It was wonderful to see many of you at the NJMEA State Conference in February! The IDEA Committee hosted several sessions and had the opportunity to engage with many members from across the state around topics of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access. This school year, our professional development offerings have focused on diversifying repertoire. Be sure to register for Diverse Musicians: Programming for Our Classroom with Vinroy D. Brown, Jr. on March 18, from 9 AM-11:30 AM (in-person). Hosted by CJMEA, this event is open to all NJMEA members. More information will be shared through TEMPO Express.
The IDEA Committee is continuing to plan a new statewide student conference to provide opportunities for students to engage in diverse musical experiences, including leadership, music technology, non-standard performing ensembles and more. Thank you to all who have contributed feedback in our survey this past winter! Additional information on this high school event will be shared before the end of the school year.
