In 1997, our chapter was selected from over 100 student chapters nationwide as the MTNA Student Chapter of the Year, and was profiled in the 1997 June/July issue of the American Music Teacher magazine. Our chapter has undertaken many exciting and successful projects that have positively affected music instruction on our campus, in our community, and throughout the state of West Virginia. <P> <H3><U>Upcoming Events</U>&nbsp;&nbsp;<IMG SRC="new.gif"</H3> <P> <table width="95%" height="20" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="20%" class="body"><div align="left">February 11, 2008</div></td> <td width="50%" class="body"><div align="left"><A target="_new" href="http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/news/page/6462/">Sarah Chang and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra concert</A> at Creative Arts Center, West Virginia University</div></td> <tr> <td width="20%" class="body"><div align="left"></div></td> <td width="50%" class="body"><div align="left"><br>Our group supports attendance at this concert by subsidizing half the price of the student ticket for every Collegiate Chapter member.</div></td> <tr> <td width="20%" class="body"><div align="left"><br><hr>April 11, 2008</div></td> <td width="50%" class="body"><div align="left"><A target="_new" href="http://www.keyboardcompanion.com/Larger/Johnson.html"><br><hr>Rebecca Grooms Johnson, Ph.D., NCTM</A> at Creative Arts Center, West Virginia University</div></td> <tr> <td width="20%" class="body"><div align="left"></div></td> <td width="50%" class="body"><div align="left"><br>This workshop will explore how adults learn, how to motivate the adult student to practice, how to look realistically at their lesson attendance, and what things lead to a good retention rate.
