ASSOCIATION FOR TECHNOLOGY IN MUSIC INSTRUCTION (ATMI)
2008 CALL FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
_____________________________________________

The ATMI 2008 Program Committee invites the submission of proposals  
for the 2008 Conference. The concurrent national conferences of ATMI  
and the College Music Society will be held in Atlanta, Georgia,  
September 25-28, 2008. 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

_____________________________________________

AWARDS
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 ($250). In  
order to qualify for the student award, the presenter must be  
enrolled as a student at the time of the conference.

Faculty members should encourage outstanding students to submit  
proposals. Additional information on these awards may be found at the  
ATMI website <http://www.atmionline.org/>.
_____________________________________________

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE
January 21, 2008. A complete Proposal Form is included at the end of  
this announcement. A downloadable version is available at the ATMI  
website <http://www.atmionline.org/>.
_____________________________________________

CONFERENCE SESSIONS
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. These will follow  
the usual electronic poster session format.

A Conference Proceedings Index will be available, which will point to  
presenter's sites to provide centralized access to conference topics.

PRESENTATION TOPICS
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

PRESENTATION FORMATS

ELECTRONIC PERFORMANCE: The Association renews its efforts to present  
musical performances featuring the use of MIDI, digital audio, or  
other media technologies.  If relevant, the proposal should include  
specific information regarding the ensemble and its relation to  
curricular goals. Encouraged are solo, chamber, or ensemble  
performance proposals, demonstrations of unique electronic  
instruments, or performance-related compositional activities  
involving music technology. (If you know of performers, ensembles, or  
presenters that meet this description, please forward this message to  
the appropriate person!) NOTE: ATMI cannot provide funding/ 
compensation for the travel or lodging of any performers. At least  
one person involved in the presentation (e.g., director, performer,  
composer) must be an ATMI member. Submitting a proposal indicates the  
intent to attend the conference and deliver the presentation.

PAPERS AND PANELS: Traditional academic papers and panels dealing  
with music technology in any manner are welcome.

DEMONSTRATIONS: Appropriate are demonstrations that focus on newly  
authored software from all aspects of the music curriculum. We also  
encourage demonstrations on existing software that are especially  
useful in instructional and creative purposes. Especially welcomed  
are applications that take an innovative approach to music teaching  
and learning. Proposals should include a complete description of the  
software's design and its use in the teaching environment.

TRAINING SESSIONS/WORKSHOPS: People looking for practical ways to  
expand their skills often attend ATMI sessions. The Program Committee  
would like to serve this constituency by offering short training  
sessions tailored to attendees with novice and intermediate skill  
levels. Submissions in this category should focus on the presenter's  
level of experience and background. A one-hour limit will be placed  
on these workshops. Presenters will need to provide the appropriate  
software, preferably on CD-ROM. NOTE: We will have a lab of Apple  
computers, each with a MIDI controller, connected via a group  
education controller available for these sessions. Special  
consideration may be given to those who take advantage of this lab.

ELECTRONIC POSTER SESSION(S): The conference will host at least one  
computer-based poster session, in which multiple presenters will  
concurrently show material in a large display area. Especially  
encouraged are one-on-one or small-group presentations or  
demonstrations of research, interactive music lab software, work in  
progress, and examples of student work. Proposals should include a  
complete description of the material to be presented. If appropriate,  
graphic images or actual software samples may be included with a  
proposal submission, but should be clearly described in the text of  
the proposal. NOTE: Poster session participants must supply all  
necessary presentation hardware and software.

NORMAL CONFERENCE EQUIPMENT: As in the past, the ATMI room will be  
equipped with a data projector and moderate sound system. At least  
one synthesizer and a MIDI Interface (USB) will be available.

All INTERNET-BASED PRESENTATIONS should be designed to run locally  
(i.e., without actual connection to the Internet) due to the  
unpredictability of conference facility telephone/network lines. If  
an actual connection is *essential* to your proposal, this must be  
indicated in the Specialized Equipment/Software portion of the  
proposal form.

Details regarding specific hardware configurations and installed  
software in the lab room will be available immediately prior to the  
conference. However, you should be prepared to provide whatever non- 
standard software and/or hardware is required for your presentation.

ATMI members who can supply (i.e., bring with them) any of the  
equipment listed here are highly encouraged to contact the Program  
Chair. This will help to defer the significant cost of equipment rental.

Presenters are expected to supply their own laptop computers, which  
must be appropriately configured to work with typical data  
projectors. Consult your local dealer if you are unsure about  
compatibility issues.
