Collegiate Music Educators National Conference (CMENC)

The Collegiate Music Educators National Conference (CMENC) is an organization for students who are interested in teaching music. Whether you intend to teach at the elementary, high school, or collegiate level, or if you just enjoy being involved in music, CMENC can be of great value to you. Monthly meetings are held to inform members of new ideas and techniques, and to discuss ideas for reaching the community. Also, guest speakers are often brought in to give valuable insight to things that are not learned in the classroom.

Each spring a state conference is held to bring music educators together from all over the state of Alabama. Later in the year, there is also a national conference. At these conventions, sessions are held on topics ranging from teaching children with disabilities, to making the most of your time in the classroom, to fun activities for children’s choirs. This is also a great time to meet other students and educators from around the state and the nation who are interested in learning more about music and increasing their knowledge for reaching children in a whole new way.
