n 1857, Thoreau wrotein his journal, "\\'hen Ihear music, I fear no

danger. I am inr-ulnerable.I see no foe. I am related

to the eadiest times, andto the latest". What a

beautiful expression of thepower that keeps us

involved in the teachingprofession through the

39 sometimes hectic springritual of examinations and recitals,although we are aI no doubt wishingwe had more time to reach our goals.S7hen we consider, though, why wedecided to become teachers, the love ofmusic we are sharing s'ith the nextgeneration makes the inevitable prob-lems seem much less daunting. Howfortunate we are to have our provincialassociations and our national one,CFMTA, through which \ve can shareproblems, derive inspiration, increaseour professional knou-ledge, andencourage our young musicians andcomposers.

It has been interesting to see howoften we are able to share mutualsolutions to such thornr- issues as

school credits, professionalism andteacher training. We notv have accredi-tation across the countn' tor ourstudents trying examination. There are

creative teacher traininggroups in several provincesand many workshopsessions often as part ofweekend provincialConventions; share someof these ideas with yourcolleagues in other parts ofthe country through ourmagazine. Each provincehas a unique approach, butthe seeds of new ideas

music to become expendable is indanger of becoming expendable

itself'. \X/hat a resPonsibility that

expresses our role well vzhen she

says, "I would venntre to say that

we owe it to our students to set an

example of living creatively; ... togive them something special tocome away with and keep forever."

Ithough the 2001

CFNITA Conventionseems a long way off, our

B.C. Convention Chair CarolShinkewski has already completeda good deal of preliminary workto establish some of the framework of the event. It has been

many years since B.C. hosted a

national convention and we are alllooking forward to it.

The last week of February was

extremely busy for many of ourRichmond Branch members - theywere involved with the FifthAnnuai Pacific Piano Competi-tion. This year's adjudicatots forthe competition were Canzdranpianist Angela Cheng and theResident Conductor of theVancouver Svmphony, ClydeN{itchell.

Our Professional DevelopmentCommittee has added a number ofnew tapes to the Rental Library.The committee also gathers

information for a Calendar ofEvents which will be published ineach Provincial Newsletter.

The B.C. Provincial Associationhas revised and clarified its various\Iembership categories includingthe Student Teacher Auxiliary.The association has just disbursedrwo scholarships from its AwardsFund - a $500 scholarship toChristopher Wong for the highestmark in the A.R.C.T. Teacherexamination category, and $625 tothe B.C. Association of Perform-ing Arts Festivals.

Most of our branches orgamzeda number of exciting events duringthe 1998 Canada Music $TeekrM

We wish to thank RhodaMurray for her v-ork as \Iembers-

^t-Large representatir-e. \\'e knou'

that she will continue ro supportARMTA and we wish her success

in her varied musical endear-ors.

The Three Hills Arts lcademvhas expanded in the areas oihandbells and musical theatre

thereby blending educadon and

performance activities. ^\ handbellclass for physicallv challensedyoung people began in Octoberand everyone is delighted s-ith the

students' progress. A musicaltheatre production of "Little'Women" was a wonderiul oppor-tunity for all ages to participate.George Gershwin was also iea-

tured in an awards concert in the

fall. This all added up to make a

very rewarding year!

The Calgary Branch is thrir-ingwith twenty-six committeeskeeping everything runningsmoothly. The Calgary ArtsSummer School Association has

become an exciting and rvell-

attended annual event each

August. The yeady Recital forScholarship Winners and Out-standing Students is held in

January. March is the month torCalgary's C3 Concerto Competi-tion. Monthly branch events

include workshops and

mastetclasses, recitals and, in rhe

near future, music educationtraveling workshops.

