Annual Spring Meeting Report

The MMTA's Annual Spring Meeting was held at the First Baptist Church in Belfast on May 3. The conference was an enjoyable opportunity to share ideas about music, composing, and the future of our state association. Glen Jenks led an informative session on encouraging our students to compose, and nurturing young composers. A recital was presented by students chosen from the "Discovering American Music" series that took place in February and March.

You may download the minutes of the General Business Meeting.
