25 [Sat] 8:45am Registration, 9am+ at Practice Hall, Columbia College: MMAMTA Fall Workshop - Sara Ernst, guest clinician
8:45-9:00 Registration
9:00-10:15 Getting Them on Your Side: Today’s Piano Parents
Are you ever frustrated with the parents of some students? Come explore how to positively engage and collaborate with modern parents to ensure their child’s success. Concrete strategies are given for today’s typical obstacles.
10:15-10:30 Break
10:30-11:45 Improving Your Teaching Effectiveness
All teachers agree that we do not have enough time with our students, and that we must use creative teaching techniques to maximize every precious minute. Music education research reveals methods in which our lesson time can be more efficient and productive. With video footage and live demonstration, Sara Ernst will explore a lesson planning and teaching method that can be incorporated into your lessons immediately, improving the quality, efficiency, and musicality of each lesson.
12:00-12:45 Potluck Lunch
12:45-2:00 Choose Those Words Carefully—Perfecting Your Teaching Language
The Question, the Statement, and the Assessment: skillful use of these three powerful modes of communication is a cornerstone of great teaching. Music teachers are encouraged to limit verbal instructions in favor of demonstration and discovery, and to talk less and play more during the lesson. Teachers are therefore faced with the task of choosing their few words carefully. Each mode of communication is examined through analysis of common lesson scenarios, and best practices and common pitfalls of teaching will be identified.
25 [Sat] 9am/10:30am+ The Missouri Federated Music Clubs Fall Meeting. "The MFMC Fall Planning Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August 25th in the Dorsey Chapel on the Columbia College campus in Columbia Missouri.

GREAT NEWS!! - Successful "Keys for Kids"
Thu, Sep 6, 2012 11:07 pm
Fantastic News! The Keys for Kids Project was successful!
We hit the mark this week- all keys were purchased, so the Kawaii piano is completely paid for.
It is being delivered to Girls and Boys Town of Missouri this week.
A special Open House/Press Conference/ Reception will be held at Girls and Boys Town
on Sunday afternoon, September 16, from 2:00 to 3:30
- a formal 'kick-off' for the piano's upcoming career.
( Location: 4304 South Bearfield Road)
All who donated are invited to attend.
I strongly encourage you to come, to help celebrate such a feat:
lots of community members working together to fund a community musical project.
Special Thanks You's:
- Cara McMillan and Colleen Ostercamp - our project leaders
- Pat Rybolt from the Music Suite who offered a significant discount on the new Kawaii piano
- MMAMTA- who "jump-started" the fundraising thru their studio performances at Macy's during the Musicathon in February.
-District II of Missouri Federation of Music Clubs- for their large donation- (a full octave of keys!!)
- ShowMe Music Club Members who gave both individually & as studios
- the many other community groups, choirs, and individuals who gave generously
A full listing of donors will be published and a plaque made to acknowledge them.
If you know others who contributed, please help spread the word and the invitation.

Good-bye Party for Frank Hennessy
Courtesy of Columbia Business Times
I just received this news - and hope to see Frank for one last time. In my case, Odyssey benefited IMMENSELY from Frank's generosity in both renting the Yamaha Concert Grand whenever we needed 2 pianos, as well as tuning the pianos. If you were also a recipient of his generosity, and if you can, let's all give him one last hurrah this Friday!
Good-bye Party for Frank Hennessy, hosted by Sutu Forte
Date: Friday, May 18, 2012
Time: 5:30pm
Location: House of Chow, Crossroads West Shopping Centre
* CASH donation welcome, to help Frank's move!
Questions should be addressed directly to Sutu Forte, 449-2955.
"Frank Hennessy, the well-known piano builder and tuner, is leaving Columbia after almost 5 decades working on pianos in and around Columbia. Sutu is hosting a goodbye party for Frank at the House of Chow this Friday night, May 18th starting at 5:30 p.m. and she wanted me to extend the invitation to you or anyone else at the University who may have benefitted from Frank's expertise and artistry. It would be wonderful if you would please pass this along to anyone who may have known or worked with Frank. I should note that they will also be collecting a cash donation to give to Frank to help him with his move, should anyone wish to give. Thank you for your time. Let me know if you have questions or contact Sutu directly at 449-2955. Thank you again!"
