2026 CMEA Conference

Whether you’re a new teacher, a college student preparing for your first job, or a seasoned educator, our annual music clinic/conference offers something for everyone. With nationally and internationally recognized clinicians, you’ll gain top-level strategies, inspiration, and practical tools to elevate your teaching.

We’re proud to welcome back retired educators each year—staying connected, sharing wisdom, and renewing friendships.

Our student and professional performances are a highlight, sparking motivation for your first rehearsal post-conference and showcasing excellence in music education. Don’t miss the All-State concerts as our grand finale—they’re always unforgettable.

The exhibit hall is your one-stop shop for discovering the latest teaching tools, music, travel opportunities, and more. From major brands to dedicated individual creators, our exhibitors are here to support you and your students.
