I had a wonderful and inspiring experience at the American String Teachers Association National Conference a couple of weeks ago! I attended some fascinating educational sessions and heard awesome performances by fiddler Jeremy Kittel (Kittel & Co.) and the Air Force Strings. It’s always invigorating to trade ideas with string teachers from around the country. One of the foci of this Conference was music from under-represented composers, and I was delighted to hear great new and old music that is being more widely publicized!
