This week I am traveling and sharing our impact in #NYC with Young Audiences Arts for Learning - National and Audio Engineering Society; then Miami to present sessions at the The College Music Society conference, and finally South Carolina and Georgia to share our Careers in Music initiative with colleges along the John Lennon Bus tour!

After seeing their performance at #NAMMShow 2023, I was excited to reunite and catch up with musical duo ARKAI at the Young Audiences event in NY! It was a fantastic night celebrating music and arts education and its power in every child's education!

More of the amazing activity at the Lennon Bus today at AES. We're so very proud to be presenting this amazing opportunity for all. The world needs more music makers!

The Honourable Elizabeth A. Baker's presentation at the The College Music Society conference challenged all to engage the "why" of music-making in education. Encourage students to develop more than skill and technique, but also realize the heart and soul of music! bit.ly/40hMw6G

It was an outstanding panel today with Michael Millar of Cal Poly Pomona, Dr. Isrea Butler of @UNLV, and David Sears of Media Solutions by TSC as we discussed "Innovation and Action for the Future: Roundtable Discussions on Musical 'Hot Topics'" at the The College Music Society conference.

We have arrived in D.C. with the John Lennon Bus and have met up with our passionate band of NAMM Members here for the #NAMMFlyIn! Their voices will represent our shared vision to Congress to assure that people of all ages & abilities have opportunities to learn and grow with music!
