Visit from Dr. Dale Lonis

Grade 7 to 9 music students and Mr. Irwin had the opportunity to work Dr. Dale Lonis this past week at Elboya. Dr. Dale Lonis has spent a lifetime leading others by conducting, coaching and teaching. Building on his considerable talents as a performing musician and athlete, he became a highly successful public school music teacher, coach, university professor, and international symphonic conductor. He then pursued his passion for the psychology of learning and musical practice earning a Doctoral Degree with extensive research in how humans learn and perceive the world around them. 

Students enjoyed the time with "Dr. Dale" and had very positive feedback on this wonderful experience.