What a busy Lethbridge Branchl

The third season of the FamilyConcerto Association started witha program on "Mozaft, theEnigmatic Genius". flust a littleaside - I hope you have all read thefascinating book The MozartEffect by Don Campbell). Thesecond program titled "VictorianAmusements" reviews the atmos-phere of music making in the 19thcentury home. The third activityis "The Bach Family MakingMusic". These programs weresuccessfully organized by the hardworking and motivated Marill'nSinclair and Andrew Gieruiski.The branch also held a theoryworkshop, an Alfred Publicationsworkshop as well as a workshopand recital by Dr. Milton Schlosserentitled "a Coordinated Approachto Piano Technique". Congratula-tions to Joan Milton and herstudent Alexandria Close forwinning the 11 Years and UnderCanadran Music Writing Competi-tion. The new year started off witha student recital and a workshoppresented by the University ofLethbridge on "Art, Culture andThought in 17th and 18th CenturyFrance". Sounds fascinating to me!

In March, Lloyminster memberspresented a program around themusic and [fe of Mendelssohn - a

composer often ovedooked.Teachers have been busy with theMusic Festival, March 8 - 18. Maywill be an opportunity for a pre-exam recital and also the AnnualGeneral Meeting. Welcome to thethree new members!

while giving us a short histon- and

video depicting some of these veryelegant dances. Evervone u'as

delighted with this masterclass

which provided pertinent informa-tion on the interpretation and

tempo of the dances.

We had recitals from ourvarious Clubs: small, seven veafs

and less, and intermediate and

advanced adults. These recitals

ended the vear on a jovous note.

On Februar.; 28 1999 we had

our first masterclass for violin and

string ensembles. This proved very

popular, with ten students takingpart. They appreciated the com-ments and suggestions made bvProfessor Thomas \\'illiams.

Rita Barg is sti,ll in the hospital.

students and many students take

advantage of these. During Canada

Music WeekrM, four participantsperformed original compositionsat our Canada Music \X'eekr\l

other students who had auditioned

were taped and broadcast from ourlocal CBC radio studio.

The mandate of the PublicRelations Committee is to draw

attention to the activities of ourassociation by advertising throughposters, flyers, etc. The Scholar-

ship Committee sponsors a

scholarship recital to be held this

year on May 15. V-e har-e three

winners from three age groups

chosen to receive the scholarships.

For our Spring Recital on )Iar' 1,

our president suggested a "dress-

up" recital, i.e., performersdressing up in the character of the

piece thev perform. Cathv Freckeralso encouraged ensemble plar-ing

in the torm of duets. duos. trios,

etc. to be pertormed rn this recital.

Our association makes scholar-

donated $800.00. This rear it rvillbe more!

The suggestion has come up that

Newfoundland host the CF\ITANational Convention in the r-ear

on guided hikes at the CortrightConseruation Centre north ofToronto and in the cottage country

of the Forest".

usic teachers might be

interested to learn how a

naturalist takes peoplefor walks in the forest and has

started to use music to engage

some of the participants and

enrich the experiencefor all of them. Thisis my story and itall started with a

school assignment. Iuse storytelling as an

approach to environ-mental educationwith children and

adults. This means

that I tell stories,

either fictional orotherwise to engage

my visitors in a

meaningful experience intheout- of-doors. A colleague

who knows more about the

theory of seven intelligencesthan I do suggested that a

storyteller is missing theboat with man\i of the

participants on a naturehike. The theory goes

ll{USIC,,..NATURALLY!By Allan Foster

Like this: there are 7 intelligences-Dr. Howard Gardner recognizedand specified the 7; linguistic,logicai-mathematical, spatial,musical, bodily-kinesthetic,interpersonal and intrapersonal.Although we all possess some ofeach, we have preferences and

show our preferences in the wa1

we iearn things. A nature sto$'-teller who just tells stories alongthe trail is only appealing to those

learners with linguistic intelli-gence. Those who learn throughlogical-mathematical or musicalintelligence were being left out. So

mv challenge \r/as to include them.So I developed a 'nature hike forthe 7 intelligences' rvhich includessomething for everl'one. Forexample: for the math people Ihave included a story whichrequires some logical thinking. Iuse the storr'/puzzle about thefarmet who must get across a river

