Margaret Miller and viola alumni at CMEA.

The annual Colorado Music Educators Association Conference is always a wonderful, busy week of interesting sessions, seeing old friends and meeting new ones, hearing terrific orchestras from around the state, all in the beautiful setting of the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. I had three sessions, one for Tri-M, the high school music honor society, and two with a colleague that involved viola sections and chamber music. Additionally, the University Symphony Orchestra performed a unique concert of American composers.

So now it is on to the rest of the semester. All-State Orchestra is coming up Valentine’s Day weekend, then it’s time for auditions.

Somewhere in all of that is practicing!  There is quite a bit of chamber music on my plate this semester, so I had better get going!

Until next time,
Margaret Miller
