The ATMI 2009 Program Committee invites the submission of proposals for the 2009 Conference. The concurrent national conferences of ATMI and the College Music Society (CMS) will be held in Portland, Oregon, October 22–19, 2009. Proposals dealing with any aspect of technology in music instruction and/or electronic performance are welcome. The Association is particularly interested in presentations that focus on:

* Music technology curricular and programmatic interests
* Online music instruction: local, regional, national, and international
* Multimedia: integrating text, graphics, video, audio, etc.
* Creative pedagogies/technological tools: music learning, composition, etc.
* Performance incorporating music technology
* Uses of MIDI, digital audio, etc. in ensembles
* Research on the effectiveness of music technology
* Student-created projects involving music technology

 

ATMI will recognize outstanding presentations in two categories. Monetary awards will be given for the best conference-wide presentation ($100) and the best student presentation ($190). In order to qualify for the student award, the presenter must be enrolled as a student at the time of the conference.  This includes any student whose status is ABD at the time of the conference.  Faculty members should encourage outstanding students to submit proposals. The conference will offer a variety of presentation formats, including papers, panels, demonstrations, training sessions/workshops, electronic poster sessions, and performances involving technology software/hardware. In addition, the intended audience will be identified with regard to prior music technology experiences or comfort level (e.g., general, novice, intermediate, or advanced). Presenters are encouraged to reserve five minutes at the end of their time slots for brief question and answer periods. Presenters are strongly encouraged to propose electronic poster sessions. This venue is particularly appropriate for graduate students engaged in relevant and timely research. The Association strongly encourages students to present their own projects, though a faculty ATMI member may submit the official proposal.

Proposals must be submitted for blind review. Authors must exclude references to individuals or institutions within the body of the proposal that might compromise this process. Proposals for papers should include clear statements of background, methodology, content to be covered, and conclusions. Demonstration proposals may be accompanied by a Training Session/Workshop proposal. Prior to submission to the Program Committee, these proposals may be edited by the Program Chair to facilitate the blind review process.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 19, 2009.
