[MASTA] Survey for MASTA Members

[Diane L. Winder]

Dear MASTA, Occasionally we have the opportunity to change in a significant manner the face of education. Often those prompts come through university research. Please consider the connections of music therapy and K-12 education and, if you're part of the target "audience," participate in the survey described below, which is in progress by one of our own educators! 


THANKS, Diane L. Winder, DM 
President, MASTA
