Dear Fellow Students,

I wanted to circulate a quick note about student-related events at the upcoming

SEM/CORD Conference. Especially for those of you who are not able to attend

the conference, please feel free to contact me with any concerns you hope the

student concerns committee will address. Good luck with your semesters (or

quarters), and I hope to see many of you in Philly!

Best wishes,

Corinna Campbell

* an open and welcoming environment of cross- cultural inquiry

Participants typically represent a wide array of interests and backgrounds:
* college music teachers
* committed amateurs
* professional performers
* jazz musicians
* K-12 teachers
* composers
* non-musical academic specialists and students

Each of the workshops is demanding, but no previous experience with any of the featured repertoires is expected or required.
