In with the new. (Dear Reader).(Editorial)
Welcome to another year of MTNA. With this issue, we begin our 128th year as on organization devoted to music teachers. I hope you share the optimism I feel for the next months--new students to teach, new opportunities for personal and professional growth, new challenges to conquer. I am confident the new school year and the new membership year for MTNA will be the best ever.
In this AMT, the first one of the new volume year, we are unveiling several new features. Each is designed to make your interaction with the magazine a more enjoyable experience.
Probably the most noticeable is "The Back Page." As the name implies, it's the back page. This page has traditionally been reserved for listing MTNA leadership. We've moved the list back two pages to provide this new column. "The Back Page" is an opportunity for personal expression. It will be devoted to essays about personal reflections, about reminiscing, about opinions. "The Back Page" may be about your favorite music teacher, a humorous anecdote, a viewpoint on an important issue facing music teachers today or a commentary on the profession. Of course, we need your submissions. So if you have an essay that fits the bill, please submit it for consideration so we may share it with your colleagues.
You also will notice a new phrase, "Bonus Bytes," at the conclusion of feature articles, columns and news. "Bonus Bytes" is our attempt to integrate print media with digital. Some columns, for example, have supplementary information, the scope of which is beyond the limitations of the printed page. This is where "Bonus Bytes" come in. Additional important information that is relevant to the article will be placed on the Internet. ...
