Get professional development on your own schedule! The Idaho Bandmasters association is offering an a-synchronous online conference this summer that will result in either 1 or 2 credits of professional development that can be used towards Idaho State Board of Education teacher re-certification. We recognize that our band teaching community is in a tough place this summer, so you cover your credits, and we will cover the conference at no charge this year. However, if you can please consider visiting www.idahobanmasters.org to make a donation to support future IBA activities.
The conference will be completely a-synchronous and online so teachers can progress at their own rate through it and can enroll through July 19th. The conference will include development in: Teaching Rudiments Methodically, Hand drum technique for the class room, Beginning Oboe instruction, Do It Yourself at home digital music projects, Changing heads and maintaining Timpani, Brass tips and tricks, Tuning up your master educator portfolio, Student participation in band: research presentation, Jazz Band Pedagogy, a virtual round table, and collaborative research on ongoing best practices related to teaching wind instruments in the world of COVID -19.
