Professional Resources
CMEA is committed to providing resources that support the professional goals of pre-service, new and veteran music educators. Professional development opportunities take place throughout the year from one day workshops with specific focus and a comprehensive, multi-day annual conference to more informal networking for members attending one of our several student events.
CMEA members may take advantage of our newest service, the PD Outreach Program. This is meant to assist teachers with bringing quality, relevant and affordable professional development workshop clinicians into their own school district. Check out our current list of available workshop topics. To help defray the cost even further, for those districts/schools of limited means, CMEA members may apply for one of a limited amount of subsidies
The CMEA NEWS magazine publishes informative articles on all areas of music education and provides insight into what’s happening in music classrooms in our state and beyond. Visit the job board to view teacher vacancies and the additional resources page for more materials, including the CMEA music library of ensemble repertoire from which members may borrow to use with their school ensembles.

Professional Development Outreach Program
The Professional Development Outreach Program provides an opportunity for CMEA members to bring relevant, quality professional development into their own school districts by requesting sessions from a list of topics and clinicians compiled by our professional development committee. Members may also apply for a subsidy to help offset the cost of the clinician’s fee.
