Due to a problem with our publications office, announcements for our 7th
International Technological Directions in Music Learning conference went out
a month later than intended. As a result, the deadline for proposal
submissions has been extended until November 1st. Included below is the
complete conference announcement, including a conference registration form.
This information is also available at the IMR web site (http://imr.utsa.edu)

CALL FOR PAPERS

Announcing the Seventh International
TECHNOLOGICAL DIRECTIONS IN MUSIC LEARNING Conference
January 27 - 29, 2000
sponsored by The Institute for Music Research, The University of Texas at
San Antonio
The Institute for Music Research at the University of Texas at San Antonio
will host the Seventh International Technological Directions in Music
Learning Conference in San Antonio, TX, January 27 - 29, 2000. The purpose
of the conference is to share information concerning current applications of
technology in music learning. The conference will be of interest to music
educators involved in K-12, private studio, or college teaching, music
psychologists, music theorists, composers, and musicologists; as well as
students preparing for any of these professions. Once again, the final day
of the conference will feature a closing session in which all participants
will collaborate in an effort to design strategies for integrating
technology in music learning. This session will build upon ideas offered in
"think-tank" sessions from previous years for the purpose of outlining both
short-term and long-term goals for integrating technology into the music
curriculum as a means of facilitating instructor capabilities and to improve
the educational experience for students.
Plan to attend the opening night reception on January 27th from 5:00 to 7:00
p.m.
