CMENC [Collegiate Music Educators National Conference]

MENC serves as the leader and spokesperson for music education in the United States. Presently there are more than six hundred student chapters on University campuses. The purpose of collegiate membership is to provide opportunities for professional development for University students of music education through not only on-campus activities of the chapter, but also participation in state, regional and national meetings of MENC.

Yearly dues are minimal and include a subscription to the Music Educator s Journal (national MENC journal), Teaching Music, and Missouri School Music Magazine (state periodical).

Students should join who love music; want to work actively to improve music education, and who want to identify with other leading professionals in their chosen field of music education. Missouri Southern consistently has one of the largest University CMENC chapters in the state and the music faculty strongly encourages all music majors and participants to join this worthwhile organization.
