Welcome to the APME Los Angeles 2024 conference. Here you’ll be able to register for the conference and update your Sched profile. A draft of the conference schedule will be available beginning March 1. At that time, you’ll be able to view the schedule and select what presentations you’d like to attend. If you have any questions, please visit our conference website or contact us at conference@popularmusiceducation.org We look forward to coming together as a community June 5–8 to consider the past, present, and future of popular music education.
One of the ways teachers are introducing popular music into their classroom is through the use of a Modern Band ensemble. The purpose of this study is to examine how one modern band teacher in an urban school setting responds to the musical interests and cultures of the students in their classroom.
