Alice Dagger & Brigitte Downs at MMA |
Black
Cat Music Sales Consultant, Brigitte Downs back from the MMA conference said:
"It was a pleasure, as ever, to meet up with familiar faces and new at the
annual MMA conference. Ripley St Thomas CE Academy in Lancaster was a
great venue, and we enjoyed the weekend."
The MMA Conference, which took place over
the weekend is described as “a widely respected annual gathering of
professionals in music education with a comprehensive and diverse programme of
some of the best speakers in the UK. Hosted by an MMA member school, the
atmosphere is always friendly but professional and for the last five years, the
conference has sold out in advance.”
Managing Director of Black Cat Music, Alice Dagger added: "We were
able to attend some very interesting conference sessions by Music Mark and
ISM. We loved the keynote talk with Evelyn Glennie, and I was pleased to
attend the Micromusicals workshop run by Christopher Norton, as I learnt to
play piano with the help of his Microjazz piano pieces".
“The conference trade fair is always a
lively hub of activity with some thirty corporate members giving in-depth
advice and showcasing the latest instruments, products and scores” The Black
Cat Music stand
displayed Wenger music stands, chairs and accessories including the top-selling
Classic 50 music stand, the Nota Standard Chair, the Encore chair, the Preface
Conductor's Stand and the Folding Podium. The Black Cat choir folders and
band folders, with bespoke gold-blocking (also on display) continue to be
highly popular with music teachers.
