IFMC Convention 2019 is the place to be this year! If there’s one convention to attend—this is it! We will have fantastic performances, engaging lectures and demonstrations, and of course, a chance to meet fellow music educators. Our local association is eager to welcome you and want you to hear our beautifully restored 1904 Pleyel double grand featuring the Happy Dog Duo! As you can see from the schedule, this is going to be one fabulous time!

​

This is also the time where you as members can learn more first-hand about your organization and be a part of its future. Our state board meeting will be held, and we hope to welcome some new blood.  We will vote on the proposed changes to our bylaws. We ask each club to send at least one representative to vote on these important issues. Submit your voting credentials so that you can have your voice heard.
