  Remembering Toronto
The 2007 Collaborative Conference brought great joy and opportunities to all those fortunate enough to attend. For me, the private conferences with teachers, where we  met and explored issues of interest, were invigorating and rewarding. We also enjoyed our own Luncheon Workshop where teachers graciously explored one another's questions and concerns. Let's do this again in Denver!
  Soon to be released
The eagerly awaited digital Pedagogy Guides, INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC, PART III, will soon be released both as a download and/or on a CD. Accomplishing the digital format of such a large book has turned this year inside-out, but you will be delighted to reach any nook or image of this book instantly with a click of your mouse!  We are presently formatting the Table of Contents, the Index, and the Glossary -- all of which are final tasks. Thank you for your patience and for your continuing support.
Valerie Tedrow Artistry in Washington state
Thanks to the generosity of Valerie Tedrow, a teacher new to Artistry at the Piano, we will have a table at the WSMTA Conference exhibits, with Valerie as our gracious hostess. If you are attending the Conference, June 25-29, please stop by our display, pick up your free CD Workshop, and sign up to be on our mailing list. You will also be able to view a short demo of our first DVD: Teaching MUSIC...not Notes! Valerie will promptly e-mail us your questions and your orders so we can reach you via e-mail and Priority Mail. We owe Valerie our thanks for initiating this way to reach teachers at the various state conferences. Please let me know if you are interested. We make all the arrangements and supply all the materials for the exhibit.
Artistry in Florida
Helen Morrison, who has been teaching Artistry since the early 80s is using the course in her new position at the beautiful new Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Next month she will initiate a new program at the Center to provide a foundation in musicianship for students of any instrument or voice. She is basing this course on the INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC. We are excited for you, Helen! We already know that your students at the Center this last year and at your own very active studio in Tampa are thriving on Artistry at the Piano, based on your skilled teaching and your dedication to your students. Congratulations!
Summer Reminder
Our stock shelves are overflowing with copies of the entire course for you to use in your summer teaching. If you are new to the course, summer is a great time to explore and discover this wonderful music and comprehensive curriculum for students of all ages.
