PRESIDENT’S<br />
WELCOME<br />
On behalf of the <strong>TMEA</strong> Board of Directors and<br />
<strong>Conference</strong> Planning Committee, welcome to<br />
the 64th Annual Tennessee Music Education<br />
Association <strong>Conference</strong>. We are excited to<br />
welcome music educators, music merchants,<br />
and student performers from across this great<br />
state for four incredible days of learning,<br />
sharing, and music making. All of this would not<br />
be possible without the generous support of<br />
our conference sponsors. Thank you for your<br />
contributions to our organization and for your commitment to supporting<br />
music in our schools so that all students have access to our programs.<br />
I always view our annual conference as a homecoming where friends and<br />
colleagues can come together to catch up, learn together, and develop<br />
new relationships. This comradery is essential to building a community of<br />
professionals where we feel strengthened and where iron sharpens iron.<br />
As you will see in this program, our <strong>Conference</strong> Planning Committee has<br />
tirelessly worked to provide opportunities to learn from highly knowledgeable<br />
and experienced presenters on essential topics targeted at improving and<br />
enhancing our quality of instruction. Our invited performance ensembles<br />
represent some of the finest music programs from diverse settings across the<br />
state. We have also assembled some of the most renowned conductors to<br />
work with our accomplished All-State student musicians, and you will have the<br />
opportunity to observe them practicing their craft in rehearsals as well as at<br />
the culminating concerts Friday evening and Saturday morning. Throughout<br />
the conference, we also invite you to spend time conversing with our vendors<br />
and exploring their programs and products in the exhibit hall.<br />
We hope you will find renewal and inspiration during this conference while<br />
enjoying the beauty of the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.<br />
It is our hope that you will return home inspired to implement new ideas and<br />
concepts you have been exposed to at this conference which will motivate<br />
you with the renewed energy and passion needed to successfully finish the<br />
academic year. Tennessee is blessed to have such highly qualified music<br />
teachers, talented students, and strong advocates and supporters of music.<br />
Thank you for your commitment to music education and your devotion to<br />
lifelong learning. We hope you enjoy the conference.<br />

Interim Dean, University of Memphis College of Communication and Fine Arts<br />
