CMEA Conference 2012

My impressions of the CMEA conference so far is that there seems to be a lot less people here.  I'm worried about my slots tomorrow that I might be talking to myself.

I am presenting two workshops.  First at 8am is talk with Doug O'Grady outlining our iAlchemy project.

Second is an iPad workshop.

Here are the apps I will go over (very quickly...) in the session.  This list is by no means exhaustive or complete.  This is a music teachers conference.

Pierret Saxophone

Last fall I found a Baritone Saxophone that was in pretty bad shape.  I didn't even know I had it, it was being used in the art department for making three dimensional drawings.  I just got it back from Chuck (our repairman) and it sounds great.

But we know little about it.   Any facts you know would be helpful.

It a Pierret Saxophone.  It's serial number 53880.
