Bluebonnet Monthly Meetings--Program 9:30AM, Business Meeting Immediately Following
We understand the busy schedule of a music teacher, so in order to be respectful of your time, Bluebonnet will start its monthly program promptly at 9:30AM with a business meeting immediately following. Please be courteous to our program presenter by arriving on time. Coffee and refreshments will be served at 9:15AM, so please come early to meet and mingle!

 The general membership meeting was held September 12, 2011 at Austin School of
Music in Cedar Park.

The annual teacher dues have been increased from $25 to $30. The new $30
registration amount will show in the TMTA records next school year. In the
meanwhile, new members should pay the $5 increase to the local treasurer.

The correct title for the fall festival is Master Composers Festival. This
title was discussed and approved last school year.

Teachers who wish to enroll students in two local associations of TMTA must
submit student registrations and pay SA student registration to one local
association. Then submit a copy of the registration to the second association
without payment. Because as far as TMTA is concerned, students are enrolled in
one primary association. And with that primary registration, they may
participate in events of other secondary associations.

The fall theory test has been changed to Concordia University in Cedar Park. It
will be held November 13 at Concordia University.

Next month the speaker will be Dr Courtney Crappell, UT San Antonio. He will
speak about accessible audio recording technique .

Join Ann Lawry for an interactive workshop, where teachers will gain new insight into the Just the Facts series, learn teaching tips for some of the more difficult theory concepts, and get answers to frequently asked questions about the TMTA theory exams.  Free packets of books and information will be given out, while supplies last!

Since 1995, over 750,000+ copies of Just The Facts books have been sold, attesting to the popularity of the series which is used in private studios, music schools, as well as preparatory departments of numerous universities.
