Fellow Music Educators!

Please consider participating in the 2023 NJMEA Music Technology Expo! This year's expo will feature two Expos - divided regionally by state as North and South. The South Expo will be held at Rowan University on May 19 and The North Expo will be held at Montclair State University on May 24. These amazing facilities will allow our student composers, producers and songwriters to present their work in an inspiring space that will provide an incredible culminating experience for all of our student technologists. Your students will have the opportunity to:

- Observe a live recording session with audio engineers

- Participate in workshops that teach them how music technology is leveraged throughout a professional creative studio

- Engage in an immersive Jam Room

- Present and have their work adjudicated by leaders in our local and national music industry

- Connect with other student musicians from across NJ

Our planning committee this year has really worked hard to ensure all of your students have an environment that values and celebrates music creation across all genres & presentation mediums. We truly hope to see you at the event and cannot wait to hear some of your students' work!

The registration deadline for the event is March 10th so please speak with your administrators now to reserve a spot! Please note that this festival is most appropriate for grades 6-12, but any students are welcome to attend whether they are submitting work or not. Please go to the NJMEA website for more information under the "festivals" tab.
