Our Master Teacher: We are privileged to have Mia Hynes as our master teacher this year. She made her first professional appearance with the Indianapolis Symphony at age twelve. Since then she has performed as soloist and chamber musician throughout the United States and beyond. Ms. Hynes received her Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in piano performance and literature from the Eastman School of Music where she studied with (and served as teaching assistant to) Dr. Nelita True. Dr. Hynes has been a member of the faculty of the University of Central Missouri since 1996, where she is currently Associate Professor of Piano Pedagogy, and Director of the Community Music Program. It will truly be a memorable experience for our teachers and students to work with such a distinguished artist.
Master Class Workshop: Ms. Hynes will select students from the three days of master lessons to perform in a master class on Tuesday morning, October 6. The master class will be our October meeting/teacher workshop. Students who wish to be considered for this opportunity should circle "yes" on the enrollment form. Please be aware that this is a school day and students should not circle “yes” unless they are available.
Please feel free to call Lori Clark (913-397-6271) anytime with questions. We hope you can attend this special workshop with Dr. Mia Hynes, Tuesday, October 6, 2009, at 9:15 a.m. at Schmitt Music Center.
