Sarah Darling, Casey James, Striking Matches and Mark Wilkinson will perform at the opening ceremony of the 2013 NAfME National In-Service Conference at the Grand Ole Opry house in Nashville on Monday October 27,2013.
James who is best known for his days on American Idol season 9 has gone on to release his self titled debut album in March of 2012, touring across the country, releasing 3 singles "Let's Don't Call It A Night", "Crying On A Suitcase" and "The Good Life". Casey's love and passion for music and music education ring true for the musician who picked up his first guitar at the age of 14. "I really appreciate what music teachers are doing for aspiring musicians", he said. "Music is very important to me and I'm glad I can be a part of NAfME's conference".
For Sarah Darling it is a huge honor who is named the 2013 recipient of NAfME's
"Stand For Music" award adds, "My 7th and 8th grade music teacher, Ms.Stephanie Rumple, was a great influence on me. It was her careful guidance and passion for the arts that started me on my musical journey. I feel like I owe her, and all of the music teachers out there who help preserve music in our schools a huge "thank -you', for all they do. This concert will hopefully resonate with them as our way of showing thanks for their work that sometimes goes unrecognized!"
James and Darling will join their peers Striking Matches ( MTV, VH1, CMT's O Music Awards finalist) and Australian chart topper Mark Wilkinson ("Middle Ground", "All I Ever Wanted") to perform their fan-favorite songs in an exclusive intimate setting reserved for those who inspire students through music.
The concert at the Grand Ole Opry house is one of the many highlights planned for the four day NAfMe National In-Service Conference taking place from October 27th through the 30th, where the main theme centers around ways in which "Music Education Orchestrates Succcess"- in school, in work and in life.
Teachers and school administrators who attend will address the proposed re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, gain new insights into how classroom teaching styles are being evaluated, attend targeted professional development workshops, and celebrate the achievements of some of the nation's most distinguished student musicians.
