“Eye of the Storm”
Please click here to RSVP. This event is for Branch and STA members only.
Dr. Terence Dawson will be discussing topics such as - what we listen for in a performance, thoughts on listening and sight reading skills and other issues that may come out of dialogue with each other during the presentation. During this past year, both students and teachers alike have experienced the challenges of learning in a very different environment. How can we pass through this turbulent storm with some developed skill sets that will remain with us when we have returned to something that is more familiar and normal?
