The Texas Music Teachers Association awarded me the Teacher Enrichment Grant to further my study of Music Learning Theory applied to Piano at the advanced level professional development course to be held by the Gordon Institute for Music Learning in Quincy, MA, in August 2020. Naturally the course was canceled because of the pandemic, but TMTA said I could keep the funds for when GIML offers the course again in the future. Thanks, TMTA!

Hannah, Paul, and I are so excited for this! Unprecedented on several counts:

1st time Music Moves for Piano teachers have sponsored a showcase of students’ creativity through their arrangements!

1st time Music Moves for Piano teachers have sponsored a joint recital of their students.

1st time Music Moves for Piano teachers have sponsored an online recital for the students.

1st time for any combination of the above, including for the individual teachers!
