Throughout my Tennessee <strong>Musician</strong> research, I am continually<br />
inspired by T. Earl Hinton’s “A Brief History of the Tennessee<br />
Music Education Association” (1998). TMEA members can<br />
read his work on the TMEA website: https://www.tnmea.org/<br />

The Tennessee Music Education Association (TMEA)<br />
was officially formed in 1945 as a voluntary, non-profit<br />
organization representing all phases of music education at<br />
all school levels.<br />
The Tennessee <strong>Musician</strong> was founded in 1948 with J.<br />
Clark Rhodes appointed by the TMEA Board of Control as<br />
inaugural editor.<br />
