Sept. 10- Daniel Kellogg “The Budding Composer”-Associate Professor of Composition at the University of Colorado, Dr. Kellogg “is one of the most exciting composers around – technically assured, fascinated by unusual sonic textures, unfailingly easy to listen to, yet far from simplistic.” (The Washington Post). Dan will present various approaches, dynamic and fun exercises, analysis ideas and listening suggestions to motivate and guide the rising musician. Sept. 24- Douglas McLemore “Connecting the Theory of Jazz Improvisation to actual playing”- Specializing in Jazz and piano theory, Doug is currently a piano teacher, lecturer, and professional performer, with extensive professional studio recording experience as player, arranger, orchestrator, conductor and producer. His presentation will highlight the process of making harmonic, rhythmic and melodic decisions in jazz, by connecting the intellectual and practical aspects. Oct. 8- Uri Ayn Rovner “Three composition projects for beginners”- Owner of Calliope Music Studios in Aurora, Uri Ayn teaches piano, wind instruments & Hebrew Torah chant. He loves to sing and is a composer for Mel Bay Publishing. He will present three fun, easy and rewarding projects: 1) Creating a Haiku Composition, 2) Composing a 12 bar blues, 3) Melodic Line project, particularly useful for non-piano students. Oct. 22- Leila Viss “Sparking Creativity with Today’s Hottest Tech Tools”- Leila Viss owns a piano studio, is an organist, blogs at 88pianokeys.me, writes for Clavier Companion, authored The iPad Piano Studio and is co-founder of 88 Creative Keys. With Leila, we will discover

how to use the latest apps and tech tools to inspire creativity in your students and help them notate their masterpieces. Nov. 12- Deborah DeLa Torre “Composition and Latin American Culture”- Deborah De La Torre's award-winning career spans over 35 years of performing, composing, teaching, and making significant contributions in arts and culture. She has recently completed another technically advanced piano work titled "La Almendrah," which is a Latin-Jazz piano duo-concerto. Her presentation will explore Latin American composers and why their music is so much more than those “sizzling hot rhythms”. Nov. 19- Vince Madison “Composing with Kids” Vince Madison is a teacher and the creator of 7 CDs of original piano music. He will share his techniques for teaching young students to explore creativity in music through improvising and composition and will share examples of pieces from his own students. Dec. 3- David Gottlieb “Beyond the Noteheads: Alternative Approaches to Teaching Composition” David Gottlieb is a composer, promoter, producer and teacher of accessible music for the 21st Century, with over 40 performances of his compositions since 2010. He holds degrees from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the University of Pennsylvania. Drawing on compositional techniques from both the East and West Coast and approaches from as far away as Paris and Brazil, this presentation will explore new, untraditional and outside-the-box ways to open your student’s imagination to writing new music.
