Do you have a creative way to teach a song? Enter the WLC Song Lesson Plan Contest. All MENC members are eligible to submit up to three (3) lesson plans based on the 2009 World's Largest Concert song "There's Magic in the Music." Lessons will be judged by a teacher committee and the top lesson plans will be announced in March 2009 during Music In Our Schools Month.
Contest Deadline: January 5, 2009
