It feels good to start seeing each-other more in person again. We are lucky we could use zoom through last year but having in-person interactions has been wonderful. We have some wonderful events planned this year and I'm hoping to see you all at some of these events!

Sincerely,

Jacqui

President, Southern MaineMTA

Time: 9AM-10AM

Where: Stone Coast Music

Address: 400 US-1 North Falmouth, Maine

It's in the same building as Christine Kissack and Jacqui Savage's studios but on the other side. This is Liz Hasbrouck's new space! There is a sign for parking

TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION: How do you motivate students to practice?

Please SAVE THE DATE. We will plan to have a presentation and time for discussion. More information to come!

We are hoping to give students in your studios a chance to perform outdoors in the Spring. We kicked it off last year and it was a wonderful event. The board will be talking about where to hold this event and we hope to have two digital pianos and a PA System so students can play and/or sing if they choose.

We are hoping to host this in a large public park

Please join us virtually to connect with other teachers in our state. Discussion information and topics will be provided in upcoming months. Zoom info will be sent prior to event. Hope to see you there!
