This seminar will also serve to connect you with the latest ideas, thought leaders, strategies, and technologies that are pushing music education into the 21st Century.

I look forward to connecting and celebrating our passion for music while learning from each other how we can best tackle the day-to-day challenges that come from working in an ever-changing environment with our diverse communities. We are all in this together and there has never been a more exciting time to be connecting students to the world through music and the arts.
