Conference Chair’s Welcome
Welcome to the 2016 CMEA Bay Section Winter Conference. Thank you
for your commitment to music education by choosing to attend the conference. We can all agree that these are uncertain times for so many educators;
for this reason, I recognize how each of you is dedicated to providing your
students and your communities with the highest level of education in the
arts. Your tireless and sincere efforts are commendable. Thank you for all
that you do.
The Bay Section Conference is a terrific opportunity for each of us to not
only recharge our “teaching batteries” while attending the vast array of
sessions that are presented at conference but it is also an opportunity to
connect with colleagues we see regularly as well as those that we rarely
get a chance to see. In addition, Bay Section veteran educators have the
opportunity to mentor our newest teachers into our community of
advocacy. I hope that you will all be able to go back into your classrooms on Monday morning feeling
recharged with new philosophies to ponder as well as strategies that you can begin to implement.
The conference would not be possible without the efforts of your Bay Section Special Representatives,
Assistant Representatives and Performance Group Managers: Craig Bryant and Efrain Hinajosa, Band; Bruce
Lengacher, Lisa Jouaneh, Anthony Arnold and Paul Lorigan, Choral; Sandra Lewis, Brant Nishida, and Cheryl
Yee Glass, Orchestra; Keith Johnson, Jazz, Dr. Danielle Gaudry, Higher Ed; Dr. John Calloway, Multicultural; Zack Pitt-Smith, Classroom/General Music; Jeff Morton, Technology; Orrin Cross, Adjudication;
Heidi Cross, Publications/Tempo Editor, and Lindsey Ferreira, Public Relations. All of these people have been
working diligently to provide you with sessions that are sure to be inspirational and educational.
Special thanks to our host, Tim Harris of Chabot College and to the students of Chabot for all of their
work preparing for and working at the conference. We are most appreciative for their warm hospitality and
dedicated service.
On behalf of the Bay Section Board I’d like to invite everyone to join us at the Wine & Cheese Reception

and Sight Reading Evaluation
and Score Sheets
Band
This year there are big changes to how groups are being
evaluated at all CMEA Bay Section festivals. This roundtable style discussion will focus on presenting the changes made to CMEA Jazz Festival evaluations that include a
focus on style, improvisation, feel, and sight reading. We
encourage all members who attend CMEA Jazz Festivals
to attend this session to become better informed about
the new adjudication system to better prepare students
for festival performances. Please bring your questions!
8:30 – 9:20 • ROOM 1906
Terri Knight, San Ramon Unified School District
Creating and supporting young oboe players is an important part of the job for band directors. Join Terri Knight
as she demonstrates techniques for helping start young
oboe players in your band. A focus of this clinic will be
on helping switch students to oboe from another instrument. Leave with ideas, resources, and encouragement
to begin building stronger double reed players at your
school. From selecting the best students to “switch”,
choosing instruments and reeds, and developing good
fundamentals for a characteristic tone, this is a clinic not
to be missed.
Electronics In Live Music
Dr. Eric Schultz, Chabot College
This session will focus on the use of live electronics in
performance. Case studies will include a demonstration
of the electronics for Mason Bates’ “Chicago 2012” for
band, in which pre-made sound files are played during
the performance. The playback controllers of Ableton
Live will be showcased.

Keith Johnson, El Cerrito High School,
CMEA Bay Section Jazz Representative
As CMEA is advocating to rework state laws around
mandates for music education, it’s time to begin conversations with your school board, administrators, and community around building your music program, K-12. This
workshop will focus on what music education should
look like and how to advocate for a strong educational
model. Common Core implementation, Cross-Curricular education, and addressing a diversity of needs will
be built into this model. Expand your elementary music
program with lessons that reach across the curriculum
and grade levels. We’ll bridge the gap for our secondary
students whom have missed years of education in music.

Bruce C. Lengacher, Acalanes High School,
CMEA Bay Section Choral Representative
CMEA Bay Section will be rolling out the new Choral
Festival performance evaluations and score sheets at
this season’s festivals. This session will explain the scale,
classification process, and new score sheets. Attendees
will have the opportunity to apply the evaluation scale
to several examples. New proposed sight reading procedures, evaluation scale, and score sheet will also be introduced. There will be ample time for questions on both
of these topics.

