MMEA Roundup
This week, I'm sending some highlights from the Friday MMEA schedule your way. Saturday highlights will be coming soon.
"We are treating your best musicians due to performance injuries. Each presenter will discuss methods of helping your students elementary through high school prevent, and recover from performance injuries. There will be time for Question & Answer."
Presenters: The Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Orchestra
"Incorporating wind players for a full orchestra and performing music from the Classical Period and Early Romantic works. Arranging for the Classical Period Orchestra will also be covered."
American music educator Stephanie Mayer-Sattin (Daoist San Feng Pai name: Mei Mao Zi Yang), instrumental music director at the Bullis School in Potomac, MD and the first American woman to become a 16th-generation, San Feng Sect Taoist martial arts disciple of a 600 year Chinese lineage tradition, will not only demonstrate these martial arts forms, but also produce evidence of their
effectiveness in the music classroom and provide examples of how to successfully incorporate elements of Tai Chi and Qigong into the music rehearsal.
This session is geared toward an audience of college students. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in questions with 1st and 2nd year public school music teachers from P-12 levels and various geographical areas, to gain insight into how to handle various challenges and opportunities at the start of their careers.

Topic: "Favorite composition teaching experience?"
Replies: 2
"I’ve enjoyed teaching quite a few music composition lessons to middle school and high school bands, but I’ve also had some that have been very rough experiences. I thought it might be fun to share some of our success stories to inspire one another."

Forum: Guitar
Topic: "Buying a Guitar"
Replies: 6
"Buying a guitar kind of reminds me of buying a car. There are economy models and then there are luxury cars. What’s the difference? Both models will get you from point A to point B. You know the difference, the ride might be quite a bit nicer in a luxury vehicle."http://musiced.nafme.org/topic/buying-a-guitar/
