Bandmasters

I have been fortunate the last 2 days to spend time at the Iowa Bandmasters Association Conference. It is a wonderful opportunity to network, socialize and learn some things to help me be a better educator. It is a wonderfully refreshing time--something that is much needed at this point in the school year. The keynote address was given by Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser--one of the people who wrote the Essential Elements 2000 lesson book. This is the 2nd time I have heard him speak and he is just wonderful. Very motivating! I am looking forward to returning to school Monday for the last 10 days of the year!
