Notes from the President
 After a joyful Christmas season, now we have a brand new and shiny year ahead of us. Hopefully we had time to reflect a little on the past year, and more importantly, plan and prepare for the challenges of the new one. Without a doubt we had great activities this last year and yet more are coming.
Since our last meeting in November, Forty-five students from twelve teachers participated in the “Just Boys” recitals graciously sponsored by Paula Washington. Then the Winter Festival was a total success, featuring more than 200 students from 12 teachers and providing music for shoppers at Rolling Oaks Mall all day long on December 12. Many thanks to Heather Stagg for such an outstanding job of organizing, preparing, and carrying out this important event. You may as well want to know that for the Publication Contest, Sherilyn Coldwell received two entries, and for the Original Composition Contest, Karl Hedrick received entries from three teachers.
Please plan to attend our Winter General Meeting on January 15th. We will have from the University of Oklahoma the legendary pedagogue Jane Magrath. Her book The Pianist's Guide to Standard Teaching and Performance Literature has become a classic reference work for pianists and teachers throughout the country. Practical and insightful, this is an event you don’t want to miss.
I hope you have a year full of rewarding teaching experiences. Happy New Year!
Pablo Aguilar
President
