2023 Message from Kevin Watson 
Greetings from the Music Education faculty at Western!
Each year, we look forward to the annual OMEA conference with great anticipation. The conference provides us with opportunities to interact with outstanding clinicians, learn about some of the latest research happening in our field, and enjoy inspiring performances by students from across the province. I know that Synergy 2023 will provide these same enriching experiences. Look for the following sessions from our Western Music faculty members:
- A Conceptual Approach to Rhythm Section Pedagogy for Elementary & High School Jazz Ensembles
Dr. Kevin Watson, Friday 2:45 pm @ Crown Plaza Canadian Room - Building Community in the Primary Music Classroom
Dr. Kim Eyre, Saturday 10:15 am @ Sheraton Strategy Room 7 - Creating Community within Choral Ensembles using Flexible Repertoire
Dr. Mark Ramsay, Saturday 1:00 pm @ Fallsview Studio C
While we are very excited about these presentations and the many other scheduled workshops and keynotes, what we most look forward to is the chance to reconnect with our incredible alumni to celebrate your professional and personal accomplishments from the past year. For the first time since the pandemic, we will be hosting a Western Reception on Friday evening, November 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the Upper Fallsview Studio B in the Sheraton. We hope that you will join us!
I look forward to seeing you at Synergy 2023.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kevin Watson
