MMTA is excitedly and decisively moving forward. This article contains several names and dates that may be of interest to you, MMTA member friends, and potential new members. Please share the following with all of your music friends so no one can say "why didn't someone tell me?" Contact person for both conventions is President-Elect, Millie Mehnert.

2001 MMTA State Convention

November 8-9-10-11

Southwest Missouri State University

Co-guest Artists Alvin Chow and Angela Cheng

2002 MMTA State Convention

October 31, November 1-2-3

Truman State University

D'Ann Hawkins has graciously accepted the responsibility of being MMTA's very first MUSICLINK Chairperson. Please contact her if you have any questions about how to become involved in MUSICLINK. D'Ann Hawkins address is 8506 Oldham Road, Kansas City, Missouri, and her telephone number is 816-356-8604. She is a strong advocate for Musiclink and I believe all MMTA members will benefit from her experience and leadership.

MMTA depends on many, many board members, chairpersons, your local association presidents, and local association officers who silently and efficiently perform their musical and often non-musical MMTA functions. When possible, please give them your deep and sincere appreciation. New MMTA Chairpersons include Meg Gray-MMTA K-12 Auditions Chair, Annette Burkhart-Piano pedagogy Chair, Karen Larvick-Independent Music Teachers Forum Chair, Sue Chiu-MTNA Sr. Hi/Jr. Hi Auditions Chair, Brent Hugh-Vice President for Auditions, Barbara Hamel-Treasurer, and Millie Mehnert-President-Elect. Please forgive me if I have forgotten a new board or

chairperson.

MUST READ!!! Try to grab a few personal moments and read two articles. The first article is Brian Chung's "Seeing the Bigger Picture". The

article is in the Winter 2001 issue of Piano Notes (National Piano Foundation). The second article is in the March 2001 issue of Clavier. The column titled "Out of the Woods" is by our own Robert Weirich. Both articles are enriching, stimulating, and contain phrases that are worthy of reflection.

HELP---HELP---HELP! The MTNA Division meeting and competitions are January 11-13, 2002. We are the host state and the University of Columbia is the host school. We need you to agree to be a monitor for the Friday night rehearsals and the Saturday and Sunday competitions. Please contact me or Janice Wenger about helping with the division meeting. This is VERY important. I hope you will strongly consider helping for that weekend. It's our turn to be a welcoming state.

Last night, Saturday, March 17, Jan and I attended a wonderful student recital. These students were performing because of their musical love for Professor Raymond Herbert. Prof. Herbert is retiring this year from the University of Missouri-Columbia. I was sitting there thinking about how each of these students had selected music that each believed would communicate his relationship with Prof. Herbert. Their music selections gave testimony to Prof. Herbert's recognized teaching accomplishments. Congratulations Professor Raymond Herbert.

MMTA members, please do not hesitate to contact me, should you need assistance or if you believe, as Jan often does, that I need assistance.

I just received word from Alvin Chow that he and Angela Cheng will present a lecture/demonstration on four-hand playing. It is titled: "Four-Hand Playing: Turning 'Double Trouble' into 'Twice as Nice.'" They will discuss aspects of practicing and preparing for four-hand recitals, at one and two pianos. Their evening recital will be all four-hand music at one and two pianos.

Next, a business session tailored to the Independent Music Teacher's specific needs. We all realize that salary and success are dependent on much more than the largest number of students we can keep on our schedules. Don't we? Certified Financial Planner Betty Neal from Springfield, who was referred to us through our University system, will offer expert insight into the way we conduct and plan our business. Betty works with home based businesses, and her presentation will be prefaced on the most recent information which affects us. Along with other subjects, she will include vital long range planning for better earnings and more secure retirement.

Third, Cynthia Siebert from Kansas City will speak to the indispensable link between concert hall and private lesson. Cynthia originated Kansas City's highly successful "Friends of Chamber Music" series and has been attracting near capacity audiences to every concert at the Folly Theater in downtown Kansas City for more than 25 years. How does it continue to attract so much new audience, including students, along with the core of K. C.'s musical elite? And why does it impact our own music business so dramatically and directly? As I write this on Wednesday, March 21^st, four of my students and I look forward to hearing a "Friend's" concert this very evening featuring Andreas Schiff. Cynthia's dynamic presentation on Friday, Nov. 9th, is a must for all IMT's Convention participants.

In addition are wonderful sessions by Peter Collins on "Lyricism in Romantic Music ," giving new insights into the expressive realm of making music; and by Marilyn Lowe presenting "Theories of Audiation ...and its Practical Use in Teaching Early Intermediate Piano Literature," which offers

a new, energizing method of teaching through a revolutionary process developed by Edwin Gordon. Both of these sessions, whose titles are not official at this point, have been presented to audiences in St. Louis with the recommendation from those in attendance that they be repeated at this convention.

