I was off to Dallas, Texas to attend the annual NAFME (National Association For Music Educators) National Conference!! I had a wonderful time learning all sorts of new music technology, exploring different teaching methods and philosophies, checking out new repertoire for our Band and Choral programs, learning all about the Ukulele and Rock Bands and how they can be incorporated into our school's program, and even exploring more of the new National Core Arts Standards and their application in the Amagansett School Music Curriculum! I even met a special friend of our younger students....someone who's program we are ALWAYS using.......
It was a great five days but I'm excited to be back and to get things going for all of the wonderful presentations we have planned for this coming holiday season!!!
