Dear MMAMTA members,
On behalf of the Mid-Missouri Area Music Teachers Association, thank you for all the hard work you do to make our communities that much better every day. It may be small acts individually, but collectively, we have a bigger impact in these students' lives.
There are two news to this newsletter - one business, one personal. Please read both.
First, business about upcoming 2 deadlines:
Odyssey's "Kids@Heart"
: Request for ensembles was due
November 25
. If you are still interested, there is room for maybe 1 or 2 more shorter ensembles - please let me know by
December 3
. Teachers and students of any age are welcome to collaborate; the theme is "Global Express." A character piece would be perfect! We will perform first half of the program, followed by Wontanara - African Percussion group. You may submit 1-2 groups pending the length of the program. Write to Ayako, atsuruta@aol.com.
Second is a sad news. W
e express our deepest sympathy for Karen Larvick upon the passing of her husband, Russ Greenhagen, on Sunday, November 24. May God bless her and her family with peace and comfort in this difficult time. Condolences may be sent to: Karen Larvick, 1258B Duane Swift Pkwy, Jefferson City, MO 65109. (Thank you Janice and Jan for your help.)
Wishing everyone a meaningful Thanksgiving-
Ayako Tsuruta
MMAMTA President
