A blog for college students of Music Education
Special thanks to Dr. David Williams for the Leadership Academy photos! See more at the bottom of the page!
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the TI:ME National Conference in Louisville, Kentucky as a part of the first-ever TI:ME Leadership Academy. I was chosen as one of eight music education students to participate in this academy, and was blown away by the incredible ideas and conversations generated by participants and instructors alike.

Once the students have become familiar with the first three key areas they are prepared to start talking about chord theory and simple harmonic progressions.”
