Celebrating 88 Years of Music Education

The Nebraska Music Education Association (NMEA) is a non-profit organization of music educators founded in 1937. To achieve the goals of our mission, we provide continuing education opportunities, recognition, scholarships, and advocacy to our educators. For their students, we offer education, auditions, competitions, and performance opportunities. All members and member students are eligible to attend the annual All-State and Conference/In-Service Clinic held in November each year.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your contributions to NMEA support music education in the state and are considered charitable, tax-deductible gifts. Thank you for your support!

Letter for School Administrators

We’d greatly appreciate your help in sharing the letter linked below with your school administrators, which will also be emailed to them. It highlights opportunities for them to attend our conference, support your professional growth, and learn more about our mentorship program.

Your advocacy ensures administrators see the value of music education and helps secure support for you and your colleagues to attend the 2025 NMEA Conference/In-Service Clinic. Thank you for passing this along!
