Keith Kaiser and Matt Clauhs present "Embracing the Traditional and the Emerging -- a win-win for ensembles, for music education, and for ALL students" at the International Band and Orchestra Conference -- The Midwest Clinic. 

 Presentation description: The music education community continues to have robust, and often, divisive conversations regarding the value of traditional music education versus emerging practice music education. Kaiser and Clauhs propose that there is a different, and more useful, way of looking at this dichotomy -- one that embraces the values of both, that recognizes that both are needed to reach all children, and that considers that each offers important strengths and approaches that should be considered when utilizing the other.
