Do I need to know anything about Musicplay or MusicplayOnline?
- No! This symposium is sponsored by Musicplay but it's an independent event. There are five internationally known clinicians all presenting clinics in the topics of their choice. Very diverse topics and lots of different teaching approaches! You don't need any prior experience with online settings to come and enjoy the live event. The group will be teachers from around the country and clinicians who have planned a wealth of lessons to share.
