July 2 to July 5
- Virtual Convention 2021 - Unity Through Music
Dear Teachers,
The state has not sent me any certificates or seals or medals for seniors yet. I am currently setting up individual excel spread sheets of your students scores. I will send them out to confirm the number of branch honors ribbons you get for your students. Once I am ready, I will send each of you, IF you have students that earn branch honors, your excel spreadsheet. If I do not hear from you, I will assume my number is correct and I will give you that many BH ribbons.
If you are a makeup student, you will not get one as make up students usually make up their testing after BH recitals. So the excel spreadsheet that I am sending you will not include make up scores. ALSO some ribbons are green, some are rainbow. I have 270 green ones left so everybody will get both. If you have a very small number of ribbons, then you will only get green. My suggestion is to give the green ones to your first timers.
The state is going to make the certificates with the seals already on it, at least that is what they told me so far. So I don't have to do them. STILL WAITING.
Getting ready for Summer! Just spend a week in Oregon in Silver Falls State Park, where there are 11 waterfalls to hike to! IT was 10 miles of up and down hills!

For teachers who has senior/s this year
There will be a senior award rectal on May 23 online with Zoom. If your student is interested in participating, please send me their name, piece, op#, movement, key, and composer. This will be a live recital, no recordings. I will make a program and send to the teachers online, and you will send them to your students.
Time: to be announced, but it will be in the afternoon, maybe 3 pm or 4 pm.
I am going to pick up the plaques next week and then have them at the doors of Jeanne Fisher, Grace Cheng, or me, for pick up. It would be nice if the teachers were there at the zoom recital to celebrate their student's achievements, say a few words, present the plaque.
I have no medals however, as the state has not sent me any yet, but if they do, I will make sure to send it out as soon as possible.

CM Chair

Hello everyone!
Music Students’ Service League (MSSL) is a student-run group of volunteers with the mission to promote happiness achieved through musical entertainment as well as developing musical appreciation for the underprivileged members of society, especially our elderly citizens. Despite the ongoing pandemic, we still host recitals by pre-recording performances and send them to senior living centers to brighten up our elderly’s day. We are planning to host monthly recitals in this coming year via online or in-person if permitted by health experts.
If you’re interested in joining us, please print, fill out, and follow the directions on the form:
Students of all skill levels are encouraged to join! Not only is this opportunity a great way to fulfill your service hours requirement, but you also get some well-needed practice for recitals and competitions!

- Gooseneck iPhone holder from Amazon, which can be attached to the piano lid to provide a top down view of the keyboard
- New online platform: www.rockoutloud.live, better sound quality for online music teaching. Must use Google Chrome to have the best experience. You also can book a free demo to experience the sound.
- Free video service, Flipgrid, is helping students to record online easily. Some school uses it, because it is super user friendly. Once you sign up, you create a topic (for example CM piano recording 1) and add verbal instructions, create an example video, etc. Next, set the parameters, for example, how long the video could ne, which students can access it, and send a join code to the students. They don't have to create an account. On their side, they open the video, click record and viola! (*Tips from Maretha Davel)
