This program explores how to turn dreams for your studio into reality through goal setting and implementing the steps to achieve those goals. Any topic is fair game: studio administration, professional development, repertoire building, how to achieve the highest level of artistry from your students. Teachers complete a survey in advance, submitting ideas for goals they would like to set but have yet to take significant action to achieve. “Impossible” goals will be examined as well, because achieving them usually involves having the courage to step out of our comfort zones and into a realm of possibilities we might never have dreamed of. Our presenter, Narcisco Solero, is currently VMTA President-Elect. He received the Master of Music degree in Piano Performance from Indiana University School of Music and has an active teaching studio in Arlington, Virginia.
