District lll Music Educators Meet
September 30, 200935 Attend Fall Meeting in Richmond
I left my cubby later than I had hoped to at the end of the day because I wanted the chance to have conversations with as many District III music educators as I could before supper. Ahhhhh, the best of plans! As it turned out, I got there just a few minutes before supper. I was greeted by the new Chair, Virgil Bozeman.
I was surprised to see so many teachers when I walked into the room. I have attended District III meetings for the past three years. I appreciate the opportunity to participate and grateful for the time I am given to share information from the Department.
But mostly what I am happy about is the number of teachers, 35, who choose to attend an evening away from their homes to socialize with colleagues, share music education business and learn from each other. Whether it is an informal conversation or a voting matter these people clearly respect one another and the work that each do in their respective schools. It is moments like tonight that I feel proud! My only regret is that I didn’t have my camera to take a picture of the group so I could post it here!

I would very much like to join some informal discussions with area music teachers. How can I be invited to make a presentation to various district groups? I’m particularly interested in letting them know about an opportunity for their students to be showcased through the upcoming From the Top. More information is available on an earlier post September 13th. I know there are many talented young musicians in Maine inspired by great teachers!
Great idea Barri Lynn! I suggest you contact the president of MMEA, Sam Moore Young, I will send you her email address. Perhaps she will provide you with email addresses for the district chairs or send an email to all of them for you.
