Please go to the brmtala.org website and register for this event.  Because we will have the opportunity to be at the piano for most of the sessions and lunch will be provided, pre-registration is required. There is a fee of $40 for non-BRMTA members.

On Friday, January 26, when our clinician arrives, we will gather for supper at Parrain’s.  It will be a great time to reconnect and visit with our guest. If you can attend, please indicate that on the registration, so we can make arrangements with the restaurant.

Why attend this event?  Leila will encourage us with her personal story of how music was instrumental in processing personal tragedy.  She will inspire us to be creative at the keyboard with our students through composition, chord playing, off-bench activities and innovative tools.
