The Northeast Chapter of The College Music Society is pleased to announce its Call for Program Participation for its 45th Conference on March 23-24, 2024, hosted by Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pennsylvania.
The Program Committee welcomes proposals for demonstrations, discussion panels, scholarly research papers, posters, and workshops relating to all aspects of music creation, performance, scholarship, teaching, learning, career considerations, and other areas of interest to the music professional. The Committee invites the broadest representation from the music profession and its interests, and welcomes proposals from faculty, students, retirees, and independent musicians from all educational and professional settings.
This call is for paper, poster, and panel discussion proposals, as well as similar formats such as demonstrations and workshops. Please see separate calls for performance/lecture-recital and composition proposals.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION & PARTICIPATION POLICY
PREPARATION OF MATERIALS
Preparing an Abstract—The Program Committee chooses presentations based primarily on the abstract as submitted, so it is important to write an abstract that the Committee will understand and can evaluate fairly. The purpose of the abstract is to convey to the reader what will be said in the presentation. Do not merely describe the subject or list the topics to be covered. Rather, state the main point of the presentation, outline the subsidiary points, and summarize the evidence offered, so that a reader who has not heard the presentation will know in brief what will be discussed and can evaluate its contribution to our knowledge and understanding of music. The abstract, like the presentation itself, should be clear to an audience of musicians and music educators of all kinds, not just to those with a narrow specialty. While it may be necessary to set the context or lay out the problem addressed, this should be kept to a minimum.
Please note:
Submissions that do not conform to the above guidelines will not be considered.
NORTHEAST CHAPTER STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION
Student members of the College Music Society who are selected to present a paper at the conference are automatically considered for the Diane W. Follet Outstanding Student Scholarship Award. The following guidelines apply to the competition:
