Advocacy.
Advocacy is all about the “why” of music education and living that imperative. It’s not something that we do, it’s who we are. With the purpose of an education in music clarified, the mission also becomes clear. Through her work with the NAMM Foundation, the Music Achievement Council (MAC) and the Yamaha Master Educator Program, Marcia continues to spread her enthusiasm for enhancing the long-term quality of life for young people by engaging increased numbers of them in memorable experiences through their personal relationship with music-making at the highest level. MAC’s MSFQ mantra of “More to Start, Fewer to Quit” provides the impetus for her numerous articles, conference sessions, professional development trainings and inclusion programs to lead more students to the joy of music-making. |

It is a scripted event that provides parents with the opportunity to hear their child’s progress in a fun and entertaining program that requires little or no extra work for the teacher, while also providing school administrators with an opportunity to view first-hand the joy and pride that our students, as well as their parents, experience in these early weeks.
