AUGUST 1993 SOUTH CAROLINA MUSIC EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION

Office of the President 216 Hunters Woods Drive Simpsonville, S.C. 29681

Dear South Carolina Administrators,

I am delighted to write you for the first time as president of the South Carolina Music Educators Association. All music educators of our state welcome this opportunity to express our appreciation for the support and assistance you have granted our organiza­ tion in the past.

This is the handbook edition of the South Carolina Musician. It contains all the sched­ ules, deadlines, and rules for our organization during this school year. Please take a moment of your time to scan the activities in which you expect your students to par­ ticipate. As you may notice, almost every activity requires administrative approval. We are dedicated to the academic and musical growth of all students in our state and we know that you share that dedication. We believe that the self-knowledge and self- worth obtained through the serious study of music provides much more for our stu­ dents than performance opportunities, as exciting as those are. Please help us to con­ tinue to teach the whole personality of every student.

Scheduling conflicts have been avoided whenever possible. When any unavoidable conflicts occur, students involved will be rescheduled for such events as SAT. Please work with your teachers so that we all communicate any difficulties as rapidly as pos­ sible.

Thank you for your continuing support of SCMEA. All music educators extend an in­ vitation to you to attend our activities. I know many of you have done so in the past and I hope that all of you will directly experience the musical achievement of your students this year.

Best wishes for a very successful year.

Sincerely,

Jane B. Morlan President, SCMEA

It is not designed to develop tone, although that will occur. Increase Interest and Motivation! 2. It is not designed to teach rhythm and time counting; the Better Sight Reading Book is Here's why it works: recommended for that. 3. It is not designed to teach perfect playing. To use it in this way will create boredom and decrease motivation. What the Sequence book is: 1. It is designed to be played through rather quick­ ly, not to be perfected. It is like the framing of a house. It will be used later to build upon but the framing itself is not to be admired for its beauty. It may even have knots or be different colors. The framing is foundational. Its pur­ pose is to be the support on which to build those things that will be seen and admired for their beauty. 2. There are three main purposes for the Sequence book A. To teach the fingerings using familiar tunes so the student will have immediate feed­ back, since he knows how the "tune" is sup­ posed to sound. B. To teach the student to easily be . . . established in eight major keys. C. To build self-confidence and promote success thereby producing motivation.

Give New Life to the World' s Greatest Story Present a powerful rendering of the Christmas story this season with Our Lord, Emmanuel, a dramatic new celebration of Christ's birth, death, and resurrection. Written to accommodate choirs of various sizes and abilities, its convenient format gives you maximum performance flexibility. Most of the songs can stand alone as special numbers, and the entire program may also be presented as a musical. Many directors, however, will prefer to blend music with drama in a thrilling full-scale performance. Our Lord, Emmanuel contains original narration and includes traditional carols such as "The First Noel," "Angels We Have Heard on High," and "O Come, All Ye Faithful"; new melodies for "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Beneath the Cross of Jesus"; and a beautiful original work, "A Shepherd's Song." It's the perfect answer for a Christmas celebration your choir and your congregation will love.
