NJMEA State Conference 2014 New Academy To Be Added
NJMEA will expand on the popular academies for the 2014 State Conference! After reviewing survey information submitted by our membership, the professional development committee has added new and exciting changes to this year’s conference program.
Modeled after the Professional Learning Academies presented by NAfME the National Association for Music Education, the NJMEA academies will feature eight professional learning academies as part of the Thursday pre-conference schedule: &
Elementary Music Academy & Technology Academy & Wind Band Academy & Choral Academy & String Academy & Jazz Academy
& Marching Band Academy & Collegiate Academy
A program specific to each academy will include workshops by outstanding clinicians and formal concert performances by some of the finest high school and collegiate ensembles in the area. In addition to the exhibits, concerts and extensive choral, general music, strings, instrumental and special needs workshops offered on Friday and Saturday, each academy will continue to offer a program thread as part of the overall conference line up.
