The SmartMusic blog is celebrating National Teacher Appreciation Week by inviting readers to share stories of music educators who helped shape their lives. The first 50 people who do will receive a Starbucks gift card (and there are still gift cards remaining). In addition, one participant will win a SmartMusic educator package including a SmartMusic educator subscription, 5 student subscriptions, and a copy of Finale 2014.

Check out the details here, but hurry, because your entry must be posted before 3 p.m. eastern time on Friday, May 8, either as a comment on the SmartMusic blog, Twitter, or on our Facebook page.
