THE TENNESSEE MUSICIAN
THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE TENNESSEE MUSIC EDUCATION ASSOCIATION
The Tennessee Music Education Association (TMEA) was officially formed in
1945 as a voluntary, non-profit organization representing all phases of music education
at all school levels. The mission of TMEA is to promote the advancement of
high quality music education for all. Active TMEA membership is open to all persons
currently teaching music and others with a special interest or involvement in
music education. Collegiate membership and retired memberships are available.
Membership applications are available on the TMEA web site, www.tnmea.org.
The Tennessee Musician was founded in 1948 with J. Clark Rhodes appointed by
the TMEA Board of Control as inaugural editor. Tennessee Musician was preceded
by an earlier publication, Tennessee Music Editors’ Downbeat, which was
discontinued by the TMEA Board of Control at the spring board meeting, held in
Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1948. Tennessee Musician is published by Slate Group
– Lubbock, Texas and is mailed to members four times each year at an annual
subscription rate of $6.00 (included in dues). Non-member subscription rate (includes
S&H): $30.00 per school year; single copies: $10.00 per issue
