he conference theme, Music Education: Relevance Is Key, focuses on the relevance of music educa- T tion for today’s music educators and students. 70 years. This is the 70th year of the annual conference sponsored by FMEA for teachers and students from throughout the state of Florida. The first event was held Nov. 22-23, 1944, as a music clinic hosted at the University of Tampa and the Tampa Municipal Auditorium. This conference has grown from that first Combined Music Clinic in 1944 to one of the largest state music conferences in the country. The strength in the conference is shown by the participation of more than 8,500 individuals. These include teachers, students, parents, chaperones, vendors and administrators. When we look at 70 years of professional development and performance opportunities, we see how relevant the conference is for participants. Synonyms of relevance include applicable, apropos, germane and pertinent. As you participate in this year’s conference, Relevance Is Key, these are the terms that should come to mind as the sessions you attend are applicable to your classroom, apropos to the profession, germane to your teaching and pertinent to your continued growth as a music educator, performer and/or consumer of music. This year’s conference offers a new feature specifically with students in mind. The FMEA’s first COLLEGE NIGHT is scheduled for Friday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. This opportunity is for students, parents and teachers to visit with representatives from nearly 40 colleges and universities located throughout the nation to explore which school might be right for the students’ continued education in music. You are invited to take the time to meet with representatives from these schools to see the many programs they have to offer. In addition, as you plan your schedule of sessions, rehearsals and concerts, remember to visit the Exhibition Hall for the latest instructional materials and products. Take time to thank the sponsors who have helped to make this conference special. Saturday offers an opportunity for easy exhibit access with “no badge” needed for parents to visit the exhibits in the East Hall of the Tampa Convention Center. The FMEA Board of Directors and staff are available to provide assistance to enhance your experience at the 2014 FMEA Professional Development Conference, Music Education: Relevance Is Key. Enjoy—and have a wonderful conference!
