Congratulations to the students whose State Solo and Small Ensemble performances were selected to be part of LMEA’s Virtual Recitals and to those who were Gold Medal Recipients.
From the webmaster…
Dear LMEA members and friends,
Thank you for trusting me with the LMEA website for so many years. As I am preparing to retire (again!), I find myself reflecting on the challenges LMEA has faced over the years, the changes we’ve initiated, and the successes we’ve had as we seek to provide a wide variety of events for Louisiana’s student musicians. The board has not been afraid to look toward the future, with all its challenges! We’ve also worked hard to listen to our members’ thoughts, concerns, and suggestions and have continued to “tweak” events as we go.
Many years ago, a very wise friend said, “You can either go forward or you can go backward, but you can’t stand still.” I’ve never forgotten those words. And I’m proud to say that LMEA has chosen to go forward and I’m immensely proud to have played a small part in our progress!
In closing, I will always treasure the opportunity to get to know so many wonderful, talented, dedicated music educators – across all divisions and from every corner of the state – and the many friendships I’ve been blessed with. Thank you!
“When words fail, music speaks.” -Hans Christian Andersen
Best wishes . . . and enjoy your summer,
Sharon McNamara-Horne
