Th e Northern Iowa School of Music enjoyed another bu sy yea r in 1988-89, on e f illed with many s tudent and fa ulty accomplishments.

Student Honors Hea ding th e list of items to brag about thi s yea r are th e c ontinuing achievements of our students. While it is imposs ible to mention all of th em in any communique of th is type, I wa nt to give you j ust a taste of th e ambiance around th e " Hall s of Ru s­ se ll " th ese days. In April, U NI Lyri c Th ea tre prese nted Dialogues of th e Ca rm elites, Fr anc i s Pou lenc's 1957 opera based on events sur­ ro unding th e religious persecutions during th e Reign of Terror in post-Revolutionary France (1789-). It's a g rippin g drama, well-timed for France's bicentennnial ce le­ brati on of its revolution. Northern Iowa students were o utstan ding in th eir voca l prowes and dramatic integrity. Th e 45- piece UNI O rches tra, conducted b y first­ yea r fac ulty member R ebecca Burkhardt, "Northern Iowa students were outstanding in their voca l prowess and dramatic integ rity," handily negoti ated a ve ry dense and often commented Ron Ro s on the UNI Lyric Th ea tre production of Poulenc's Dialogues of th e lu sh sco re.

Joint Project with the College of Edu cation This fa ll, the Northern Iowa School of Music will pilot-test a unit in the curricu­ lum for prospective principals and super­ intendents. Labeled "An Administrator's Guide to Curriculum for Music Edu ca­ tion," the project is a joint effort involvi ng the music education fac ulty and selected fac ulty from the Department of Education­ al Administration and Coun seling in the College of Ed ucation. Robert Dea n is the project coordinator. The project, thought to be the only one of its kind in the country, is designed to acquaint the fu ture school administra tor with the components of a quality, compre­ hensive public school music curriculum. Techniques for evaluating such programs will also be taught. Many administrators are not fa miliar with the idiosyncrasies of "That contribution could not have come at a more opportune time," stated Ron Ross after a music program. It is ·our premise that Northern Iowa graduate Dale M unger (B.A., English '37) made a contribution last year they w ill welcome being introduced earl y toward the purchase of new percussion equipment for the Panther Marching Band.
