Thanks to everyone who helped make this year's MODA events possible!

We had wonderful all state groups, and great conferences, as well as terrific performances at orchestra and solo & ensemble festivals. None of this would have been possible without great teachers giving of their precious time - THANK YOU!!!

Music Lists...

When you find great pieces, please remember to submit them to MODA for the Music Review Committee. It's never too soon to send in a submission for the Summer 2013 Review. Deadline is July 1st.

Opportunity's Knocking...

Getting involved with MODA is easy. We have many opportunities to be a part of the events we plan for the students of Maryland. Helping out not only benefits your students, but is a wonderful way to meet and share ideas with string teaching colleagues!
