Nominations for our district’s Independent Certified Teacher of the Year and Collegiate Certified Teacher of the Year will be accepted until Monday, February 15, 2010.  This state-wide program has a two-fold goal: To recognize excellence in music teaching and to measure dedication to OhioMTA/MTNA.  Any Central East District member may nominate any peer who has been nationally certified for at least five years.  The nominee must also be or have been actively involved in OhioMTA/MTNA at the local, state, or national level and must be known for distinguished service and devotion to the cause of music.  Anyone who has received this award in the past cannot be nominated again (see p.11 of the activities guide for past nominees). 

Please take advantage of this opportunity to nominate a teacher who you believe deserves this recognition.

Opportunity for two advanced piano students

From: Tony McDonald [mcdonald.tony1@gmail.com] 614-327-8854
Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 12:33 PM
Subject: pianists for a show

I am the musical director for the Pleasure Guild production of “Beauty and
the Beast” that will take place at the Palace Theatre in early March. All
the dates are below.

I need two pianists to play in the pit orchestra and was hoping you could
recommend some advanced players for this show. The production is to raise money for Children’s Hospital and, thus a charity gig, i.e. no money, just a chance to play with a good pit orchestra and a tax write-off. I would be grateful for any names you can give me of good pianists who can play a Broadway show.

Thank you,
Tony McDonald
614-327-8854

The show runs the first weekend in March, 2009. There are 5 performances at the Palace Theatre:
Friday, March 6 at 10:30 am and 7:00 pm
Saturday, March 7 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Sunday, March 8 at 2:00 pm
Please note the morning show on Friday, for school kids.

There are just four rehearsals:
            Tuesday, March 3, 6:00 pm
            Wednesday, March 4, 6:00 pm
            Thursday, March 5, 6:00 pm (dress)
            and an orchestral run-through, probably on Sunday, March 1, time
TBA
