>CALL FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
>The National Conference of the
>Association for Technology in Music Instruction
>
>The Conference Committee of ATMI invites the submission of program
>proposals for the 1999 ATMI Conference, held jointly with the College
>Music Society October 14-17 in Denver, Colorado. The final date for
>submissions is March 1, 1999.
>
>TOPICS
>
>Proposals dealing with all aspects of technology in music instruction
>are welcome. We are particularly interested in presentations that focus
>on:
>
>* Music Instructional Applications of the Internet
>* Interactive Distance Learning
>* Multimedia: Integrating Video, Graphics, Text, and Music
>* Creative Pedagogies and Technological Tools for Music Learning and
Composition
>* Research on the Effectiveness of Music Technology
>* Using Technology in the Music Studio (Music Performance)
>
>CONFERENCE SESSIONS
>
>We hope to offer a variety of different conference sessions, including
>papers, panels, software demonstrations, training sessions or workshops,
>
>an electronic poster session, and MIDI performance. In addition, we hope
>
>to identify our sessions as intended for the general audience, or
>focused on intermediate or advanced levels of experience with technology
>
>in music instruction.
>
>PAPERS AND PANELS: Traditional academic papers and panels dealing with
>technology and music are welcome. Curricular and programmatic issues in
>addition to the topics mentioned above are welcome.
>
>SOFTWARE DEMONSTRATIONS: Also encouraged are presentations that focus on
>
>newly authored software from all aspects of the music curriculum.
>Especially welcomed are applications that take an innovative approach to
>
>music teaching and learning. Proposals should include a complete
>description of the software's design and its use in the teaching
>environment.
>
>TRAINING SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS: People looking for practical ways to
>expand their skills often attend ATMI sessions. We would like to serve
>this constituency by offering a series of short training sessions
>tailored to beginning and intermediate skill levels. Submissions in this
>
>category should focus on the presenter's level of experience and
>background, and need not include a detailed proposal, since the
>structure of these sessions will be worked out in concert with other
>presenters.
>
>We are particularly interested in:
>
>* Authoring software and tools
>* Web tools
>* Sound file creation and conversion
>
>ELECTRONIC POSTER SESSION: The conference will host a computer-based
>poster session, in which presenters collectively show material in a
>large display area. Especially encouraged are "hands-on" presentations
>of research, new interactive music lab software, work in progress, and
>examples of student work. Proposals should include a complete
>description of the material to be presented. Graphic images or actual
>software samples may be included with a proposal submission, but should
>be clearly described in the text of the proposal. Poster session
>participants should supply portable computers and any other devices
>needed to present their material.
>
>MIDI PERFORMANCE: Last year the conference hosted musical performances
>focusing on the use of MIDI technology. Capitalizing on the success of
>that venture, we encourage performance ensembles devoted to MIDI
>performance are particularly to submit proposals.
>
>SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
>
>All proposals will be submitted for blind review and authors are
>encouraged to exclude references to individuals or institutions that
>might compromise this process (except for panels and training sessions).
>
>Proposals for papers should include clear statements of theoretical
>background, methodology, and conclusions. Panel proposals should include
>
>a complete description of the content to be covered, panelists and their
>
>affiliation, and confirmation of panelists' participation. MIDI
>performance proposals should include a performance tape and statements
>describing performer(s) with regard to organization, purpose/mission or
>other relevant information.
>
>Proposals should be no more than 2,000 words in length and should
>include a detailed listing of required equipment and operating
>system(s). Where possible, please identify the intended audience level
>(general, intermediate, advanced).
>
>Individuals whose proposals are accepted must be members of ATMI to
>present at the 1999 conference. Abstracts for accepted proposals will be
>
>published on the ATMI website, with links to the presenter's website for
>
>additional material. Please note that ATMI is unable to pay travel
>expenses for performers whose proposals are accepted. Travel expenses
>are the responsibility of the performer(s).
