Dear MASTA Members:


In just a little over a week, it will be time once more for the Michigan Music Conference.  Lots of people have been working hard behind the scenes to make this the best conference EVER.


The general membership meeting will take place on Friday, Jan. 20th at 8 a.m. in the Imperial Ballroom.  We will introduce our Teacher/Administrator of the Year candidates and we'll hear a short presentation from Jeremy Woolstenhulme, the MASTA Headliner.


The Teacher Orchestra will perform movements 3 & 4 of Tchaikowsky's Serenade on Friday at 7 pm and that concert will also include a selection by the MASTA Concerto Competition winner and the announcement of the MASTA 2017 Teacher of the Year.


NEW THIS YEAR - If you are looking for a buddy to get a meal or just to talk shop, stop by the MASTA booth in the exhibit area.  Let's make our booth a place where string teachers can come to hang out, meet new people, reconnect with old acquaintances...I'll bring chocolate!!!


I hope to see everyone next week in Grand Rapids.  If you aren't able to make it this time...the ASTA conference in Pittsburgh March 1 - 4 will be awesome.  OR...you can stay home and check out the MASTA blog:  www.astamichigan.org<http://www.astamichigan.org>   I highly recommend the interview with Dan Long.  It's a free trip to the state of inspiration!


Keep your bow on the string - janis
