UMEA Activities Recharge Teachers ‘Batteries’

String Teachers in a new music reading session

The Utah Music Educators Association held their annual mid-winter clinic in St. George the first weekend in February.

Not all participants were actively playing an instrument.

There was a virtual smorgasboard of activities for everyone.

One of the performing groups, the Chamber Orchestra from American Fork High School.

There were performances, demonstrations, classes on many subjects, and inservice training for both active and retired professional educators in the music profession. The subjects of Choir, Orchestra, Band, General Music, and Jazz Band were included for teachers of classes from Elementary to College. This was one of the best varieties of educational opportunity for the music teacher we have seen for a while. A great experience. Makes me proud to be a UMEA member.
