PMTNM Newsletter — Winter - Spring 2018 SEGUE Page 3 New Mexico Music Teachers Keynote Address: Can Music Heal the Mind and Heart? November 10, 2017 — by Dr. Gary Ingle, MTNA CEO and Executive Director It’s a pleasure for me to be with you today in the great city of Albuquerque. You know, Albuquerque is a curious word. Is there any other word, much less city, with so many “Qs” and so many “Us”…And that pesky “R”…or is there an “R”? Maybe a better pronunciation would be just as it looks: “Alba-kwerkie.” Anyway, I love going to Albuquerque, especially to visit Jeanne and multiple friends here. But my assistant Diana? Well, she just sort of gasps when I tell her. She knows she’s going to have to redo all her research on how to spell the word. I was delighted to accept Jeanne’s invitation to give the closing keynote. However, it has been a challenge, a good challenge, to prepare. For you see, I am not a physician or a music therapist. My doctor- ate is in choral conducting. I wanted to be a concert pianist, but two things stood in my way: my right hand and my left hand. I guess my closest encounter with medicine and therapy was when I was diagnosed with antisocial behavior. I joined a support group. We never meet. It was also a challenge because I was given an hour and fifteen minutes for the address. This is a first for me. Usually, I have strict orders not to exceed ten minutes or at most twenty minutes. I want to as- sure you that I will not take the entire time allotted for the address, despite the fact that Parkinson’s Law may be just as applicable to speeches as it is to work. Parkinson said that “work expands to fill the time al- lotted for its completion.” In the same way, speeches expand to fill the time allotted for their completion. However, there’s another saying that “trumps” (oops, sorry…) Parkinson’s Law. It’s the one that says: “the mind can comprehend only what the seat can endure.” So, I’ll keep it as brief as possible. You know, giving an address on the topic of music and healing, especially with those of you who know more than I on the subject, makes me feel like Zha Zha Gabor’s eight husbands. I know exactly what I am supposed to do. I’m just not sure I can make it interesting. The idea that music has healing powers occurs in almost every culture and goes back to ancient times. Apollo was the god of both music and healing. Hippocrates is said to have played music to help treat his patients. In the Old Testament, King Saul’s fits of depression were alleviated by the music of young David. In addition to the beliefs and actions of these ancient sources, there is much anecdotal evidence that music has healing powers. It goes all the way back to Plato who said: “Music is a means of restoring the soul, as well as confused and discordant bodily afflictions.” Martin Luther, the leader of the Ref- ormation, said: “My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.” My first exposure to the idea of music and healing was the famous quote from Act I of the drama The Mourning Bride by the English playwright from the Restoration period William Congreve: “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast…” In today’s popular culture, quotes by musicians on the healing power of music appear everywhere: • Billy Joel: “I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.” • Reba McEntire: “For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.” • Ed Hardy, the critically-acclaimed violinist and composer: “Country music, in particular, is a powerful and unifying force that inspires individuals to action and ini- tiates the process of healing in times of personal tragedy or national crisis.” • Albert Ayler, jazz saxophonist: “Music is the healing force of the universe.” • John Logan, Irish singer: “Music is the medicine of the mind.” Continued page 4 PMTNM Newsletter — Winter - Spring 2018 Page 4 SEGUE • Burning Spear, reggae singer: “I believe music is like medicine. Like a good tonic, it can strengthen and possibly even cure you. Music can work on many levels, and nothing I know of possesses the heal- ing force that exists within music.” My final quote is by Bernie Siegel, the well-known pediatric surgeon and writer of bestseller Love, Medicine and Miracles: “I use music in the operating room to help create a healing environment for patients and staff. There is a reason that certain heart rates are healthy and certain beats of music heal and relax us.” Well, there you have it. The evidence is in. Enough ancient philosophers and popular musicians be- lieve that music is a medicine that heals the mind and heart, so it must be true. The only scintilla of doubt, if there is any, would have been alleviated if I could have found a quote by a Miss America contestant. I found several on world peace, but none on music and healing. Regardless, Billy Joel, Reba, Burning Spear can’t be wrong. They said it, I believe it, that settles it. Music heals the mind and heart! Any questions? Okay, well, maybe it takes more than a few earnest quotes by ancient and popular figures to estab- lish that, indeed, music heals the mind and heart. Don’t get me wrong. These quotes reflect the personal experiences of all of the individuals.

