SUMMARY:2027 Minnesota Midwinter Convention
DESCRIPTION:Connect. Engage. Act. This is how we UNITE! \nFrom Nicole Thietje\, MWC Chair: The Midwinter Convention is MMEA’s annual professional development convention. The state’s largest gathering of music educators features nationally-recognized headliners\, a wide variety of performances and informances\, sessions from area presenters\, P.I.T. Stop Sessions for practical instrument tips\, an Exhibit Hall\, and tons of networking. Join us for three days of professional development delivered with joy and fun! \nMusic learning\, teaching\, and making in our state is diverse and vast. We belong to a vibrant and dynamic community of musicians and educators who create and cultivate musical spaces that are responsive to the needs of our students. Through the diversity of sound we find in our state we can celebrate our differences\, support and foster ideas that seek to expand and include\, and amplify unique and important musical voices. \nWe gather at the Midwinter Convention in support of our students\, of each other\, of our profession. We have a space to connect\, share\, and collaborate\, where we can engage in a reciprocal process by which we learn from one another and affirm the work we seek to do. Then\, we have the opportunity to turn these experiences and knowledge into action. \nWe are living in divisive times. Connection\, engagement\, and action are ways in which we can push against forces that seek to divide and separate us. We are empowered to work toward a music education that is just and accessible to all\, that honors the varied and beautiful ways that we can make music. We are committed to an equitable musical future that reflects the diversity of thought\, pedagogy\, and practices that make Minnesota such a special musical community. This is how we UNITE! \nTo engage with these ideas requires a choice and your choice to be here matters. We encourage you to connect\, to engage\, and then to act. \nWe are MMEA.
