President’s Message
Eric Marshall
It’s already October and everyone will be in the midst of planning, rehearsing,
interacting and engaging students in music making. Welcome to those music
educators who are new to the profession or new to Manitoba. You are part of an
amazing cohort of educators that deliver music education that has become the
envy of other provinces.
Your MMEA continues to be the unified voice for music education in Manitoba.
Together with our partner groups, the Manitoba Band Association, Manitoba
Choral Association, Manitoba Orff Chapter and the Manitoba Classroom Guitar
Association, we do our best to reach out and support every music educator in the
province. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage each of you to
remain involved and engaged with MMEA and our music education partners. If
you have not already done so, please visit our website to register for TEMPO and
renew your memberships.
Manitoba Education
Our relationship with MB Education and Training continues to be strong and
fruitful. We are closely monitoring the impact of 20K3 on teaching in the early
years. As well, we continue to dialogue with MB Education surrounding
curriculum and course coding for Senior Years Music. See our update later in this
newsletter. Related to these topics, we are designing a survey for music teachers
that will provide us with critical information on these topics. When distributed in
early October please take a few minutes to help us by responding to questions
about your teaching situation.
National Conference
Co-Chairs Tanya Derksen and Regan Livingstone are working with a national
team of educators (including many Manitobans) to plan and prepare for the
upcoming National Conference. The CMEA is proud to partner with MMEA on the
first national music conference in over 20 years: Winnipeg, July 9th-11th
2015. The website has just been opened and will be fully operational within a
few weeks. http://cmeaconference.ca
NOTE: To receive a discount for the CMEA/MMEA conference, you need to be a
CMEA member. The most convenient way to become a member of CMEA is to
join when you register for TEMPO this
year. http://mymmea.ca/pd/tempo/index
Our Music Education Family
Bert Kroeker Manitoba lost a pioneer of the school education movement
September 13th 2014 when Bert passed away peacefully at his home. As a young,
energetic and passionate principal, Bert's decision in the mid-60's to start band
programs at Golden Gate School and Fort Richmond Collegiate led to the
introduction of band in many other schools. He served on the boards of the
Manitoba Choral Association and the MBA, and in the early '80's opened the door
to grants and donations by securing MBA's charitable status. In 2007 Bert
received MBA's Award of Distinction. His involvement with Manitoba Choral
Association (he was a lifetime honorary member) was also very extensive. He
served as MCA President, was a founder of ChoralFest Manitoba and established
the Bert Kroeker Scholarship Fund. He served an amazing 50 years as the
conductor of the Sturgeon Creek United Church Choir. The MMEA community
offers its condolences to Bert's wife, Anita and the extended Kroeker family.
Robert Neufeld, the Executive Director of the Manitoba Choral Association, has
been in coping with significant health issues recently. The prognosis is good but
we need to continue to extend our thoughts and prayers for his recovery. The
MCA board and members are stepping up to fill the void and keep the office
running and their projects on track. MMEA extends our hand to them and offers
any help we can.
Ken Epp, the Executive Director of the Manitoba Band Association, has been
diagnosed with advanced cancer. The MBA board has met and is launching the
search for a new executive director. Again, there are challenging times ahead and
MMEA offers our love and support to Ken and his family as well as to the MBA
Board. An offer of help from MMEA has already been
extended.
Manitoba Education and Training Update.
MMEA remains very grateful for the ongoing work of the arts consultants from Manitoba Education.
Thank you Beryl Peters and Julie Mongeon-Ferré. MMEA is happy to provide you with the following
updates on recent activities.
9-12 Music Curriculum Frameworks
● It’s Here! Go to the following link for the new Senior Years Curriculum Frameworks
● http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/arts/music/framework.htmlhttp://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/
cur/arts/music/framework.html
● Pilot meetings have concluded and revisions are finished
● Course outlines for specific SY music courses will proceed as time and resources permit.
● The draft 9-12 framework will be posted in different sections beginning with the outcomes.
Front matter, glossaries, appendices, bibliography, and acknowledgements will be posted at a
later date.
● The posted 9-12 Music framework will remain in draft form for the 2014-2015 school year.
Feedback to inform the finalized version will be welcome up to March 1, 2015. A survey form to
collect feedback will be available online and at the Manitoba Professional Learning Environment
(MaPLE).