    NEW MEXICO Crossroads of NewandAncient 1999 – 2000 Speakers Bureau & Chautauqua Programs Millennium Edition N EW M EXICO E NDOWMENT FOR THE H UMANITIES ABOUT THE COVER: AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER MARKO KECMAN of Aztec captures the crossroads of ancient and modern in New Mexico with this image of Comet Hale-Bopp over Fajada Butte in Chaco Culture National Historic Park. Kecman wanted to juxtapose the new comet with the butte that was an astronomical observatory in the years 900 – 1200 AD. Fajada (banded) Butte is home to the ancestral Puebloan sun shrine popularly known as “The Sun Dagger” site. The butte is closed to visitors to protect its fragile cultural sites. The clear skies over the Southwest led to discovery of Hale-Bopp on July 22-23, 1995. Alan Hale saw the comet from his driveway in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and Thomas Bopp saw the comet from the desert near Stanfield, Arizona at about the same time. Marko Kecman: 115 N.

    Fifty-Ninth National Conference October 27–29, 2016 Santa Fe, New Mexico ABSTRACTS & PROGRAM NOTES updated September 12, 2016 Alberti, Alexander Paper: From Beatboxing to Bach: Applications of Collegiate A Cappella Across the Music Curriculum In recent decades, collegiate a cappella groups have flourished on campuses across the nation, yet a cappella’s place in the study of classical art music has been unclear, despite such benefits as practical ear training, group cohesion, applications of music arrangement, and engaging vocal practice. St. Jean (2014) investigated a cappella’s benefits to the undergraduate ensemble singer’s skillset; however, the literature has yet to expand this into a broader range of musical disciplines. To address this gap, the present study explored how the collegiate a cappella experience may supplement, improve, and coexist with the traditional music curriculum at the college level, using a qualitative methodology known as experience-sampling (Zirkel, Garcia, Murphy, 2015). Undergraduates in various music degree programs, simultaneously engaged in a cappella organizations, submitted weekly reports of the integration of their a cappella skills into their courses, lessons, and classwork. Coupled with interviews, this information was thematically coded and analyzed through the lens of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model to discover how skills gained in a cappella supported students’ experience in the music curriculum, regardless of concentration. Results of this study may better inform curriculum development and professional development opportunities across the entire music discipline. Alhadeff, Peter Paper: Berklee’s Fair Music and Transparency Report: A Critique Berklee’s Fair Music Report has made headlines by highlighting much opacity in the engagement of talent by a variety of music intermediaries.

  • Mayor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients
    Mayor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients 2018/2019 Charles MacKay, Former General Director of the Santa Fe Opera 2018 marked Charles MacKay’s 10th and final season as General Director of The Santa Fe Opera and the culmination of his extraordinary 50-year career, a trajectory that took him from orchestra “pit boy” to impresario. Charles started his career at The Santa Fe Opera in 1968, working in several administrative and artistic capacities until 1978 when he went to work for the Spoleto Festival USA and Festival of Two Worlds. In 1985 he became Executive Director, then General Director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis until returning in 2008 to The Santa Fe Opera as General Director. Only the third General Director in Santa Fe Opera history, Charles leaves The Santa Fe Opera an important legacy to build upon, including improved infrastructure and enhanced front-of-house facilities; administrative buildings, beautiful grounds, Information Technology, and rehearsal facilities; increased net assets from $61 to $120 million, and an increased operating budget from $17 million to $24 million. He oversaw the strengthening of education and community programs serving over 50,000 people annually. All in all, Charles passed on an institution whose annual economic impact to the region is approximately $250 million. Myra Krien, International Performer, Choreographer, and Educator Marie Romero Cash was born into a Santa Fe family of sculptors, tinsmiths, retablo painters, and colcha stitchers. Her parents, National Endowment for the Arts fellowship recipients Emilio and Senaida Romero helped revive the traditions of hammered-tin work and stitchery.