Page 10: gA - CFMTA · piano department at Yale Univer- sity, gave two masterclass sessions on Prokofiev's music along with an inspiring concert.The Novem- ber Showcase of Canadian Music was

called "Going on a lion hunt." butto make it more reler.ant to theOntario woods experience I'vechanged it to "Let's go find some

groundhogs." It's a story activitywhere evervone produces thesound effects bv slapping theirthighs and clapping their hands

mixed with a bit of choral speak-ing. The second rhythm activity is

^ g me that evolved around the

campfire. The leader walks aroundthe inside of the circle of partici-pants and directs them to make

the sounds of rubbing their hands

together, snapping their fingers,clapping, slapping their thighs and

stamping their feet. The resultantsound resembles a thunderstormcomplete with crescendo and

decrescendo. When we have theluxury of a group that can stay a

litde longer v/e sometimes play the

bird chorus game. Everyone in the

Soup is given a card that defines

him/her as a type of bird, suggests

in words what the bird says and

specifies the hours when the birdsays it. The leader pretends to be a

clock and calls out the hours ofthe day. The hoots, tweets and

snickers result in a noisr game butthe participants often spend the

rest of their hike listening tor theirparticular bird. And frnalh' thereare musical instruments to make.

A dandelion stem becomes a t-lute

with a range of three difttrentnotes. There are two grass whis-tles: the Canadian r-arien' rvith theblade of grass stretched r-erticallybetween thumbs and palms and

the Japanese varien' s-ith the blade

of grass folded into a horizontalreed and placed against the lips.

With a bit of practice \-ou can

produce a good screech br- biorv-ing sharply across the inr-ertedhead of an acorn. So. har-e I metthe challenge? V'e11, I'm setungthere. I've been taking people forwalks in the forest tbr 28 \-ears.

W'hen I started, I thought thatpeople were learning thin-qs simplvbv listening to me. Thev don't. Inorv knou' that I har-e lo oror-ideopportunities tor tl-ren: ic, .earn intheir os-n prettrred \\-a] - ::singtheir orvn inteiligence. I thunk I'ma better teacher norr and. er-en

UPDATE FROilI THE CAilIBODIAN SUPPORT CROUP

omentous Arts news

from Cambodia! A new.* ' National Orchestra is

developing. This move is espe-

cially significant because the brutalKhmer Rouge attacked culture so

viciously. They slaughteredmusicians, artists, teachers and

performers by the thousands;burned all the books in theNational Library and made it a

pig-st1l; destroyed irreplaceableancient records of Cambodianheritage; and wrecked countlessinstruments and cultural artifacts.

During my last trip to Cambo-dia I gave two recitals to raise

funds for the National Orchestra,and took part in the first orgztiza-tional meeting on February 13,representing the CambodiaSupport Group (CSG). The debutperformance is set for October 31.,

Kirg Sihanouk's birthday.UNESCO-UN Volunteer Fred

Frumberg summarized the projectas follows: 'lVe plan to form a

National Orchestra, comprisingboth Traditional and Western-Classical musicians, as an ambassa-

dor for Cambodian culture and a

Name (as it should appear on tax receipt)

source of national pride.Before the Pol Pot (Khmer

Rouge) regime, Cambodia \ras a

regional leader in classical andtraditional music. Since 1980, thestudy of music has been slos-lvrebuilding; now the time is ripe torecapture past achievements whilebreaking new ground.

Traditional and western-classicalmusic are given equal focus in theRoyal University of Fine Arrs,Faculty of Music. This retlectstheir equal significance in Cambo-dian life. The National orchestrawill be distinctly Cambodian,with newly-commissioned u-orksby Cambodian composers, andwill include Chnar-ee music -

integrating traditional and \\-esrerninstruments.