You’ve Got Your Keys –
Now What?
Chavonta Edington, Diablo Vista MS
Diana Walker, Dougherty Valley HS
This interactive presentation offers simple classroom
management tools for your teaching toolbox to help
you through those first years of teaching. Topics include
setting yourself up for success with procedures and routines, behavior interventions specifically designed for the
music classroom, and resources for daily application.
This session will invigorate your love for teaching with
new strategies for success that you can use tomorrow.
The Laptop Orchestra
Dr. Bruno Ruviaro, Santa Clara University
Laptop Orchestras are a fun mix of performance ensemble, electronic music classroom, and research platform. As
an ensemble, students create original compositions and
perform them electronically, with the goal of presenting
a public concert at the end of the term. As a classroom
environment, laptop orchestra students are constantly
learning novel digital tools for musical expression (software and hardware), as well as familiarizing themselves
with electronic music theory as it directly relates to practice. Finally, as a research platform, the laptop orchestra
introduces students to cutting edge tools and topics of
investigation in the field of computer music. Based on
the experience of SCLOrk (the Santa Clara Laptop Orchestra, created in 2012), this session will demonstrate
musical compositions, software and hardware tools, and
teaching strategies commonly used.
9:30 – 10:50 • BUFFINGTON THEATER/P.A.C.
Steven Hendee, Castro Valley High School
Bring your instrument and play as Steven Hendee directs this year’s Reading Band. New and classic repertoire
will be featured along side music with a twist, “novelties”
that you might not hear during a typical reading session.
Serious musicians are welcome, but be sure to bring your
sense of humor and maybe a whistle, quack or a honk.
Music is graciously furnished by Ashli Rulien of J.W. Pepper.
Keith Terry, Director of Crosspulse and
the International Body Music Festival
Using the oldest instrument on the planet – the human
body – we clap, slap, snap, step and vocalize our way
through some very fun and funky, original and traditional rhythmic music. “Body Music” is an effective
way of internalizing rhythmic work, which enhances the
development of time, timing, phrasing, listening skills,
independence, coordination, and ensemble awareness.
We will explore a variety of rhythmic systems and concepts from around the world, including polyrhythms,
crosspulses, polymeters, phasing, half time/double time,
and more. It is a useful tool for musicians, dancers and
movers of all kinds, actors, DJs, and film editors – anyone interested in deepening their rhythmic skills. Wear
comfortable clothing and clean sneakers or jazz shoes.
No previous experience necessary. (www.crosspulse.com)
11:00 a.m.

sound, articulation, musicality, blend, balance, and intonation. Clarinet Fusion will also share strategies to keep
your lower voices engaged, and a list fun of pieces to encourage growth from all players. Be sure to check out

Intro To Jazz Improv:
A Hands On Approach!
Dr. Aaron Lington,
San José State University
Teaching students about jazz improvisation is a challenge
for many, especially for teachers that have limited
experience. This session focuses on providing teachers of
all levels with a basic approach to teaching jazz improvisation in an ensemble setting, using a handful of jazz
standards and live demonstrations. The basics of important
elements including melody, harmony, rhythm, style, and
intent will also be addressed. Attendees are encouraged

Poetic Calculations:
East Indian Rhythms For the
American Music Classroom
Jim Santi Owen,
Park Day School and Ali Akbar College of Music
For thousands of years, India’s percussion traditions
have nurtured the perfect marriage of mathematics and
poetry – “beautiful calculations.” Indian drummers recite
quick-tongued, vocal percussion syllables through the
onomatopoeic languages of India’s many drums. These
syllables and the math on which they are based guide the
students toward an embodied understanding of complex
rhythmic concepts. Through reciting, clapping, singing,
and stomping, this workshop will show how traditional Indian rhythms can be used in the American music
classroom as a powerful tool for rhythmic training and
igniting your students’ musical creativity.

