Thank you for your service! There are many new opportunities and challenges as we work together to advance music education in North Carolina. I look forward to working with the new NCMEA board of directors in this new year. ADVOCACY UPDATE We continue to build positive relationships with our legislative leaders through our lobbyists Ashley Perkinson and Rachel Beaulieu. They have attended education oversight committee meetings in the fall and will attend a meeting scheduled for this month. They are keeping the staff and leadership informed of any updates on the K-3 class size reductions. In turn we will update our members through the monthly Enews and Advocacy Updates. NCMEA is holding our position supporting the intent language included by the General Assembly and urging legislators to fully fund Program Enhancement Teachers (including music and the arts) for all local school districts without delay. (Please refer to the complete position statement on the NCMEA website under the Committees/Advocacy tab.).

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Jim Widner Jazz Camps Artists believe in Yamaha. “I have been performing on the Yamaha Silent Bass for over 10 years and love everything about it...the sound, the touch, the feel and the compactness of the bass, which makes it convenient for travel. It produces the sound of a ‘high end’ acoustic bass but it is actually more even from top to bottom. I have always treasured my relationship with Yamaha. The company is totally dedicated to music education and to their artists.” - Jim Widner Leader of the Jim Widner Big Band and Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Missouri-St. Louis NORTH CAROLINA MUSIC EDUCATOR | 7
