“From Our Roots We Continue to Grow”

2022 SongWorks Conference
March 31 – April 2, 2022
Dallas, TX

Dear SongWorks Educators,

I hope this finds you enjoying a rejuvenating and relaxing summer!

Even though it is only the beginning of August, we are already planning for the 2022 SongWorks Educators Association Annual International Conference, which will be held in Dallas, TX from March 31 – April 2. Please save the dates. Registration details will follow. What a joy it will be to gather in person to learn and play together again! For those who are unable to travel, we look forward to connecting with you on our planned hybrid day when registrants can access the conference remotely.

What session might you present to convey the playfulness and vibrancy happening in your classroom and musical spaces? In what ways have SongWorks Principles and Practices grounded your teaching and inspired you to stretch and grow in the last year? We would love to know about it!

Please read the Conference Proposal Guidelines and fill out the Proposal Form by September 7th.

We are eager to read your proposals! It is your teaching and sharing that creates extraordinary conference experiences. We welcome your submissions! If you have any questions, or wish to talk through an idea, please feel free to contact me at nan@songworkseducators.com.

Your 2022 Conference Chair,
Nan Fitzpatrick

‘…that by which…’

In 1946 during my first year of undergraduate studies, I took my very first course in philosophy. How I loved that course! Yet for all my enthusiasm at the time only two precise memories remain. Those of you who know me will laugh at this first one simply because I haven’t changed a whit to this day!
