Ode to Music “Workers”
On this May Day, referred to in some countries as International Workers’ Day, we pay tribute to music workers and in invoking that term, I mean all of us: faculty, students, administrators, performers, scholars, composers, music educators, patrons, those involved in the music industry from security guards to sound technicians, and did I mention musicians, or was that assumed?
Included here is The College Music Society's second webinar on coping with alternative teaching strategies in higher education for music, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus this time on performance ensembles—experiences in the past few weeks, lessons learned, and thoughts about future uses of technology.
Compliments of the CMS Committee on Musicians’ Health
The Musicians’ Health Committee, comprised of medical professionals and music faculty, all strong advocates for musicians’ health, is happy to bring you a Q & A column for this month's CMS Newsletter. If you like this idea, please send us your musicians’ health-related questions which we will direct to our committee members, or other professionals with whom we have contact, to be answered in future newsletters. Gail Berenson and Linda Cockey, Committee Co-Chairs.