Course Codes for Senior Years Music
● Manitoba Education has been working closely with educators on providing protocols and
information regarding course codes for Senior Years music courses.
● There is opportunity to provide many diverse and authentic music making experiences.
● Students will be able to receive 8 full course credits per year in music (2 ½ courses = 1 full
course)
o A school will be able to offer more than 8 different music courses at each level, by
assigning a course code to more than one subject.
o Note: this could be very challenging technically, and logistically, so there may be some
local restrictions that will apply.
● Private music credit options and IB music are not counted in the total.
● It is understood that SICs will be available for those courses that fall outside of our music
curriculum frameworks.
K-8 Music Curriculum Frameworks
● Resource development and implementation support continues to be important to Manitoba
Education. See the online support for the K-8 Music Curriculum Frameworks.
Manitoba Music Month 2014
● Another successful Music Month Concert series (April 2014) with a new dedicated French
concert was received very positively.
● Thank you to Leanne Jensen for many hours of volunteer time and outstanding organization and
production efforts to ensure the success of the concerts.
Administrators Handbook
● A guide for implementation of Arts courses for administrators and educators is being drafted.
● This will prove valuable in providing more consistent and clear protocols and guidelines for
creating, implementing and supporting music courses.

MUSIC FOR CHILDREN – CARL ORFF
CANADA –MUSIQUE POUR ENFANTS
The Importance of Music Education – from an Orff Perspective
~ with highlights from Play! ~
The emotional connection made through music is powerful. It brings us
together, it makes us feel, it is makes us whole, and it makes us
healthy. It goes far beyond just playing music. Being able to create
something and make it our own is that much more meaningful, and
creating something together with others, strengthens us even more as
people.
This past June, the Manitoba Orff Chapter celebrated the 40th
Anniversary of Carl Orff Canada by presenting Play! at the Forks. I was
truly moved by the children’s involvement, the teacher dedication, and
the sense of community demonstrated by all who were involved. I am
inspired, more than ever, to advocate for music specialists and the Orff
approach to music education here in Manitoba.
We have an incredibly active arts culture in our province. We have a
strong music foundation and tradition rooted here in Manitoba. Music is
loved and supported by many. Manitoba students are taught by highly
qualified Music specialists. Our Manitoba Orff Chapter, is one of the
largest in North America, representing close to 200 Orff educators. Our
MOC events and workshops also reach rural members as we advocate
for the importance of Orff education in all of Manitoba. Nation-wide, our
Manitoba Music Educator’s Association is highly regarded and works
tirelessly to ensure support for Music education, acting as our primary
advocate.
I am proud to be a music specialist here in Manitoba. Manitoba Music
education is strong, supported and in a good place, but this won’t
continue to be the case if we were to stand idle. We all know the
importance of Music education, but we all need to continue to advocate
for its need. This includes advocacy at the school, divisional and
community level, advocacy from the provincial level through the MMEA
and its affiliate organizations, including the MOC, and advocacy from
the national level.
The high caliber of music education in our schools is primarily due to
the amazing teachers and the countless hours of hard work that go into
their programs. Play! was an opportunity for us and the general public
to get a glimpse of music education’s incredible impact and how
important what we do every day is. Thank you to all who were involved.
I was left truly inspired, as were many others.

A conversation with Kevin Doell
with Doug Breckman
September 2014
I recently had the honour of interviewing Kevin Doell, Administrator at Springfield Middle
School as well as Music Program Leader in the Sunrise School Division. Since Kevin has been a
music educator for many years and now wears two “hats” and I was interested in the perspective
we often don’t have the opportunity to hear: that of an educator and school administrator.
Give us a brief synopsis on how you became a music educator.
At around age 5, I recall my dad and uncles being heavily involved with sports in the small
community of Winkler. However sports was only part of the equation, and the first time I heard
my dad and his brothers playing the piano, cornet and singing in our house, I knew I wanted to
do the same: play sports and make music. That to me was cool! I was inspired by my trumpet
teacher and grade 5 band director, Gary Pollard, and also took piano lessons from his wife,
Carole. However, in high school we had many music teachers and I saw the negative effect
teacher turnover had on our program. I remember thinking that the kids deserved better and I
wanted to make a difference.
What is a memorable experience from your teaching career?