Highly Qualified Music Teachers!
But Teaching Outside of Your
Area of Expertise? Hmmm…
Norm Dea, Acalanes High School
Loretta McNulty, Stanley Middle School
Casey Jones, Sonoma Valley High School
There is a teacher shortage in California. Told by the administration that you will teach out of your major music area? Told to teach completely outside of your subject
area? Hired to teach at a job that isn’t your forte? What do
you do? Where do you go for help, materials, and advice?
How will you get through this and survive? “I’ve never
taught band!” “I’ve never taught choir!” “I’ve never taught
algebra!” This round table discussion will feature two long
time veteran teachers who have experienced the same situations, as well as a younger teacher new to the profession
dealing with these issues now. Join our panel for a lively
discussion on what they did to make the best of the situation. Questions, group discussion, and sharing to follow.
Blended Learning
Michael Najar, Palo Alto High School

Mentoring Student Teachers
Dr. Wesley J. Watkins IV, Ph.D.,
Founder, The Jazz & Democracy Project®
Nelson Agregado, Itliong-Vera Cruz MS
John Burn, Homestead High School
Michael Boitz, Saratoga High School
®
The Jazz & Democracy Project® (J&D) utilizes jazz as
a metaphor to cultivate a profound understanding of
American democratic ideals. J&D brings American
democracy to life, enriches the study and teaching of
U.S. history, government, civics and culture, and inspires youth to become active, positive contributors to
their communities. J&D founder, “Dr. Wes”, will share
insights on the power of metaphor, integrating the arts at
levels that artists themselves find enlightening, and how
teaching students about the jazz process/aesthetic, is to
teach them about the democratic process.
Would you like to have a student teacher? Have you
had a student teacher and would like more insight to
better meet their needs? Are you currently, or will you
soon be, a student teacher? If so, this is the session for you.
Experienced cooperating teachers Michael Boitz from
Saratoga HS, Nelson Agregado from Itliong-Vera Cruz
MS, formerly Alvarado MS, and John Burn from Homestead HS discuss their expectations and processes for
mentoring student teachers. This session will include
plenty of time for questions, answers and sharing of ideas.

So You Want Me To Sing?
Julie Haydon, Cantare con Vivo, NCAKE
Rita Alway, Aspire Public Schools
Singing is a natural road into music education for older
beginners, but it can be a daunting task for teachers to
choose meaningful repertoire and beginning songs and
activities that will build enthusiasm among students.
Julie Haydon and Rita Alway will present a collection
of accessible songs and skill-building activities for upper
elementary, middle school, and early high school students, that has been successful in their work teaching
music in Oakland schools where students previously had
little singing or general music experience. This interactive
session will also provide helpful ideas for instrumental
music teachers who find themselves teaching in a choral
or general music setting.
8:00 – 8:50 • ROOM 1904
Thinking Outside the Box
Of K-12 Music Education:
Cultural Music In the Classroom
Sofia Fojas, Teacher on Special Assignment,
San Francisco Unified School District
The public school student population is a richly multicultural canvas in which dozens of world languages are
spoken. Instrumental music is not equitably reaching
all of our students. We have to think outside the box in
order to engage our students with high caliber music
education. In this workshop we will explore several different ways to overcome obstacles by using culturally
specific music and instruments as well as cross-cultural
instruction. This workshop will include opportunities
to share your ideas and experiences and explore ways to
implement these ideas in your school or district.

Creating Classrooms We Need:
Educational Technology For
Music Teachers
Chad Zullinger, St. Ignatius College Preparatory
As music teachers we are experiencing changes in education on a scale and depth that requires us to re-imagine
our strategies for the 21st century student. Education is
always striving to find ways to make curriculum relevant
in students’ everyday lives. Have you ever asked yourself these questions: What is a Learning Management
System? Can a Social Network amplify our kids desire
to learn? Can students become creators of their own
content? And finally, can these concepts integrate into a
Music Education curriculum? Absolutely! Come ready to
learn, create and return to your classroom with innovative ideas to enhance your students learning experiences.
Attendees are encouraged to BYOD (Bring Your Own
Device), as this session is interactive.

