Greetings to you all!
There is something that is settling about getting back to routines, seeing the Fall (and Christmas) decor up in the stores and knowing that the summer heat is almost over. I'm excited to see our events come together and I am looking forward to watching our students grow and progress in their study of music this year. Our organization offers SO much to support us as teachers in our General Meetings. It also gives students opportunities to publicly perform, compose their own music, try new forms of music, such as Jazz, to participate in ensemble playing, compete for scholarships and push themselves in their overall musicianship, all while having some fun in the process. I encourage teachers to enter your students in an event that you have never tried before! Talk to other teachers and learn from each other. We have a great community and build lifelong friendships with the common bond of teaching students and loving music.
I also invite you all to spend a fun evening for a great cause at Organ Stop Pizza! This year it occurs on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Get the information to all of your students and enjoy the pizza and music all while helping DVMTA. We need each one of you and your unique gifts and talents to keep DVMTA vibrant and strong. Thank you so much for your time and dedication to help grow DVMTA and the wonderful art of teaching students. Invite friends, share what we do and help our organization grow!
Musically yours,
Diana Palmer
DVMTA President
