April Meeting: Celebrating a Year of Growth and Learning

Today's final meeting, was a wonderful conclusion to our year, with Dr. Paul Nitsch teaching and demonstrating how to listen for "Style". From the photos you can see what a special meeting we enjoyed.

This is a good time to reflect. Our year has been filled with inspiring programs, insightful discussions, and meaningful connections—all made possible by the dedication of our wonderful Program Committee. Each program provided us with opportunities to grow and refine our craft, equipping us with new tools and ideas to become even better piano teachers. These meetings have truly showcased the heart of the Charlotte Piano Teachers Forum: a vibrant community of educators committed to continual learning and improvement. 

As we look ahead, we remain grateful for the support and wisdom we've gained through these meetings, and we look forward to the next chapter as we strive to continue learning. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s success, and to our Program Committee for their outstanding work. Here’s to another year of learning, sharing, and growing together!  We would love to have everyone join us next year, beginning in September.