Lou De La Rosa
Lou De La Rosa is the Director of Choral and Vocal Studies at the Bill &
Leila Cilker School of Art and Design at West Valley College where he
conducts the Chamber Singers and College Chorale. He has taught music
in San José, California for over thirty years, thirteen of which were at Abraham Lincoln High School, a performing arts magnet. Mr. De La Rosa’s
choirs have performed throughout the United States and Europe and have
won first place in choral competitions across the United States.
Lou De La Rosa was named Teacher of the Year at his schools in 1991 and
2002, and in 2010 the West Valley College Academic Senate honored him
with two Faculty Excellence Awards. Mr. De La Rosa has served on the
Board of Directors of multiple professional organizations including CMEA
Bay Section, and presently serves as President for the California chapter of
the American Choral Directors Association.
Mr. De La Rosa has conducted numerous festival and honor choirs throughout California and Nevada. In
addition, he has guest conducted The Santa Clara Chorale, The Winchester Orchestra, and the San José State
University Choraliers in concert with The Rolling Stones on their May 2013 U.S. tour. He prepared the Symphony Silicon Valley Chorale for the West Coast premiere in San José of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, with
250 musicians performing the musical soundtrack to live projection of the movies in two cycles over four days.
As guest chorusmaster of the Symphony Silicon Valley Chorale in a March 2014 performance of “Carmina
Burana”, his work garnered the following review by San Francisco Classical Voice: “The choruses outstripped
even the soloists in awesomeness. The SSV Chorale…guest-directed by Lou De La Rosa…enunciated its lyrics
with a clarity that overwhelmed its position far off at the back of the stage… All parts of the choir were superb.”
Mr. De La Rosa is the happily married father of three daughters, all of whom were raised as musicians and
lifelong fans of the World Champion San Francisco Giants.

Kate Francis
Bay Area native Kate Francis grew up in Lafayette and holds a Bachelor of
Music in string pedagogy and viola performance from the University of
Michigan and a Master’s degree in viola performance from San Francisco
State University. It was natural for Ms. Francis to become a music teacher,
as both of her parents are music teachers. Kate has taught grades K-12
orchestra throughout the Bay Area with most of her time at Lincoln Performing Arts High School and Mill Valley Middle School. Kate is currently
the Director of Orchestras at R.J. Fisher Middle School in Los Gatos.

Ms. Francis was awarded the Richard L. Levin Orchestra Educator of the
Year by CMEA.
Aside from teaching, Kate is an active violist in the Bay Area and is Past-President for the California Orchestra

Kara Ravina
Kara Ravina has been teaching elementary, middle, and high school band
and orchestra for the past fifteen years, and is currently a 2015 quarterfinalist for the GRAMMY Foundation’s Teacher of the Year award.
Mrs. Ravina is the Director of Instrumental Music at Las Lomas High
School, in Walnut Creek, California. Under her direction, the bands and
orchestra have received top ratings at numerous festivals including CMEA
festivals, the Campana Jazz Festival, Folsom Jazz Festival, and the Reno Jazz
Festival. In addition to local and regional festivals, Mrs. Ravina’s students
also participate in international travel, including a 2014 trip to the eastern
coast of Spain.
Mrs. Ravina is a 2001 graduate of California State University in Hayward,
where she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in trumpet
performance and an emphasis in music education. While at CSUH, she had the privilege of studying trumpet
with Mr. Jay Rizzetto, and music education methods with Mr. Tim Smith and Dr. Ann Porter. She was also
mentored in jazz by Mr. Dave Eshelman. As a member of multiple jazz ensembles, she has performed with
Allen Vizzutti, Bobby Shew, Gerald Wilson, Ayn Inserto, Maria Schnieder, and the late Louis Bellson and Bob
Brookmeyer.
An advocate for self-guided learning, Mrs. Ravina spends a good deal of time in the classroom teaching her
students to be leaders in their ensembles and to be passionate about making their own musical choices. Her
students take these skills with them as they participate in ensembles outside of the school setting, including
CBDA All-State Ensembles, Contra Costa County Honor Ensembles, SFJazz, JazzSchool Studio Band, Diablo
Wind Symphony, and the Young People’s Symphony Orchestra.
When she is not teaching, Mrs. Ravina spends time with her husband Jason (music director at Pleasanton
Middle School), and their two young children, Jacob and Emily. The Ravina’s are avid SF Giants fans, and love
playing disc golf and being active outdoors.
