Dear Colleagues,

The AMS Pedagogy Study Group invites all AMS and SMT members to attend a 
poster session in L.A. on Saturday, November 4, from 1-2 P.M.  Six 
presenters will be on hand to discuss innovative approaches to teaching 
music history courses and to share examples of course activities, 
syllabi, and on-line course materials.

We also invite interested AMS members to attend the PSG business meeting 
from 12:00-12:30 on November 4, where we will hold elections, vote on 
by-laws, and establish an agenda for the coming year. 

The topics of our poster session presenters address music appreciation 
courses, interdisciplinary studies, intersections with popular culture, 
and applications for pedagogical research in the classroom:
