"This event is important because it shares the
value of participatory education. The Each One Teach One Conference, in its
brief history, has established itself as an annual event which uses these
techniques to further our knowledge of ourselves as culture carriers. Music and
the influences upon it carry the soundtrack and imprint of our very lives.
Whoever attends this conference leaves it better equipped to make a meaningful
contribution to the culture".-David Jasaga Sawyer
Past participants have said...
"Each One Teach One is Vital, Not Only Because
Knowledge Empowers, but because Shared Knowledge among Peers Encourages,
Enriches and Establishes a Firm Base that Could Not be Acquired Alone...”

“Kevin, I think we should be thanking you for your
time and effort!
This was a great conference that has given me as a
blues musician a lot of insight on music as a whole. This is a wonderful thing
that you have put together. You have my 100% support for any future seminars/conferences.
This is a great opportunity to network and keep music and all aspects about it
alive in Pittsburgh!”
So, hats off to you and "Blues more than just a
Faze"! Ms. Freddye
“It's a good feeling that good people like you keep
the pulse of music beating strong.”