A computer session in the Technology Lab presented by Dr. Michael Murray, theory professor at SMSU, will provide a hands-on review of old skills and introduce new ones for that inescapable need to stay abreast of the latest technological advancements.

We anticipate an intriguing session on distinguished woman composer S.C. Eckhardt-Gramatte (1899-1974) by Karin Edwards of Wheaton College. Marvin Blickenstaff was very complimentary after hearing this presentation.

Finally but by no means least, the new certification which is possibly the most important program National has developed for IMT's will be outlined by Missouri Certification Chair Anne Manahan. Our music business is still in the process of establishing credibility as a profession as it relates to teaching the pre-college student. A giant step was taken by MTNA in setting a common standard through certification. Although the effect might not be so direct for the college professor, their support of this standard through acquiring certification for themselves will underwrite the importance for all of us. Results: both the quality and availability of music students will be enhanced; the music audience will be expanded; the higher standard of our profession will become more visible. You will also be hearing from Jackie Gilpin from Kansas City who just achieved her certification through testing, meaning without a degree in music. What an accomplishment! Her comment to those of you who just need to take a proficiency exam, "What a cinch!!" Along with National and the new momentum for certification, I encourage all of you to apply now. If you are just out of college, new to MMTA, or feel moved to give a fresh impetus to your studio and music in general, there was never a better time than at the beginning of this new millennium. (Anne will make the test available for any who wish to take it a the Convention in Springfield. See her column in this issue of NOTES.)

At least one, perhaps two more sessions are still to be planned. But some good things can be saved for this column in the next edition of NOTES. And please, don't think we have closed the door on suggestions you might have. Would you like to give one? Remember, this is for you. Just keep in mind we have to reserve that needed space, soon!

A few of reminders about the 2001 Auditions:

• MTNA Unified Competition Entry Deadline. MTNA now has a standardized entry deadline for ALL MTNA competitions: the second Monday in September of each year. This year, then, the MTNA competition entry deadline is Monday, September 10th, 2001.

MTNA Online Information. MTNA has a good deal of helpful information online at <www.mtna.org>. Some examples:

MTNA Competition Overview: www.mtna.org/scindex.htm (Includes all rules, deadlines, and printable entry forms.)

Composer Classification List: www.mtna.org/sccl.htm

(Remember that the MTNA Composer Classification List is used for both MTNA and MMTA competitions/auditions.)

MMTA Honors Auditions Ensembles. There has been some confusion about the proper grade level to enter ensembles in MMTA Honors Auditions. The rule is to enter the ensemble in the grade level of the majority of students. If an equal number of students are from two or more grade levels, the ensemble must be placed in the highest level. For instance, if a 4th-grade student and a 6th-grade student are playing a duet, they are entered as a 6th-grade ensemble.

• MMTA Auditions are Open. Remember that MMTA auditions, both at the district and the state levels, are open to the public.

If you are interested in finding other competitions for your students to enter, a nice online listing is available at <www.unm.edu/~loritaf/pnocomps.html>.

I'm sure I don't have to remind you that putting on the auditions at the convention is a huge undertaking. Last year we had 49 different auditions and

competitions during the convention--up to 16 different competitions on a single day. And these auditions don't run themselves. They take many hours of time to organize, administer, and run. To the many MMTA members, chairs, adjudicators, and teachers who have helped make them happen, I say, "Thank you!"

Grant applications for next year will be distributed at the MMTA Board Meeting at the MMTA Annual Convention. The guidelines and grant application forms are short and simple (one page each). Start thinking now of nifty workshops and projects for YOUR local association.

The new Professional Certification Program seems to have a great deal of support throughout the country. National reports that they have received more than 700 requests for applications. Many phone calls have also been received regarding the differences between the new program and the old.

To summarize: Under the new program, "candidates must meet different requirements through a combination of academic transcripts, professional references, evaluations and written examinations." (MTNA Newsletter, Winter

2000/2001)

One of the most important differences is that there are no longer different categories of certified teachers. All applicants must fulfill the same requirements, whether they are college or university teachers, or independent teachers. All must take a written examination, and upon successful completion of the process, all will receive the same Professional Certificate. A video teaching demonstration is no longer required.

For application materials, please contact Rachel Kramer, MTNA at (888)512-5278, ext. 224, or by e-mail: rkramer@mtna.org.