As western culture infiltratesCambodia at afi extreme rate,musicians strive for excellence in a

society easily influenced byadventure films and N[TV. TheNational Orchestra u,ill benefrtnot only the artistic communin-but also the generai public,fostering a sense of nationaldignity and co-operarive spirit."

After expenses, US$1,400.[tr-r ';':.raised from the two recitals. \I:c:.oi the promotional costs u'erecovered bv the Canadian Embas=-in Cambodia. Ambassador D.Gordon Longmuir is a strongsupporter of CSG work there.

I also handed over USg1,00[rfrom past CSG fund-raising formusic projects. Of this, 9300.0tt :s

for the building of traditionalinstruments, and $700 for theorchestra itself (this to includecosts of adapting and amplifrin-s :'

traditional instrument, the 'ksardierr', tbr solo use in a new u-orkcommissioned for the orchestra.

The total budget for the firstperformance is projected at arouniUS$8,000.00. Canadians havegenerated more than a quarter ofthe actual seed-money that enables

the Cambodian people to moveahead with this plan; and CSGfund-raising continues.

The Cambodian NationalOrchestra rises as a major triumphover those who practised culturalgenocide. We in the West can feelhonoured indeed to be so vital a

part of this historic culturaldevelopment.

Established i999in conjunction with the CFMTA National Piano Competition

As 1999 marks the 150th anniversary of the death of Chopin, ARMTA Edmonton Branch is offering a prize of

$500.00 for the best performance of a work by Chopin at the Canadian Federation of Music Gachers' Association's

Piano Competition to be held during their national convention in Winnipeg in July of this year. A biennial competi-

tion, participants are all advanced students of Registered Music Teachers and have been selected in earlier rounds torepresenr their provincial associations in this final round. Each competitor's program will consist of works by a

number of composers from various sryle periods.

ARMTA Edmonton Branch is delighted that MarekJablonski has agreed to lend his name to this award. Apianist of international stature and member of Edmonton Branch, Marek dedicates much of his teaching and perfor-

mance ro the works of Chopin. He is incredibly generous in sharing his time, expertise and friendship with teachers

and students in Edmonton, throughout the country and internationally. Many students and teachers across Canada

will know him through his teaching as a member of the piano faculn' at the Universiq' of Alberta and at the Banff

Centre's summer program. In Edmonton and area, he is held in high and att'ectionate esteem by all music lovers.

A fund has been established to enable this to become an ongoing an'ard, and donations are invited from far and

wide. Marek has embraced the idea of establishing this award with great enthusiasm and generosity. As abenefit to the fund, he has offered to present a Chopin Gala at The Francis Winspear Centre for Music,Edmonton, on the evening of Saflrday October 16, 1999. Branch members are excited at the prospect of fillingEdmonton's new concert hall rvith a capacity audience for this wonderful event. (Please see the reverse side of this

sheet for further information and ticket prices.)

r. Chairman, \Iembersof the Board, Distin-guished Guesrs, Facultv

and Friends - in preparing mr'comments I s-as tn-ing to learn a

few more things on the computer(technologv has been a longprocess for me). Our son has been

very patient rn-rng to teach me e-

mail. I iust s'asn'r getting it - nvoclicks into Shortcut to Pianet. Iwas doing "click-click", nothingwas happening. Ross u-as shaking

his head, and then in a moment ofinspiration said, "IIother, thinktwo 32nd notes instead of nr-o 8th

notes". In musical terms, it s-as a

cinch.That would never har-e hap-

pened to Anne - she is muchquicker. It gives me great pleasureon this occasion to tell r-ou a Litde

bit about my friend and colleague,

Anne Burows - Anne the intellec-tual, Anne the musician, Anne the

music teacher, Anne the philan-thropist humanitarian. -\nne thepef son.

