MYC'S 2010 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN BANFF, ALBERTA

The Banff Conference in July 2010, was a phenomenal success!  Here are some of the comments from teachers:

"Thank you Alberta teachers for a 12 out of 10 conference!!! Everything was top of the line ... excellent speakers, amazing food, wonderful fun, great party atmosphere, cool gifts, elegant accommodations, quality leadership, superb timing and organization, breath-taking scenery, healthy extra-curricular activities, loved the dancing, loved the singing, we had the perfect amount of free time to connect with others and you had vendors with products that are going to make my classes rock!!!
     Thank you for inviting Christopher Norton who wrote a special song just for Frances and Gunars and presented it with a beautiful slideshow.  We all cried...
    It was especially meaningful to me to hear the story of MYC from the very beginning and to see the torch passed from Frances and Gunars to Olivia and David.  Olivia and David are two very exceptional people.  They will take MYC to new heights of excellence and relevance.  What an amazing organization!  I am honoured to be part of it all!!  -- Terri


MYC2010 was a "WOW" Conference, right from comfortable accommodation and extremely cooperative hotel staff, terrific meals ... the fantastic closing banquet and all things in between.  My suitcase was bursting with all the extra special gifts, my mind is overloaded with all the fantastic teaching tips, and my heart is full of joy for the special people with whom I was able to connect and/or re-connect.  An extra special thank you to all those wonderful musicians who helped to make Christopher Norton's "At the Lake" into such a special performance; the players on piano, Lucina keytar, triangle, jingle tap and maracase, as well as that amazing choir in the background. -- Liselotte


I want to add my thanks.  Everything was AMAZING.  I feel so privileged to be a part of the MYC teaching team.  Alberta your hospitality and welcome can not be surpassed, again thank you. -- Doris


I have been to many conferences over the years for different industries and organizations with my parents, husband, and for myself.  The MYC conference was by far the most well-organized, productive, interesting, classy & inclusive conference I have ever been a part of.  Well done... -- Carrie


It's hard to say it any better than everyone already has!  What a conference!  It ran so smoothly with top notch speakers, invigorating conversations and a spectacular location!  It's so great to be part of MYC and meet the many, many talented musicians and teachers.  The future looks bright!  -- Marie


On behalf of the Alberta committee, I'd like to say that we were delighted to have you all there and hear your kind comments. ... We were thrilled with the surprises that Head Office provided for us as well (like the Birthday party, the t-shirts, and metal signs, the posters, Christopher Norton and his song, the entertainment at the Banquet).  Thanks for your wonderful efforts Kanata! -- Dora


What a wonderful experience - and even more wonderful were the people we got to share it with!  MYC certainly is a joy to be part of.  Thank you all for making this such a perfect conference not only for me, but my husband as well!  We loved every moment of it! -- Carol-Irma


As this was my first conference, I don't have anything to compare it to, but I certainly had fun and learned some things too!  I had been warned about how much fun I would have, but of course, you don't really know until you experience it. ... I can now honestly say that I would not miss another conference simply because it was a great experience in every way and I am already looking forward to the next one! -- Terri


Completely splendiferous!  ... Each breakout session that I went to was perfectly suited to my interests, needs, and passions.  I attended: Composing Made Fun, It's Not Just Business -- It's Personal, Movement in the Class, CC Idioms, and CC Mock Exam. ... Now to chart, graph, plan and implement everything I learned! -- Lydia
