In September, Dr. Alec Scherer, Assistant Professor of Music Education, presented two research posters (“Undergraduate Choral Conducting Courses: Examining Students’ Practice Behaviors and Instructors’ Pedagogy” and “High School Band Directors’ Perceptions and Applications of Democratic Rehearsal Procedures in Concert Band Rehearsals”) at the virtual 2021 Symposium on Music Teacher Education. The Society for Music Teacher Education, which hosts the biennial conference, was founded in 1982 as one of the Societies of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME).
