Several of our talented and experienced DVMTA members shared some of their favorite repertoire that they enjoy teaching and that students enjoy learning. It's always exciting to hear new music, and to renew appreciation for music we're already familiar with. Many thanks to our presenters Tammy Shorts, Hong Zhu, Lorri McHardy and Wendi Heslop, and to all members who contributed.

Greetings! What a wonderful time of the year to celebrate all that is great about living in Arizona for the holidays! Our schedules are busy, but our hearts are full of gratitude, excitement, cheer and good will. And don’t forget the music! We hear daily reminders through music of everything that makes us happy during this time of year. As we attend concerts, or gather with family and friends, music allows us to create vivid memories that will bring us joy. I love the holiday story “The Polar Express”, the adventure of one boy who wants to believe in Santa, but isn’t quite sure, until he takes a trip on a magical train to meet and help Santa, before returning home, not quite sure if the event really happened. But he holds onto the memory, and a small bell, and that’s enough to make him believe. Belief is powerful, especially as we try to train young students to believe in themselves, and in the power they have to affect others through their music and performance. The holidays give us wonderful opportunities to share music, and I hope we’ll all have amazing musical experiences this holiday season.

Many thanks to Loriann Hamelwright and her committee of helpers who made this day simply superb! Students performed wonderfully and shared their music with so many!
Cavalcade Music Read Through
DVMTA Members gathered at My First Piano Showroom in Gilbert in anticipation of hearing and playing upcoming Cavalcade of Rhythm 2018 duets. We love the theme this year, "Sounds of the Circus" and we thank the Cavalcade Committee for their efforts to bring us this wonderful music. |
