ADVOCACY
The heart of the WMEA mission is advocacy. We want to grow a better environment for cultivating music and musicians in Wyoming. Only through standing up for the importance of music education in our schools can we ensure that our students receive the opportunities and support they deserve. In pursuing this goal, we strive to provide resources and tools to help our members give voice to music education.
We support NAfME’s initiative, Think Beyond Bubbles: Be a Broader Mind.
“Music not only impacts academic achievement, it also shapes the way our students understand themselves and the world around them. Let’s think beyond the bubbles and educate the whole student.”
