February 15-17, 2008, promises to be a great weekend for the California Association of Professional Music Teachers, as our 2008 Annual Conference will be held at the Pacific Palms Resort in the City of Industry, California. This beautiful property has grounds that you don’t normally see in Southern California with panoramic views of gardens, golf courses and the City of Los Angeles. The room rate will be an affordable $109 per night, and the programming, while still being finalized, will feature international, national and state figures presenting a wide variety of concerts, lectures and demonstrations.

I am particularly excited to announce that our featured artist will be the renowned pianist Barbara Lister-Sink, who will be giving her award-winning presentation “Freeing the Caged Bird” as well as performing an exciting program and teaching a master class! You don’t want to miss her, so please reserve this weekend NOW! Look for complete announcements and the lineup of 2008’s presenters and performers in the Fall Communiqué. Until then, enjoy your summer!
