Thank you to the many teachers and educators for your interest in the Music Tech Lab at Central Park School. The TI:ME and MENC Convention was really informative and exciting.
At Thursday's General Session, Marvin Hamlisch was the featured speaker. He also played some of his famous compositions on the piano. The Dallas Brass had an exciting performance following Mr. Hamlisch.
