- AGEHR National Seminar 2005 Update
"Power Tools for Directors, Ringers and Educators"
Almost 30 Area III Members attended the AGEHR National Seminar in Dallas in July. Music in Education was the focus of many of the classes. Educators, directors and ringers alike were challenged to examine the process of learning in schools, churches and behind the tables.
Three Area III members also attended the day-long AGEHR Notation Conference that followed the Seminar with about 35 participants. The Notation booklet will be updated soon. All questions should be sent to John Behnke at jabehnke@execpc.com.
