Program
Our program for November is "A Care-Package For Teachers". And all of you are on the program! We want to discuss how you keep up your performance level, is it worth the work, why you do it and do you enjoy it? So this program is for you, not your students. Please think what works for you and pass it on to the rest of us. For you non-piano teachers, I think all suggestions are probably applicable to all music teachers. We want to hear from you too."
President’s Message
Dear Colleagues,
Hoping November will give us a glimpse of Fall weather—I’m ready to get out my sweaters!
Events are fast approaching--please make sure you check upcoming deadlines. Our November presenter is our own beloved Dr. Bob Bennett. Plan to attend and be ready to join in the discussion. It will be a memorable time together.
Don’t forget to RSVP by Nov. 20 to Arlene Steffen (email preferred) for our Dec. 13 luncheon at Marie Callendar’s in their Garden Room (Cedar /Shaw) Please let Arlene know if you can attend. All meetings will take place at Marie Callendar’s that day---Board 9am, General 10am with luncheon following.
In order for our events to continue and be successful, your participation is greatly needed. Plan to enter your students in the many local and state programs that are offered and become involved yourself in helping our committee chairs. I look forward to seeing all of you in November!

Piano Celebration
As teachers preparing for Certificate of Merit teachers are encouraged to make note of pieces that deserve a second chance and make plans to participate in the Piano Celebration on March 24 or 25, 2012. Or pieces that are not quite polished by February, having Piano Celebration in March will give you that extra time to prepare. Application forms and instructions can be found in the yearbook and online. If you are planning to register students this year, please check or read the newsletters regularly for updates and latest news. This year the use of envelopes will be eliminated. This is the only new procedure applied everything else remains the same. The registration deadline is postmarked no
later than Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Mail your application and fees to Catherina Murni (Chairperson). See all details info on yearbook.
