FMES @ SCMEA 2026 – South Carolina Music Educators Association

The FMES will feature workshop sessions presented by master teachers on the value and benefits of pursuing a career in music education, workshops by college professors on how to prepare for auditions and scholarships, a session with current collegiate students on what to expect and how to prepare for their college experience, attendance at an SCMEA conference session, time to visit the exhibits and college booths, and an awards presentation at our General Session on Friday morning.

The symposium is open to high school sophomore, junior, and senior students who are considering a career in music education. There will be a $30 registration fee to pay for lunch and workshop supplies. Our goal is to have a group of our finest students participate in the Future Music Educators Symposium in February, so I hope that you will be willing to encourage your outstanding students to explore and consider careers in music education through this one-day experience.
