Passages.(Obituary)
Janice McCurnin, MTNA's first Teacher of the Year recipient, died April 4, 2005. McCurnin was named Teacher of the Year in 2000.
A member of the Arizona State Music Teachers Association Board of Directors since 1992, McCurnin dedicated her life to the highest standards of professional music teaching and to MTNA service. She was a charter member of Tucson MTA (TMTA) and a past local and state president. Her former students are professional music teachers. Many of her former students have mentored MTNA members and served in local and state leadership positions as presidents, officers and chairs.
McCurnin was an active teacher and TMTA member, serving as a co-chair of the first TMTA ensemble concert in 1954, which has grown to involve more than 500 students in an orchestra of twelve pianos. She served as vice president of MTNA's Southwest Division from 1970-1971. She was a member of the first MTNA People to People Tour in 1974.
She also was instrumental in the adoption of the Arizona State Accreditation Plan in 1961 and helped develop the Arizona Study Program as a strong link in that plan. She served as state certification chair for twenty-four years and on the Southwest Division Certification Board for seven years.
In addition, McCurnin served as national chair of the Baldwin Junior Keyboard Achievement Award from 1977-1983 and helped bring about the adoption of a live, rather than taped, audition.
Donations in McCurnin's name can be sent to the TMTA Janice McCurnin Scholarship at TMTA, Attn. Sondra Franks, 8501 N. Breezewood Pl., Tucson, AZ 85704-0906.
