Wow!! What an inspiring and interesting zoom meeting we had today. Paula Manwaring, UMTA President was our guest presenter and certainly gave us our "money's worth!" If you missed the meeting, or would like to hear it again, please click the link below:
The book, "The Ignorant Maestro" by Itah Talgam was a great resource and has invaluable information. Paula shared many excellent quotes and information about several great maestros, including Muti, Tuscanini, Strauss, Karajans, Kleiber and Bernstein. It was extremely interesting to hear about these conductors and their different focuses...and how that can translate into our teaching.
So worth our investment of time to be at this meeting. Hope to see everyone on March 2nd (date changed to the first Tuesday in March due to Spring Break!) Denise Frost will be presenting Part 2 of Composing in Your Studio.
