JMTA General Meeting
President’s Pen Dear Colleagues: Choice Spring Greetings! It hardly seems possible that we are at the end of another school year. Thank you to Anita Renfroe for arranging the fine April program about long-distance music teaching. There are so many teaching innovations that were not available a few years ago. National, State and Local membership dues for the 2019-2020 year are now due. Be sure to renew so you don’t miss out on the happenings in the music-teaching community. Our final meeting for this spring will be Wednesday, May 8 at 9:30 AM at Keyboard Connection. We will have the installation of our new officers. The program will be the music of our Concerto Competition winners, followed by lunch at Carrabba’s Restaurant nearby. All members are invited to attend this special meeting! Please mark your calendar for the FSMTA Conference on October 17-20, 2019, at the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center in Gainesville, FL. We are privileged to have this year’s conference in “our backyard,” so to speak. It behooves us to take advantage of the close distance and check out the wonderful program. Watch for registration time and requests for help. I look forward to seeing you all there. Many thanks to Sandra Stewart for organizing the Proton Therapy Institute Community Recital. Everyone enjoyed an evening of “classy” music from student performers. What a joy! Our grateful appreciation to Jack Melvin for opening the doors of Keyboard Connection for our monthly meetings. Jack is a real gem! This is my final President’s Letter. It has been my honor to serve as President of this fine professional organization. A HUGE “THANK YOU” to all officers and chairpersons who worked with me these past two years. I appreciate you! Because of your work, JMTA is a blessing to students and teachers. God bless, Dr. Sandra Roberts President, JMTA ________________________________________________________________________ JMTA General Meeting Minutes Wednesday, April 10, 2019 Keyboard Connection

The date is Monday June 10th, from 6-8pm. Location is in the Arlington area, near the Publix on corner of Merrill and Townsend. Attached are flyers you can pass along to students/parents/teachers who also may be interested. The “Mindset, Mindfulness, & Imagination” class/workshop will address musician issues of performance anxiety, practice techniques, mental health/confidence, and music career aspects. This will be a highly interactive experience, with room for questions (& A), personal reflections, and a unique composing activity that all attendees (not just performers) will get to experience.
Students/Teachers can enroll here Please address any additional questions to Lisa at [email protected]. Here’s a blog post about ideas that will be shared to pass on to your students, as well. Thank you, JohnWillard Utuk ________________________________________________________________________ Find A Teacher Section on Jaxmta.org Teachers, Please take a moment to check out your information on our Find a Teacher page.
