My Experience at NCKP 2021
Summer 2021 found the world struggling to regain normalcy as we adapted to a new style of living. In the music profession, we quickly established new ways to learn and teach that continued to change the lives of countless students. The Frances Clark Center faced the challenge of organizing NCKP 2021: The Piano Conference in a virtual modality that had never been explored before. The results far exceeded the expectations anyone could have ever had.
Personally, my relationship with NCKP is quite unique and special. NCKP 2021 saw the introduction of a new track for Spanish and Portuguese speakers. I was honored to lead the committee that planned this event. Together, we curated twenty-nine sessions in Spanish and Portuguese, with English closed captioning, on a large array of topics that added a new perspective to the conference.
I found it stimulating to be involved in discussions, learn from the research presented by hundreds of presenters, and develop new friendships that have greatly enriched my life, both professionally and personally.
As if that was not enough to make NCKP 2021 special for me, it was not only the first time I was able to attend, but also, I was honored to be selected to present both at the main conference and the Spanish track. I found that the conference offered me the opportunity to interact with people in our profession from across the globe. I found it stimulating to be involved in discussions, learn from the research presented by hundreds of presenters, and develop new friendships that have greatly enriched my life, both professionally and personally.
