2018 Wisconsin State Music Conference
WMEA News WMEA Elections
WMEA is in the planning stages for the 2018 Wisconsin State Music Conference. The morning planning session took place on Saturday, January 6 at the Wisconsin Center for Music Education in Waunakee. Music educators from all over Wisconsin attended to discuss and prioritize session proposals for this year’s conference.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Music Education: Embracing Diversity.” This theme was generated in response to the movement NAfME is making with I.D.E.A. (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access). Diversity could mean a lot of things like socio-economics, ethnicity and gender, but also include what music educators teach in the classroom. Does the school district that you teach in offer any non-performance based classes?
The dates for this year’s conference are October 24-27 in Madison. Mark your calendars now and plan on attending. Please visit
wmeamusic.org/conference to register, reserve a hotel room and for more information.
WMEA Awards
Before the school year comes to an end, please consider nominating a deserving person for the Community Service Award, Distinguished Administrator Award, Dis- tinguished School Board Member Award and Michael G. George Distinguished Service Award. In addition, the Melvin F. Pontius Creative Sparks in Music Educa- tion Award is given to music programs from around the state that have a creative, innovative or imaginative aspect to them. It could be in the classroom, an extension of the classroom, or a community outreach project or relationship. The award applica- tion needs a YouTube video upload, which is unlike the other awards. Self-nomina- tions are encouraged. The deadline is June 1 for all award applications. Please go to
wmeamusic.org/awards more information and to nominate.
