We heard you. Our new conference Amplify: Lead. Engage. Inspire. is formatted based on your feedback: hands-on sessions that are based on what YOU want to hear, at more affordable rates.
Join us again in Dallas, Texas, as we take a deep dive into leading topics in music education. The following topic areas, or “Opuses,” will allow you to share your own practice, collaborate and network with colleagues from across the country, and expand your toolkit of ideas, models, and activities.
