Memorable Moments in Music Education is a new dimension to our on-line resources. These short examples of "defining moments" in the life of a music
educator, might be humorous in nature, realistic in approach, or just a serious look something that made a difference in someone's teaching career. As
a music educator, your most unusual experiences contain a wealth of knowledge that can be shared with others, and Conn-Selmer is priviledged to provide
these "moments" in our Keynotes Magazine.
You are encouraged as a music educator to submit "your memorable moment" for future issues. Your submission can be short and to-the-point, or an essay
style description of an event in which you learned a valuable lesson for your career. If you include a short bio of yourself with the text, we will identify the
writer on the website also.