Together with Roger Mantie, taking a leap of faith to develop a public
school band program in Dauphin. We were able to go from 0 to 450
junior and high school students. Everyone in the community rallied
around the music program. It was an amazing feeling to be a part of a
group who supported the effort to bring something new to their
schools. The countless hours building and promoting the program
taught me a great deal about teaching and how to work with people.
What brought you to Oakbank?
It was a very difficult decision to leave Dauphin. A change in the
administration amounted to a change in the support for music. It was
time for a change so when an opportunity presented itself in Oakbank,
away we went.
How has the MBA supported your teaching career?
Tempo has been very crucial...the chance to connect with directors who knew what they were
doing was extremely valuable. My opportunity to serve on the MBA board also helped shape the
way I did things in my band room. The chance to work with colleagues, to work with Ken Epp
and learn from the way he did business: the board’s professionalism, collegiality, and passion
was very inspiring. While Dauphin was some distance from Winnipeg, it was nice to know there
was a community of professionals available to help at any time. I appreciate all of the programs
that MBA supports and hold them in high regard.
You remain a very active clinician and adjudicator. What are some trends that you have
noticed over the years about band programs?
This is a tough question. Manitoba is home to some amazing band programs and we are riding a
“wave” created by some incredibly strong people who paved the way for us. However, when
things are going well it is easy to become complacent. When programs are suffering, sometimes
teachers need to be more active in dealing with the challenges required to maintain or build their
program. Without high quality music education enrollment may drop to a point where the
administrator has to cut some funding. At the same time many teachers demonstrate tremendous
passion and care, and the impact this has on the success of their students and music program is
clear to see.
When and why did you make the decision to become a school administrator and leave the
music room?
The “revolving door” experience I witnessed as a high school student (5 teachers in 3 years)
helped me realize that I did not want to be a teacher who was becoming tired and complacent.
After 16 years of “Hot Cross Buns” I knew I was getting tired. While still passionate about
music I wasn’t feeling the same drive. So when a school music consultant position opened
which would allow me to remain active in directly supporting music programs in our
communities, I took it.
What are some similarities with leading a school as an administrator and leading a music
program as a director?
We show our students we care when we hold them accountable. It is far too easy not to care
when a student takes the easy way out by not practicing or holding themselves accountable. It is
tough to call students on their poor choices, but it shows we care. Students recognize when a
teacher doesn’t show they care and will model that same lack of care. I bring the same standards
to my staff and with due respect and courtesy will call them when necessary.
What advice can you give to other school administrators in supporting their music
programs?
School administrators need to understand that the challenges faced by a music teacher and a
classroom teacher are different. Not all schedules and prep time need to be the same; in fact they
can’t be. The music teacher is “on” 100% of the time when they are with students and need extra
time to complete some of the administrative duties.
Is there anything you would like to share with the Manitoba band community?
I have been incredibly blessed to share my love of music with so many wonderful students and
incredibly talented and dedicated music educators. We truly have a strong music community in
our province. We need to guard against complacency or feeling entitled in any way. Many
school music programs enjoy strong support from both administration and parents. We need to
continue working toward the highest standard. This includes an ongoing review of how we
educate future educators. Technology and the music industry are changing and the preparation
of our music teacher candidates has never been more important.
WANTED: Exemplary Principals
who support music in schools!!!
Do you know a really great Principal who has made
a positive difference in your music program?
Have you ever wondered how you might recognize and reinforce that support? If so, the
Coalition for Music Education encourages you to submit her/his name for a
Principal of Music Award. Every Fall, the Coalition celebrates the work of (3) exemplary
Principals, each representing a different region of the country. In addition to national
recognition, your Principal will receive a cash award of $1,500 to be applied to your program.
Applications are due
by October 31, 2014
Too busy to complete the
application? Have a parent, another
teacher, a student council member
nominate your Principal.

Sibelius: Finlandia
Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor
Kjartan Sveinsson: Credo
Sibelius: Symphony No. 7 in C major
Jean Sibelius created music that was extraordinarily fluid, epic
in character and wonderfully individual. No more so than in
his Violin Concerto, regarded among the finest concertos of its
kind. The Seventh Symphony ranks with the greatest of Sibelius’
output, while Finlandia has long been an audience favorite for
its hearty Finnish nationalism. Former Sigur Rós keyboardist
Kjartan Sveinsson’s Credo is a serene work that will feature the
superb singers of Manitoba’s own Prairie Voices.