Anne Manahan

As MMTA Commissioning Chair, I am pleased to announce that the commissioned composer for 2001 is Allen Myers of Liberty, Missouri. Allen has a Bachelor's degree in Piano Performance and Music Education from Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory, Berea, Ohio, and a Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies from Indiana University. He is now in the process of finishing his Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition at the UMKC Conservatory of Music.

When composing contemporary music, his style can range from semi-tonal to atonal. Portions of his music often have an improvisational sound while not always relying on the performers to improvise.

He is hard at work on the commissioned work which will be for flute, cello, and piano. I know you will all look forward to hearing the premiere of this work at the November convention. If anyone would like to nominate a composer for the 2002 commission, please do so at any time.

Since the IMTF position has been vacant for a few years in our state, I think it is particularly urgent to ask Missouri's independent teachers (yes, we are@) to share issues of particular concern in studio teaching.

For example, our Mid-Missouri chapter has debated the issue of recital interruptions this year-students and parents coming late, leaving early because of various commitments. Knowing that it is important to listen to and support other performers, and to set a good example by a quiet presence, a committee of teachers has recommended some general guidelines. We then asked teachers to share these guidelines with their studio families.

• What are your concerns locally and in your own studios? Let me know!
• Could you include a "Minute for the IMT" in your local meetings this year?
• Have you discussed the new Certification Program guidelines since Anne Manahan's November presentation at the state convention?
• At our 2001 State Convention, we plan to schedule a session to address one or more issues of pressing importance to YOU, the foundation of the MMTA! Please take a moment to share your concerns and ideas this spring!

The December-January 2001 AMT issue (p. 68) includes a stimulating article by Mary Walker who recognizes the difficulties of retaining new skills after leaving the studio. We have all experienced the hapless student who made virtually no progress on an assignment that seemed clear to her at the lesson. A recent syndicated newspaper article discussed research stressing the importance of recreating a similar environment to support recall and practice of recent knowledge and fragile new skills. How do you cope with this issue in your teaching? How do you model good practice skills that will transfer to the home environment? How do you encourage practice? I solicit your good ideas to share with our IMT Forum!

Hello Spring! And hello to all fellow music teachers in Missouri. My name is D'Ann Hawkins and I will be the new liaison for Music Links for Missouri.

For those of you unfamiliar with MusicLink, let me explain the program. It was begun by Joanne Haroutounian in Virginia for MTNA and is designed for students with musical talent and limited financial resources to have the opportunity to study music privately with an instructor. Initially, students are found through their school music teachers. Then a private music teacher begins the process of setting up the MusicLink connection. The link is between classroom teacher, parent, and private instructor, all working together to provide private music lessons for a designated talented child.

As a national organization, MTNA is linked with America's Promise (outreach program for children supported by Colin Powell) to reach children. So far we have contributed over $700,000 in scholarship donations equaling over 32,000 hours of instruction at the end of 2000. That's the good news.

The bad news is that Missouri only has two teachers currently offering piano lessons to MusicLink students. Missourians, what is our problem? I know there are others besides myself who believe that music should be for every child, not just the "rich and famous." Many students are talented but have yet to receive the opportunity to develop that gift. As I have said for years, musical talent is within each of us, but we must provide a way for each child in Missouri to have the chance to blossom.

I hope you will look within your schools and neighborhoods and, like the opening buds of springtime flowers, make a commitment to help some child discover the joy of music making TODAY.

If you have questions on starting a MusicLink student, contact me at Classic Keys Studio, 8506 Oldham Road, Kansas City, Missouri 64138. I look forward to being a link for Missouri and music.

D'Ann Hawkins, NCTM

There are some significant changes in this year's procedures and fees. This information was forwarded to me from Kenton Bales (National Student Composition Competition Coordinator): Entry fees should now be sent to the National Office. Also, the entry fees for the 2001 competition are as follows: $25 for elementary and junior high, $35 for high school, and $45 for college. (There is a slight possibility this will change, but if change occurs an announcement will be published by MTNA at some point in the future.) There is also a teacher entry fee of $25 (a one-time only fee, for all competitions).

There seem to be more steps involved in the process each year, but the potential benefits to the student can be immeasurable. The creative talent of students (and their teachers) is quite evident in the high quality of scores we receive every fall. Keep up the great work!

Some great news arrived just in time for this issue. Marc-Andre Bougie received the MTNA Collegiate Student Composition award in March. His teacher is Thomas McKenney, University of Missouri-Columbia. His winning composition, "String Quartet," was performed at the 2001 National Convention in Washington, D.C., by University of Missouri-Columbia faculty, Eva Szekely, first violin, John McLeod, second violin, Leslie Prena, viola, and Darry Dolezal, violoncello. The Award was presented by Warner Bros. Publications. Congratulations to both student and teacher.
