A stage is a magical place. In a world ruled by instant gratification, everything stops the moment you step onto a stage. Your awareness is heightened. You are your most vulnerable, authentic self. The world awaits your next move. Anything is possible.#thisiswhyiteach #artsmatter— Lauren Staniszewski (@LStaniszewski1) January 16, 2020
There's truly something special when the stage brings all the music educators together as well-- and it's the Michigan Music Conference! It's a magical time when everyone gets together for special performances, professional development and, of course, the opportunity to catch up over a meal or a beverage while paths intersect for this annual event. Each year I attend, I find myself re-energized and excited to bring back the ideas I've discovered from the conference, and this year is certainly no exception! From inspirational journeys to energizing ideas and even a humorous story or two... Here are some of this year's highlights:

Totally doing this. Love the idea of using subdivisions for energy in long tones and releases especially. Working in complex meters too! #whydidntithinkofthat #mmc2020 https://t.co/RB3WJZoii2— Lauren Staniszewski (@LStaniszewski1) January 16, 2020
