From the Editor
Christina Hornbach
Welcome to the school year 2019- 2020! I hope you and your Mich- igan music students are already having a good year. I grew up in Michigan; I attended and graduated from a Michigan public school. I did my undergraduate and graduate work at Michigan universities (the University of Michigan and Mich- igan State University). I taught in the K-12 system in two different public schools in Michigan (Kalam- azoo and South Redford). I worked at Eastern Michigan University for several years and I am currently in my 11th year of teaching at Hope College in Holland, MI. My hus- band is a Michigan music teacher. I am Michigan proud, specifically Michigan music teacher proud.
As I transition into the role of Ed- itor for the Michigan Music Edu- cator, I am reminded once again how lucky I am to be a part of this community. Whether you are just joining MMEA or if you have been a member for years, you have “a friend” in MMEA; we are a family. I encourage you to try out some of the practical applications and teach- ing ideas in this issue. Your peers have some things for you to consid- er and implement in your practice.
One of the things that I love about teaching is that there is always something more to learn. Michigan music teachers, MMEA is here for you with many different profession- al development opportunities and
resources. One of the most accessi- ble and readily applicable resources you have is this journal. In this day of social media and so many ways to share our teaching ideas, we remain strong by supporting each other and our professional organi- zation, MMEA.
Enjoy this issue with work from teachers from across the country (from West Coast to East). What is your teaching story? What practical ideas and teaching resources can you share with your peers - your fellow Michigan teachers? I’d love to hear from you (hornbach@hope. edu).
