Our members have been asking for more resources and education around teaching students with special needs, and we are excited to bring Sarah Sandvig to our Branch for this special presentation.

Sarah will share insight and strategies for teachers working with students who may learn, communicate, process, or engage differently in the music studio. We know there is a great deal of interest in this topic among our membership, and we hope you'll join us!