Anne Burrou's is an -\ssociate ofthe Royal College, England. She

received a }laster oi \fusic fromIndiana Unir-ersin-, Bloomington,and an Honoran- Doctor oi Lau's

from the Unir-ersitl of i.lberta,Edmonton. She is an Honorar\-Life N{ember of the AlbertaRegistered Nfusic Teachers'Association and Canadian Federa-

tion of Music Teachers' Associa-

tions. She has served as presidentof ARIITA Edmonton Branch.

She was instrumental in estab-lishing the Northern AlbertaConcerto Competition withARMTA Edmonton Branch andthe Edmonton Youth Orchestra.A number of years ago, in 1979 tobe exact, Anne saw a need forestablishing a foundation fortalented young performers to goaway for further studv at the postsecondary level, mant' frombackgrounds that could notpossibly fund a Julliard, Curtis orIIcGill education. Anne vervquickly pulled a board together,had the foundation incorporatedwith a charitable number and theAngela Cheng Foundation wasborn, Angela Cheng being thevoung student loaded withpotential. Anne is amazing. Ofcoufse she does not rr,-ork alone,but has a knack for putting the

right people together ro get thingsdone. The name has since changedto the Anne Burrorvs Foundation.

Anne is an avid reader, not just

of literature, but of magazines,

periodicals and ne\\'spapers. She

keeps up on the latesr neu's in allforms of politics, especialh- s-henit has to do with the culturalcommunity. If rou \\-anr to knou'which works are iashionable forconcert programs, ask Anne. She

has been pardv responsible forbringing manv artists to -\lbertasuch as musicologist and pianistCharles Rosen, and u-as tlrst inline to have him sign her copr- ofhis book The Classica/ Sh/e. Shethinks nothing of picking up thephone and booking pianistKendall Tar-lor or phoningBloomington Indiana to bookMenahem Pressler or harpsichord-ist Igor Kipnis. She is the author ofan internationallv accredited book

called Music Throagh Braille,having been assisted by herAmerican colleague BettyeKrolick. It is a landmark book as itis the first comprehensive guide inthe historr- of braille music studies.

Anne has a phenomenalmemory. You can quote a phonenumber to her and she v"illremember it. Upon driving herhome one day, she asked, "'Whydid you come that way - were youlost?" I replied that no, I had justdecided to come a different route.

Anne is an avid theatre andconcert goer. Ever since I was a

)roung student going to my firstconcefts at the S(/omen's MusicalClub and Edmonton Symphony, Ican remember seeing this lovelyred head dressed in silks andvelvets and wondered at the timewho she was. I soon learned it was

Anne Burrows the music teacherwho, along with friend and

colleague Robert Pounder startedthe Roubakine Club for a group of20 teachers to keep up theirpractice bv performing nvice a

vear for the late Boris Roubakineu.ho would hear them play andgive a constructive critique.Although Anne has retired fromthe group, they are still bringing innotables such as Marek Jablonski,Jean Paul Sevilla and AntonKuerti.

At the 1987 spring convocationof the Universitv of Alberta, adegree of Doctor of Laws was

conferred upon Anne. That same

year she received the YV/CATribute to Women Award forArts and Culture. She is a memberof the Order of Canada, and has

been awarded the GovernorGeneral's Medallion in recognitionof significant contribution tocompatriots, community and toCanada. In 1993 she was inducted

ment in the Arts and \Iusic. This

spring she u'as inr-ited to sen-e as a

member of the \adonal Forumon CLimate Change. a branch ofthe \arional Round Table on

Enr-ironment and Economy.

-\nne is still teaching music and

especiallv delights in her younger.rudents. Thet' always become fast

nends and she feels that she

receives daily lessons from herstudents. She has been a mentor tomanv young university studentsand performers. Anne, the person,has a warm and loving positivepersonalin with a gre t sense ofhumour, and collects friends as

others collect postage stamps. She

loves dining out, radio, televisionand traveling. No matter whereshe goes in the world, u'ithinminutes she vu'ill har-e rounded up
