Beginning with the Annual Feierabend tradition of the Strawberry Social on Friday evening, July 25th, the First Biennial FAME Conference was convened! During the course of the following two days, conference attendees sang, danced and learned practical applications to the First Steps in Music and Conversational Solfege curricula to bring back with them to their classrooms.
Thank you to everyone who attended the conference! We all had a wonderful time.
