Resource
for Cellists and Composers
The Orpheus Alliance website now contains
a re-issue of a series of four articles written for Living Music
by Craig Hultgren of Birmingham Southern College. The text is illuminated
with videos of Hultgren playing the examples of scores that appear in
the articles. This enables the student to see the score while viewing
its performance. The site is entirely in Flash. It is located at: http://www.colleges.org/~music/cello/index.html
The resource should be valuable
for instructors, performers and composers. Please send your comments to
Craig Hultgren at chultgre@bsc.edu.
Instructors of other applied instruments who are interested in creating similar projects for their instruments should contact Patricia Gray at gray@colleges.org.

Teach
Together via Technology Workshop - June 1-9
(Open to all faculty; teams encouraged)
The ACS Technology Center will be holding a summer 2004 seminar for individuals
and teams who want to learn more about inter-campus teaching in the liberal
arts using the web environment. Seasoned staff and faculty, all veterans
of team-taught web courses, will demonstrate the faculty-friendly Course
Delivery System software developed at the Tech Center, and offer advice
on designing and running such courses. There will be plenty of opportunities
for hands-on practice, as well as time to work on course content. Teams
are especially welcome, and we will assist in finding collaborators. Contact
Rebecca Davis, rdavis@colleges.org
for more information if you are interested. Applications are available
here.
