WELCOME<br />
PARENTS, GUESTS, AND MUSIC EDUCATORS<br />
On behalf of the <strong>TMEA</strong> Board of Directors and Conference Planning<br />
Committee, we welcome you to the <strong>2023</strong> Tennessee Music Education<br />
Association <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> Ensembles concerts. Over the past three days,<br />
these outstanding students have been rehearsing with nationally<br />
renowned conductors to present complex yet beautiful music<br />
representing a variety of genres, composers, and styles. The students<br />
featured in these concerts did not begin their <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> journey just this<br />
week. Most of these students began preparing for auditions in August<br />
of 2022 for their regional association honors ensembles. Because of<br />
their hard work, perseverance, and talent, these students were selected<br />
out of thousands of their peers to perform in these <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> concerts. They have rehearsed and<br />
practiced for years to get to this place in their musical journeys. The teachers and parents of these<br />
students are most aware that these students excel in more than just music; most of these students<br />
are strong academically, athletically, and are leaders within their schools.<br />
To be certain, these students did not achieve this high honor without the instruction of their<br />
exceptional directors and music teachers as well as the unflappable support of their family and<br />
friends. To all the family members of these students, we extend our most sincere appreciation for<br />
all you have done to encourage your child’s musical pursuits. We also thank the numerous music<br />
teachers for nurturing and investing in their music students from elementary through high school.<br />
There is no way to measure the impact you have had and will continue to have on their lives. To the<br />
school administrators who provide a supportive environment and the essential resources needed<br />
for music to thrive in your schools, we thank you for valuing the importance of music in our schools.<br />
To the <strong>2023</strong> Tennessee Music Education Association <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> Ensemble Members:<br />
Congratulations on your high achievement of earning the distinction of an <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> musician.<br />
I am certain this <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> experience will reside in your memory for the rest of your lives and<br />
that when you reflect on this experience, you will fondly remember new friends you made as<br />
well as the advanced musical knowledge and skills you gained. After your <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> concert,<br />
you will take with you a truly remarkable aesthetic experience that came from an outstanding<br />
performance with your peers representing music programs from across the state. Be sure to<br />
show your sincere appreciation to your family members, friends, and directors who helped you<br />
reach this musical accomplishment. Congratulations once again, <strong>All</strong>-<strong>State</strong> musicians, on your<br />
present and future achievements.<br />

Angela Ammerman, Conductor<br />
Angela Ammerman, referred to by the Washington Post as a “music teacher prodigy,”<br />
earned degrees in Music Education from the University of Cincinnati: College-<br />
Conservatory of Music, Boston University, and her Ph.D. from George Mason<br />
University. Dr. Ammerman has dedicated much of her musical career to providing<br />
access to quality music education for underserved populations of children, including<br />
the beginnings of a strings program at a children’s home in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Dr.<br />
Ammerman is in high demand as a clinician and guest conductor and has recently<br />
been invited to conduct the California Jr. High <strong>All</strong> <strong>State</strong> Orchestra as well as the Georgia<br />
Middle School <strong>All</strong> <strong>State</strong> Orchestra.<br />
Ammerman recently completed her first book, The Music Teacher’s Guide to Engaging<br />
English Language Learners, published by GIA and written by an incredible team of ELL<br />
experts. Now, hard at work on her next book, The Music Teacher’s Guide to Recruitment<br />
and Retention, Ammerman hopes to provide greatly needed resources for music educators. Ammerman’s writing<br />
can also be found in Sandy Goldie’s Rehearsing the Middle School Orchestra, Teaching Music, The String Research<br />
Journal, and the American String Teachers Journal.<br />
Known for a passion for recruiting future music educators, Ammerman has given countless presentations, inservices,<br />
and webinars to encourage classroom teachers to recruit for the profession and facilitates NAfME’s<br />
Building a Legacy series. Ammerman was hired as the Director of Music Education at the University of Tennessee at<br />
Martin in 2017 where she built a thriving music education program and was honored as the university’s Outstanding<br />
Advisor of the Year. Recognized by Fairfax County Public Schools as the Top Teacher in 2017 and the Virginia House<br />
of Delegates in 2016, Angela diligently works to now pass along these teaching and mentorship qualities to her own<br />
Music Education students. In 2016, Dr. Ammerman was named the Virginia Orchestra Director of the Year, a finalist<br />
for the Fairfax County Public Schools’ Teacher of the Year, and Washington Post Teacher of the Year.<br />
Ammerman grew up listening to her mother teach piano lessons in her own home and attributes much of her<br />
own passion for teaching to her musical mother and her work ethic to her dad. Currently living in Virginia with<br />
her incredibly supportive husband: Dr. David <strong>All</strong>en Ammerman, and toddler violinist: David Michael, Ammerman<br />
works at George Mason University where she supervises student teachers and teaches String Methods, Lab<br />
Orchestra, and Aural Skills. Ammerman is also the President of the Virginia String Teachers Association and<br />
