A basic human right should be access to information as it improves human capability, enriches life and provides independence. As an educator, accessibility begins in design of the content created versus something to fix or correct after. In this session you will learn about the types of accessibility tools for users, how to structure new and existing content for best practices in accessibility and a new tool for Canvas called Ally for assessing your content for the user. This workshop will be held in the evening, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m., via Webex video conferencing. Register for an Accessibility and Content Creation workshop.

As you can see there is no live audience, so I am so grateful for technology and the outstanding work from Mike Laurello to share great music with you tonight.  Before the pandemic, I had planned that my 2020 Faculty Recital would commemorate the 100th anniversary of women getting the vote and mark the importance of our November Presidential election.  My repertoire selections were significantly modified by the pandemic, as I spent months practicing alone. The works of composers such as Amy Beach and Rebecca Clarke were replaced with works by Lauren Bernofsky, Chen Yi, Reena Esmail and Maria Newman.  The Black Lives Matter movement resonated deeply in me, but out of health concerns I didn’t join friends and colleagues in marches and demonstrations. Sadly, I didn’t add my musical voice to the Elijah McClain Violin Vigil held in Bowling Green.  My resolve to support the movement turned into research of works for violin by Black composers. After compiling a rich list of works, my students were assigned to learn at least one of these pieces in the fall semester. As a result, I chose several pieces to prepare for this recital. The composers Jessie Montgomery, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, Edward W. Hardy and Alvin Singleton were previously unknown to me.  I am one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful job teaching the instrument and music that I love to talented students. I am fortunate to be joined by one of my recent graduates Madalyn Navis in works by Alvin Singleton and Maria Newman.  So far all of my students and everyone in my family has remained healthy. But like everyone else, stress and anxiety are a part of each day. My husband and I mourned the loss of his mother without being able to attend the funeral in person. We continued to care for my mother without being able to visit her for extended periods of time. We have not been able to canvas for the upcoming election. We missed the opportunity to travel and spend time with family and friends.  Music has kept me going and will continue to sustain me.  I hope you will be inspired by hearing works by the gifted composers featured tonight. All the best, Penny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the Violin — Hafiz, The Gift (tr. Daniel Ladinsky) When The violin Can forgive the past It starts singing. When the violin can stop worrying About the future You will become Such a drunk laughing nuisance That God Will then lean dow And start combing you into Her Hair. When the violin can forgive Every wound caused by Others The heart starts Singing. Madalyn Navis is a violinist, music educator, and chamber musician currently residing in Northwestern Ohio.
