Made the difficult decision to cancel WSMA Aca U® 2022 Summer Camp (formerly A Cappella University) due to limited staff availability and lower enrollment. Committee discussions about future opportunities for students and educators are already focused on possibility in 2022-23.
Today was the best day! Starting tomorrow, we can play indoors! We'll still be safe with 6' distancing and bell covers. This is a huge win for the performing arts in Dane County! Thanks to everyone who advocated tirelessly. #wimusicstrong#advocacy#studentsarerockstars
I have noticed that in WI, people have found the ability in themselves to say the names of basketball players (long names!) Please apply that care to everyone. Thanks @dchungyalpa for sharing this essay by Huatse Gyal. Read it, and celebrate the beauty of Tibetan names:

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK#BelovedCommunity
Joe can clap on 2 & 4, Kamala’s kids are named after Ella Fitzgerald and John Coltrane, and Jill will be in the White House...so many hopeful music and arts education signs for 2021!
Whether students participated in WSMA Solo & Ensemble Festival or WSMA Virtual Solo Festival this school year, WSMA wants to celebrate their achievement by throwing a virtual party, and everyone's invited!

You cannot call yourself a “culturally responsive” educator if your purpose is to raise test scores rather than to liberate young people’s spirits and ignite their intellectual curiosity.
