VII Colloquium: April 30 - May 2, 1999:
The University of Washington, Seattle, WA
"Can Music Teachers Influence a Culture's Musical Life?"

Friday, April 30 @ University Inn - Seattle

7:30pm &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Thomas A Regelski (State University of New York at Fredonia)
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp MayDay Group discussion of agency based on his paper on this web site,
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp "Critical Theory and Praxis: Implications for Professionalizing Music Education."

&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Tom applied his paper to Ideal no3, partially to test whether there is sufficient
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp agency in music teaching to "...channel [the musical] process, influencing the
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp directions in which it develops and the ... values it serves."

Saturday, May 1 @ School of Music, Univeristy of Washington

&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp What strategies can be developed to promote, improve and encourage the

&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp help individuals become sensitive to and more successful within musical
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp cultures other than the ones in which they grew up?
