Eugene Cantera of the Dallas School of Music:
Are You Making These Common Website Mistakes?
Eugene Cantera is a partner at the Dallas School of Music and a founding member of the dlp Music Program. He serves as the Director of Social Media for both organizations. He is a saxophonist but teaches many instruments and performs in the Dallas area in the rock and jazz genres. Eugene recently returned from an artist in residency at the Wilderness School in Adelaide, Australia where he taught and performed with several ensembles.
Eugene was kind enough to join me on this week’s podcast, where we talked about some tips & tricks to optimize your website and social media. A large percentage of the Dallas School of Music’s clientele is online, so they’ve developed some serious digital chops along the way.
The Top 10 Mistakes on Your Music Program’s Website
1. Poor Overall Aesthetic Design – Want good examples? Check out Google, Amazon, or Samsung: simple, clean, functional.
2. Marginal Functionality and Navigation – you must make it easy to get around your site in just a few clicks
3. No Optimization – let’s face it, many of you have no idea what SEO means nor do you have the time or patience to learn. But adding relevant keywords and phrases to your site is only the beginning of the process that will help people find you.
4. Lack of or Poor Choice of Keywords – these improve the overall chances that your website will be indexed by search engines.
5. Lack of or Poor Descriptors – meta tags are yet another device that provide information to search engines. Though they aren’t a “magical solution” they can definitely help ensure your website appears on search engine results pages.
6.Lack of or Poor Choice of Images – most music sites use outdated images or worse, those cute spinning quarter notes. But the moms, dads and admins that you want to attract are more savvy than that.
7. Little or hard to find Contact Info – this is our pet peeve. Your contact info should be easy to obtain in just one or two clicks!
8. No Main Message – what’s your message? Are you fundraising? Are you passionate about music education? Is your site about a particular annual event or a specific band program?
9. No Social Media – if you are not using Twitter and Facebook for starters, you are missing a chance to connect with a large and growing number of like-minded people. If you are using social media, it should be proudly displayed on your site and you should actively solicit followers.
10. Static Content – The number of outdated sites we see is astounding. If the last update to your site was done in 2008—Houston, we have a problem. Your site should always reflect what’s currently happening in your organization and outdated info should be removed or archived.
Need help with any of this? We specialize in custom web design and hosting for music oriented sites. Check out our program here.

He studied film and also auditioned for the Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps and marched for one year. He was the Music Director at the University of Iowa College radio station, KRUI, when he decided to start his career in sound editing for movies.

http://kathleenheuer.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/MME-promo-mac-smith-sound.mp4About Mac Smith
Mac Smith (documentary filmmaker and sound designer) was born into a family of tuba players in Omaha, Nebraska. His parents and older siblings exposed him to films that were a bit mature for his age, and a wide variety of musical styles. Films that stand out from his early childhood are “Murder By Death”, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, and “The Blues Brothers”. It was on that fateful day when his parents took him to see “Star Wars” in the theater in 1977 that changed it all. After that viewing, Mac knew that he wanted to make movies when he grew up. Mac experimented with video cameras, and picture editing throughout his childhood. He went off to Los Angeles at age 17 to take the Summer Production Workshop at USC Film School, and then made his home in Iowa City at the University of Iowa. Mac marched in the sousaphone section of the Hawkeye Marching Band, and studied film at Iowa. During his time in Iowa City, Mac decided to audition for the Madison Scouts drum & bugle corps in Madison, Wisconsin. He marched as a contra player for only one year due to age eligibility in 1995.
The lightbulb really went off for Mac when he got his hands on early digital audio editing software while he was the Music Director at the University of Iowa college radio station, KRUI. This is where sound and picture came together in his mind. The decision was made to start his career in sound editing for movies. Within a year of moving to Northern California, he found his way into the movie industry. Mac has worked on post production sound for over 75 films (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” “The Birth of a Nation,” “Toy Story 3,” “Tron Legacy,” “Rango”) and has been nominated for 10 Golden Reel awards (Motion Picture Sound Editing).
In 2011, Mac and Tom Tollefsen started developing the concept of a documentary film that focuses on the drum corps activity that they wanted to direct and produce. The film, “Scouts Honor: Inside a Marching Brotherhood” screened at four film festivals from 2014 to 2015 and took home 3 awards. Through the “Theatrical on Demand” company Gathr, “Scouts Honor” screened in nearly 30 theaters around the USA in 2015 and 2016. In June, the film was released on DVD and Bluray and now it’s coming out on iTunes on November 8th.

This episode of the Marketing Music Education podcast is the second half of my conversation with Eric Martin of Music for All. Listen to part 1 here.
In the second installment, we discuss Music for All’s ticket pricing, and how Eric and his team strive to deliver a “‘Disney-like’ experience on a Mickey Mouse budget.” We cover how local music programs can implement ideas from Music for All and other sources, and how to tell if you’re stealing an idea, or just researching it. We discuss Eric’s leadership style and talk about who’s influenced him. We delve into funding for music education, including fundraising and sponsorship, and go deeper into the importance of music education advocacy at the local level. Finally, Eric shares the advice he’d give the parent of a potential incoming music student, the advice he’d give your music program, and the very best way he knows how to market music education.

In this episode of the Marketing Music Education podcast, I sat down with Eric Martin of Music for All. He’s one of my favorite people to talk to, and we covered a lot: enough for two episodes! Listen to the second episode here.
In this first installment, we talk about his experience as an African-American band student in a recently desegregated school, his love of the marching arts, his background as an aviation lawyer and how he got into event production. We also discuss the importance of music education and the power of music—and live events—in our society, and why Sarah Palin is a role model of his. We also touch on burnout and its effects not just on music educators, but on nonprofit staffers like those at Music for All and like the parent volunteers that power music programs like yours.

