Salem Fine Arts Center entrance; proceed to
the bottom of the hill.
From Greensboro/East of Winston-Salem:
Take I-40 West to Winston-Salem; exit onto Business 40. Take
the Old Salem/Salem College exit, which is US 52 South. Go a
quarter-mile before taking the Salem College/Winston-Salem
State/Stadium Drive exit. At the end of the ramp, turn right onto
Stadium Drive. At the top of the hill, go straight into the Salem
Fine Arts Center entrance; proceed to the bottom of the hill.
Our conference schedule for Friday morning begins at the Home
Moravian Church. NCMTA is being treated to a free behind-thescenes tour of it and also the Tannenberg at the Reception/Visitors
Center. The address of the Home Moravian Church is 529 South
Church Street Winston-Salem, NC 27101.

‘Organs in Old Salem’
This tour begins in the newly restored sanctuary of the Home Moravian Church
where we will be given the opportunity to step back in time. We’ll be treated to
a performance on the Aeolian-Skinner organ with a program that highlights a
commissioned work on a famous Moravian hymn. Next, our group will be given
directions to the close-by Old Salem Reception/Visitors Center. Here, the tour
will continue with a performance on the 1798 restored Tannenberg organ. North
Carolinians may not realize the treasure they possess in this instrument; it “…
is the largest of Tannenberg’s organs in existence and is the earliest surviving
two-manual (two-keyboard) organ built in the United States.” (Our State, 2004)
These free, ‘behind-the-scene’ tours and programs will be presented to us by
Mary Lou Kapp Peeples, organist.

2:00 pm – 2:50 pm..................SPLIT SESSIONS
‘The Sinfonias of Johann Sebastian Bach: Teaching and Performing these
Miniature Masterpieces’
The Sinfonias or Three-Part Inventions are exquisite studies in counterpoint

Inventions to the Well-Tempered Clavier. They are also a joy to play and a
delight to unravel. This session will involve discussion and performance of
these beautiful and profound works.

Technique’
The Alexander Technique helps musicians perform with greater ease and
efficiency by identifying habits of misuse and replacing them with ‘body
friendly’ ones. Learn what to begin to look for when a body is in balance
and how to begin to release tension so you can perform better. Please dress
comfortably (shorts to wear under a skirt for floor work if you are wearing a
skirt), and bring a yoga mat if you have one.

Musicians as Entrepreneurs: Recognizing and
Utilizing What We Already Know
Dr. Savage will identify how we, as musicians, have already developed
many of the skills needed to make great entrepreneurs. However, many of us
may not recognize that we have such skills. In this session, many practical
entrepreneurial skills will be identified and applied to standard teaching and
performance situations. These skills are vital to a wide range of applications
across our profession such as embracing new developments within our field,
building a studio, increasing audience attendance, and helping our field move
forward.

‘Studying Piano with Vladimir Horowitz’
Although Vladimir Horowitz did not actually venture into piano teaching until
the summer of 1944 when he selected the sixteen-year-old prodigy Byron
Janis to be his first piano student, he was vitally interested in piano pedagogy
throughout his long career. Using primarily unpublished materials from the
Horowitz Papers housed at the Yale Music Library and from the Ukrainian
18
and Russian archives, Dr. Sherrill Martin shares new insights, not only into
Horowitz’s own training in Russia, but into his artistic and technical goals for
successful teaching from the earliest to the most advanced levels of musicianship.

