In my more than 30 years working in music education, I have observed a great deal of change. However, one constant is the overwhelming impact that music teachers have on the overall success of their students.

Ever notice the energy and excitement we all feel when we anticipate the arrival of a new calendar year? I enjoy those times! The opportunity to start fresh is exhilarating.

Wouldn't you like to find new ways to get parents more involved with their students' home practice and progress? 

A school's music program can be a catalyst for uniting the community with ensembles serving as ambassadors not only around campus but also around town.
