John K. Southall, Ph.D. FMEA Conference Dear FMEA members, dignitaries and guests: Chairman

elcome to the 2013 FMEA Professional Development Conference and All-State Concerts. W This annual event has grown over the years to become one of the nation’s most distinguished conferences with a primary focus on the professional development of K-20 music educators. The conference’s activities will include more than 175 clinic sessions, 20 all-state ensemble concerts and 12 invited ensemble performances. Numerous individuals from across the state have been organizing what will prove to be an outstanding conference for all. The FMEA Board of Directors, Executive committee, Conference committee and component associations have worked diligently for the past 11 months to develop the most comprehensive conference for all. Our principal concern during the conference is to assist in making your experience educationally rewarding. Warmest regards are in order for our new FMEA event coordinators Joel Pagan, Wes Rainer, Jason Albert, Dominick Eggen, Debbie Mock and Jane Whitaker. The event coordinators will be working with all invited performing ensembles and all-state ensemble coordinators for a seamless rehearsal and performance process throughout the conference. There are many wonderful performances scheduled during the conference this year with secondary, college and professional ensembles. The Wednesday evening President’s Concert will feature three outstanding high school ensembles. Thursday evening will feature college and professional ensembles. The all-state ensembles will begin their performances on Friday afternoon and continue into Friday evening and all day Saturday. The U.S. Army Brass Quintet will be the late night Friday featured professional ensemble. We have many exciting and inspirational activities planned for the first general session on Thursday and the second general session on Friday. The FMEA awards presentations will again be the highlight of Friday’s general session. Also, President Sheila King will lead us in a magnificent grand opening of the conference exhibits area on Thursday at 12:15 p.m. Please let us know if we can be of assistance to you, and on behalf of the FMEA Board of Directors, have a wonderful conference.

2013 Annual Professional Development Kathleen D. Sanz, Ph.D. Executive Director—FMEA/FSMA Conference and All-State Concerts

he conference theme, “Uniting Music Education: Models for Collaboration,” focuses on the need T for collaborating with our colleagues for the betterment of Florida’s students. The 2013 FMEA Professional Development Conference has a multitude of opportunities for educators to hear from leading experts during sessions that are applicable to and directly related to both teaching and learning. Instrumental and vocal ensembles will fill the halls with music. All-state conductors will provide exemplary models during rehearsals and performances. Take the time to observe the leading conductors in the field! The opportunity to attend one of the largest music education conferences, with more than 8,000 attendees, is truly inspirational and educational. The networking of professionals who work with students pre-K through college gives us a chance to see the sequential and spiraling curricula for students in music education. This conference provides an opportunity for collaborations with music merchants, students, parents and community artists, providing a unique experience for all attendees. Our continual focus on improving music education for students in the state, through interactions with colleagues and fellow students and by remaining current in the field of education, defines us as leaders in music education. Remember to visit the exhibition hall for the latest instructional materials and products. You can show your support by talking with the exhibitors and sharing the needs of your students and program. Our exhibitors provide an opportunity for us to work together with the industry to provide our students with the most up-to-date equipment and materials. Make a concerted effort to lead the way in the industry by sharing your expertise from the classroom with these knowledgeable businesspeople. Download the conference app onto your iPad and/or iPhone so you will have the most current updates on the conference’s schedule and other information. You may want to bookmark sessions you want to be sure not to miss. The FMEA Board of Directors and staff are here to provide assistance in any way possible to make the conference a learning experience that generates renewed enthusiasm for music education for ALL Florida students. We are in some challenging times for education. The FMEA Professional Development Conference provides a unique opportunity to renew acquaintances and build new collaborations. Working together, we have the power to make a positive difference for music education and Florida’s students. Have a wonderful professional development experience!

2013 Annual Professional Development Kathleen D. Sanz, Ph.D. Executive Director—FMEA/FSMA Conference and All-State Concerts

he conference theme, “Uniting Music Education: Models for Collaboration,” focuses on the need T for collaborating with our colleagues for the betterment of Florida’s students. The 2013 FMEA Professional Development Conference has a multitude of opportunities for educators to hear from leading experts during sessions that are applicable to and directly related to both teaching and learning. Instrumental and vocal ensembles will fill the halls with music. All-state conductors will provide exemplary models during rehearsals and performances. Take the time to observe the leading conductors in the field! The opportunity to attend one of the largest music education conferences, with more than 8,000 attendees, is truly inspirational and educational. The networking of professionals who work with students pre-K through college gives us a chance to see the sequential and spiraling curricula for students in music education. This conference provides an opportunity for collaborations with music merchants, students, parents and community artists, providing a unique experience for all attendees. Our continual focus on improving music education for students in the state, through interactions with colleagues and fellow students and by remaining current in the field of education, defines us as leaders in music education. Remember to visit the exhibition hall for the latest instructional materials and products. You can show your support by talking with the exhibitors and sharing the needs of your students and program. Our exhibitors provide an opportunity for us to work together with the industry to provide our students with the most up-to-date equipment and materials. Make a concerted effort to lead the way in the industry by sharing your expertise from the classroom with these knowledgeable businesspeople. Download the conference app onto your iPad and/or iPhone so you will have the most current updates on the conference’s schedule and other information. You may want to bookmark sessions you want to be sure not to miss. The FMEA Board of Directors and staff are here to provide assistance in any way possible to make the conference a learning experience that generates renewed enthusiasm for music education for ALL Florida students. We are in some challenging times for education. The FMEA Professional Development Conference provides a unique opportunity to renew acquaintances and build new collaborations. Working together, we have the power to make a positive difference for music education and Florida’s students. Have a wonderful professional development experience!
