Dear MACRO members,

It's time to welcome all of you to another year of teaching, welcome all new members of MACRO, and to once again remind you of everything MACRO has to offer:

Musician's Workshop 2014! We will go back to our two day format for this year, with a new twist. Mark your calendars for June 27-28, 2014! This year's workshop will feature a mini-workshop on teaching techniques for music theoryand composition intended not only for those teaching a theory class for the first time but also for the instructor who may want to brush up on or expand their theory and composition teaching techniques for the classroom. Learn tricks of the trade from our time-tested and award winning instructors. Long time MACRO members, please encourage your new colleagues to attend. The mini-workshop will take place on Friday morning, and our regular workshop will begin starting at noon with our traditional MACRO luncheon. It's not too early to start thinking about topics and potential presentations for the event! Contact Jamie Henke at any time via email jhenke@dcs.wisc.edu
Come join us for a fun-filled collaborative learning experience like no other!