In my travels to Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in December, I sat in on a session presented by Christopher Bill, a YouTube artist who recently hit it big with his cover of Pharrell Williams‘ Happy. He agreed to talk with me about his background, how he approached his college education and why he wouldn’t recommend it, and working as a musician in the 21st century.
About Christopher Bill
Photo credit: Scott Streble
Chris is an up-and-coming musician based outside of New York City. He has been playing piano since he was 6 years old, trombone since he was 10, and he has been composing/arranging since he was 12.
He has a Bachelor of Music for classical trombone performance at the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music in New York. While at the conservatory he studied with critically acclaimed trombonists Weston Sprott (Metropolitan Opera), Denson Paul-Pollard (Metropolitan Opera), John Fedchock (Grammy Nominated Jazz Trombonist), and the absolutely incomparable Timothy Albright.
Chris is best known for his all-trombone arrangements of popular songs. His YouTube Channel has been gaining popularity since the summer of 2012 when he posted his version of Owl City’s “Fireflies” for six trombones. More recently, a cover of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” where Chris uses a looping station to compose the song on the spot went viral in the spring of 2014. His videos have since amassed over 8 million views and a following of over 65,000 subscribers. In April 2014, Chris independently released his first cover album, Breakthrough, followed by his Christmas album, Smiling’s My Favorite.
Since graduating from the Purchase Conservatory, Chris enjoys a busy schedule of performances, clinics, and masterclasses. He is a well known face at festivals such as the American Trombone Workshop and the International Trombone Festival.

Joining me on the podcast today is Fran Kick. He is a renowned author and speaker who has spent time as a band director and in clinical psychology. Fran served on the leadership staff of the Music For All Summer Symposium last month, and that’s where we sat down to talk.
Here are the highlights with Fran Kick
02:07 Leadership training for students and parents
03:20 Bring a friend!
04:02 The one thing booster groups can do TODAY to improve: have every parent attend one school board meeting
05:50 The number one excuse parents use to get out of attending school board meetings
07:10 “Relentlessly positive:” persistence pays off
08:50 The difference between 90% in music versus 90% in an academic classroom
09:24 Leadership for volunteers: appreciation is the key
10:41 “When people feel appreciated, they’re willing to give more.”
11:18 The surprising source of many Music for All volunteers
12:30 The type of person Music for All attracts
13:25 Recruiting and retention of music students
14:05 How a music student is like French pastry
15:02 Time commitment: How much is too much?
16:11 The case for releasing the students from the band room occasionally
17:09 Music students and directors need to interact with the rest of the world
18:09 The band director who was reprimanded for “mobilizing” his parents to advocate
18:49 How to virtually guarantee buy-in from administrators
21:07 How to change the culture of a school and a community
21:21 Instead of a mic drop at the end, there’s a pen drop
Here’s the bit on the band director who was reprimanded for “mobilizing” his parents to advocate for the music program:
“Faced with the prospect that Parrott Middle School’s band would be eliminated for the coming school year, Harrin helped mobilize a group of supporters to speak during a Hernando County School Board meeting in May.... But Harrin’s efforts have landed him in some hot water with Hernando High principal Leechele Booker.
“After the May 6 board meeting, Booker gave Harrin, who served as the band director for both Hernando High and Parrott this past school year, a “letter of direction,” reprimanding him for his actions.
“‘This letter of direction is being given to you for assembling a group of students and parents from (Hernando) to attend a school board meeting with the sole purpose of voicing a complaint about the assumed demise of the band program at (Parrott),’ she wrote in a May 9 letter.
“In her letter, Booker wrote that Harrin failed to follow proper procedures for lodging a complaint.
“‘Please keep in mind that you have an obligation to make reasonable precautions to distinguish between your personal views and views that negatively represent (Hernando High),’ she said.
Here’s Fran at the 2011 Music for All Summer Symposium:
Thanks for bearing with me during my learning curve while I work to improve the audio quality. It bugs me, too!

Glenn Nierman is the current president of the National Association for Music Education. A blog post was published alleging that NAfME CEO Michael Butera made controversial comments about race and diversity at a recent event hosted by the National Endowment for the Arts. That’s when Dr. Nierman found himself near the eye of a public relations firestorm.
Halftime Magazine has a great recap of the timeline of events here.
Dr. Nierman was kind enough to join me Friday afternoon to talk about the week’s turn of events, and what comes next for NAfME. Here’s what we discussed.
Questions for NAfME president Glenn NiermanHow are board members selected?
How can NAfME’s current policies be adjusted to encourage increased diversity?
What was the selection process for the new CEO? Why was interim leadership not appointed?
What kind of experience does new CEO Michael Blakeslee have with diversity?
Where do the issues with diversity in music education begin? Are we not recruiting diverse students into music ed to begin with?
What would you tell people about what happened this week and what comes next?
How can music educators nationwide help increase diversity?
Ready to discuss?So were we. Check out this Blab roundtable featuring Matthew Stultz of Together We Can, Olin Hannum of the AMusEd podcast, Bruce Faske of the Get Some Grit podcast, and via chat, Scott Lang of Scott Lang Leadership.

Gary Doherty is spearheading a conversation that is long overdue, particularly in the field of music education. We were introduced at Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic by mutual friend Cam Stasa (who gets an associate producer credit for this episode). After just a few moments with him, I knew that Gary Doherty could speak with authority on the importance of self-care and wellness for music educators (and volunteers!) as someone who had spent thirty years in the trenches of music ed and performance, and paid the price.
He looked at me and he said, “Within 12 months you’ll be dead. THEN who’s gonna take care of the...

He talks about what came next on his journey, and how his relationship with food has changed. We cover the paleo lifestyle, the slow food movement, and his adult beverages of choice, influenced by his secondary career as a mixologist.
