MMEA is excited to offer another jam-packed schedule of concerts, clinics, and exhibits with outstanding ensembles, nationally recognized clinicians and music- related exhibits that we know you will find educationally rewarding and inspirational. For seventy-six years MMEA has been providing quality educational opportunities and resources for Missouri’s teachers and students to further our goal that “every student in Missouri shall have access and exposure to a well-balanced comprehensive, sequential based high quality program of music instruction, taught by fully certified music teachers.” In keeping with this time honored tradition the MMEA Board of Directors and Advisory Council have worked tirelessly to offer our membership quality professional development opportunities that are relevant to our profession today. It is with a commitment to our goal and in reverence of our past that we dedicate this conference to Mentoring~Investing in the Future. It is a goal of this conference and beyond that by building on our collective knowledge and passion we can ensure music education for all students for many years to come. Given the current climate of economic and political change in Missouri education there has never been a more opportune time to offer a support system to the next generation of music educators. Though armed with a broad in-depth course of study, graduating music education majors enter the teaching ranks and face an enormous array of responsibilities unique to the music educator. Unfortunately there is no “music teacher GPS.” It is the intention of MMEA to promote a mentoring community of experienced educators who will offer assistance to young, eager teachers as they develop their teaching skills. We often hear the expression, “It has come full circle.” Mentoring is not a circle; it is a lineage (Cramer). It is our goal to facilitate mentoring among our membership. Throughout the conference, the role of mentoring in music education will be explored from a variety of perspectives, creating a forum where opportunities for mentorship are identified and strengthened. You will see the addition of a series of new sessions to the conference schedule titled: “Student/New Teacher Sessions.” Following in the tradition of MCDA we offer these sessions as an opportunity for experienced teachers to share insight on a variety of topics. I encourage you to pay tribute to your mentor by recognizing him or her with a MENTOR ribbon that will be worn on their name badge. You can obtain these ribbons from registration. Thank your mentors for supporting and inspiring you and ask them to wear the ribbon during the conference. I look forward to MMEA each January. I appreciate the relevancy of the sessions and the marvelous concerts, but it is time spent with friends and colleagues who think as I do and enjoy the same passion for teaching that I really look forward to. Best wishes for a wonderful conference. Listen, participate and enjoy!

Music is the greatest of the arts, at the same time it is a great science, but more than either its greatest value lies in its power as a factor in the education of the whole child for the enjoyment of life and a sane constructive citizenship.” “Address of Mrs. Frances E. Clark, National Federation of Music Clubs, St. Louis, Missouri, Nov. 9, 1921.” Music Supervisors Journal, December 1921, p. 21. 6 HALL OF FAME Missouri Music Educators Association Hall of Fame 1985 2001 2008 Paul A.
