3. Sound Connections Conference>>

I attended a fantastic conference put on by Unity called Sound Connections.
NTMA-H member John Hardesty was also there and we had an unbelievably wondrous
time! I highly recommend this conference to musicians and music directors who
want to get more involved, network and learn. We had workshops, sharing of
talents, service music sharing, a "store" to sell our cd's, late night
sing-a-longs, and OVERWHELMING support, inspiration, and camaraderie like you
wouldn't believe! I feel really transformed as a result of that conference, and
met so many other music directors from all over the lace>USAlace> whose churches
I'll be singing at. For those who don't know, long time New Thought musician
Richard Mekdici has been appointed by the Association of Unity Churches to head
up a department who's purpose is to help promote awareness of expand the musical
opportunities within the New Thought/Transformational music genre on all levels.
He and his team put on the conference and he also puts out a monthly newsletter.
If you want to get the monthly Sound Connections newsletter (which I also highly
recommend) you can go to unitymusic-subscribe@yahoogroups.com . If you want
to see a copy of this month's newsletter, go to
http://www.unity.org/music/soundconnections10-05.pdf . This year's conference
focused heavily on music directors, but next year's conference will also include
a lot for independent musicians like me who travel and sell cd's (or those who
would like to).>>

Blessings to all of you and thank you for your involvement in this group.
Together we can accomplish great things!>>

Remember to let me know if you plan to attend the meeting on the 29th>>
