The NJMEA State Music Conference


this issue. We are trying to make it easier for every- one to get started requesting approval from their school boards and to process purchase orders. It is too early to list all of the sessions and activities which will be offered, but many of the “early bird” clinicians who have signed on to present sessions are listed on page 26. Last year was one of the finest conferences NJMEA has presented and this year promises to be even better. There are three ways in which you can register for the music conference: 1) go to the njmea.org website and register online with a credit card; 2) print a copy of the application form from the website or use the one in this magazine to fill- out and mail in with a check; or 3) mail a copy of your completed application WITH a purchase order from your school. Many school boards are ex- tremely slow in processing these purchase orders. It is wise to start the process NOW to avoid problems at the conference.

A copy of the conference book from LAST YEAR is on the website in case you need to show your principal or supervisor what occurs at our conference. The book for 2014 will be posted at the beginning of February. This cannot be accom- plished earlier because of changes with clinicians and rooms which take place at the last minute.

he state music conference will be held on February 20-22, 2014 in East Bruns- wick. The application is on page 64 of


Once we send the book to the publisher, we can post it for online viewing. A new item for new music teachers is a reduced


rate. The catch is, you must be a 1st time teacher, newly graduated from college/university, who was a member of their collegiate music education chap- ter. Those who qualify will receive a $50 discount on the registration fee. A new string academy has been added for this


year giving us seven (7) academies: Choral, Wind Band, Technology, Strings, Jazz, Marching Band, and Elementary. There is an eighth academy for collegiate NAfME members on Saturday. This is a special day for our collegiate members to attend sessions together, have their annual luncheon meeting, and socialize… and it includes lunch! All for $50.00! NJMEA presents one of the largest music con-


ferences in the country. There are only 1 or 2 larger than ours. We did some calculations at our summer re-organiztion meeting and found that the confer- ence costs NJMEA close to $200 and you only pay $150. Now that is a bargain no matter how you look at it! It is also an excellent method to earn your professional development hours and to improve your teaching skills.
