Zachary Gates is a choral, piano, and music technology teacher for
grades 6-7 in East Brunswick Public Schools, NJ. As a graduate of
Westminster Choir College, he has performed choral works with the
New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, and Philadelphia
Orchestra. Zachary can be seen in a televised performance of
Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra at
Princeton University and can also be heard in the Deutsche
Grammophon release of Bernstein's Mass
with the Philadelphia Orchestra. During his work involving choral
conducting, he has brought high-school choral ensembles to perform
at the NAfME Eastern Division Conference and at Carnegie Hall. He
has also
commissioned new works for orchestra and choir by nationally
recognized composers. In addition to his work teaching and
performing choral and classical music, Zachary is a music
technologist, electronic synthesist, studio musician, and music
producer for multiple artists in and around New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and New York. He has presented workshops for Ti:ME,
NAfME Eastern Division, NJMEA, TMEA, PMEA, and the American Choral
Directors Association. His examples of methods for strategic
lesson
planning in choral rehearsals have also been included in recent
publications on choral pedagogy. Zachary's conference work and
research has centered around developing choral methods,
programming, and
projects for 21st century learners, as well as how to best teach
electronic music, electronic synthesis, music production, and
modern music making to students of all ages. In addition to topics
such as coding for music, Zachary has presented on developing his
own "Virtual Choir" after his school district was awarded a grant
to develop the inspired project. Using a lense of Critical
Pedagogy, he seeks to empower students by putting the means of
sound design, beat design, and general modern music
making into their hands. Zachary aims to continue exploring and
teaching how music and technology can be used to enhance music
education for all students.
"Artistic thinking has always been essential to the core focus of
STEM: creatively engaging knowledge to build things and solve
problems. The STEAM concepts herein not only acknowledge that 'A,'
they embrace it, empowering educators to offer skeptical students
an entryway to STEAM through the arts, and analytically minded
students creative ways to express their conclusions." -- Bill
Carbone, Executive Director, Teachrock.org
"Whether you are a music teacher who has been asked to integrate
STEM into your curriculum for the first time,or a seasoned STEM
expert, what Longo and Gates have assembled in this excellent
manuscript is a crystal clear roadmap for a meaningful and relevant
pedagogical approach to STEM integration. Rather than looking at
STEM as a justification for teaching music in schools, this
collection of classroom-tested lesson plans and assessment
strategies focuses on
how music can illustrate why STEM is so important.ÂThis fun and
engaging approach to STEM integration is a must have addition to
any music educator's library." -- Jim Frankel, Founder/Director
of
MusicFirst, Adjunct Associate Professor, Teachers College Columbia
University
"In Integrating STEM with Music, Longo and Gates provide the most
comprehensive resource for a music-centered STEAM approach I have
found available. Using an authentic foundation of integration,
along with practical examples, this is a must-have book for all
21st century music educators." -- Susan Riley, Founder and CEO, The
Institute for Arts Integration and STEAM