Oakton Six
The Oakton Six Piano Ensemble is a

highly selective audition process. The
ensemble performs repertoire from the
classical, ragtime, and popular periods
that is transcribed for the six pianos by its founder and conductor Glenna
Sprague, Professor and Coordinator of Music at Oakton Community College in
Des Plaines, Illinois. The rich, layered sound of the Oakton Six Piano Ensemble
is comparable to that of an orchestra, with each member playing a different part
of a composition as the melody transfers from pianist to pianist. Critics hail
the Six Piano Ensemble as “extraordinary”, “unique”, and “musical”.
22
The artistic success of the Oakton Six Piano Ensemble has resulted in prominent
concert engagements across the United States and Europe, including the College Music Society International Conference in Vienna, Austria; Music Teachers National Association National Conference in Atlanta (GA) and Spokane
(WA) as well as numerous MTA state conferences; National Group Piano and
Piano Pedagogy Forum at University of Oklahoma; National Conference on
Keyboard Pedagogy, Civic Opera House and Navy Pier in Chicago; the Hawaii
Music Teachers Association in Honolulu and the Music Teachers’ Association
of California (MTAC) State Convention in Los Angeles.
In 2008, renowned composer Robert Vandall created a special piece for the
ensemble entitled Oakton Toccata and published by Alfred Publishing Company. It is one of the pieces the ensemble will perform during the session. The
group has recently released a compact disc, Oakton Six Piano Ensemble: Live
in Concert II.
An active performer, clinician, and adjudicator in the Chicago area, Glenna
Sprague is Professor and Coordinator of Music at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, Illinois, where she teaches piano, class piano and the Six
Piano Ensemble.
She has served as a panelist at the GP3 conference, the National Conference
on Piano Pedagogy, Illinois Arts Council, and the music advisory panel of
the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Ms. Sprague has been published in
Keyboard Companion and American Music Teacher. Professor Sprague is a
magna cum laude graduate of the Conservatory of Music at Capital University,
and received her Master of Music in piano performance from Ohio University,
where she studied with Gail Berenson.

Commissioned Composer
John Supko
Composer John Supko was born in 1980 on Long
Island, New York. Currently Assistant Professor of
Music at Duke University, he holds degrees from
the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music
(BM) and Princeton University (MFA & PhD). He
is a recipient of the Fulbright (2002) and Georges
Lurcy (2007) fellowships, both for Paris, France, where he studied at the
Ecole Normale de Musique. He has won numerous prizes and grants, among
them the BMI Student Composer Award, two ASCAP/Morton Gould Young
Composers Awards (including the 2008 Leo Kaplan Award), the Grand
Prize of the National Young Composers Competition, the Perkins Prize of
the Princeton University Music Department and a Commissioning Music/
USA Meet the Composer commission. His work has been published in
collaborative editions with the poet Philippe Denis by Collection Mémoires
(Paris) and, most recently, by Harpo & (Marseille). Current projects include
a collaboration with media artist Bill Seaman (S_traits) and an opera on
the lives of Paul and Jane Bowles with poet Karren LaLonde Alenier (How
Many Midnights). DESCRIPTION OF THIS CITY
Commissioned by the North Carolina Music Teachers Association in
conjunction with the Music Teachers National Association, This City is
a work for pianist Mabel Kwan and generative electronics. There is no
printed score; rather, the pianist plays music generated for her in real
time, which appears on a computer screen. Each instance of generated
material is unique, ensuring that no two performances of This City will be
the same, although the piece will always be recognizable as itself. This
‘constant identity’ in the midst of ‘constant variety’ is ensured by the careful
selection of the harmonic materials with which the music is constructed.
The computer will never generate materials from harmonies not specified
in advance by the composer. Moreover, the way the computer generates
materials—regarding, for example, the length and contour of melodic
phrases, textural density, rhythmic complexity—has been determined in
advance by the composer to ensure that each generation is acceptable and
representative of the composer’s aesthetic. This City represents, in part,
the navigation of the composer’s musical mind by software.
This City is also a partial setting of Robert Fitterman’s sprawling, multi25
book poem, Metropolis XXX (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire),
read by Nathan Wilson. Nathan’s voice is diffused among and mixed with
both the material generated by the computer and atmospheric sounds drawn
from field recordings.
There is no beginning to This City in the traditional sense: no introduction,
no exposition, no development, no indicators from the composer (“This is
the main idea! Listen to how I develop it!”) You simply turn the software on
and the pianist starts playing. This City can sustain and, indeed, encourages
many levels of attention on the part of listener, from focused, intense
listening (think Bach fugues) to daydreaming (“Maybe I should have been
an architect...” “I wonder if we need milk...”) and everything in between.
There is also no end to This City in much the same way that there is no
choreographed end to the experience of viewing a painting: you turn it off
or leave the room as you would walk away from a canvas.
