Hennekes Music Award

In memory of Robert Hennekes (1930-2004), the Music Teachers of the Desert has established a biennial awards competition beginning in May of 2006. Hennekes served MTOD in many offices including several terms as president. In addition he was treasurer for the California Association of Professional Music Teachers. At the time of his passing, Aart Hennekes, his partner of 42 years, generously and thoughtfully initiated the funding for a continuing awards program to benefit qualified music students.
