The Tennessee Music Education 

Association (TMEA) was officially

high-quality music education for all. 

Active TMEA membership is open to 

all persons currently teaching music 

and others with a special interest 

or involvement in music education. 

Collegiate memberships and

The Tennessee Musician was 

founded in 1948 with J. Clark Rhodes 

appointed by the TMEA Board of 

Control as inaugural editor. 

Tennessee Musician was preceded 

by an earlier publication, Tennessee 

Music Editors’ Downbeat, which was 

discontinued by the TMEA Board of

held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 

1948.

TMEA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 


University of Memphis 

LET US COME TOGETHER TO REVEL IN THE 

RICHNESS OF OUR MUSICAL TAPESTRY, SHARE 

OUR EXPERIENCES, AND DRAW INSPIRATION 

FROM THE COLLECTIVE PASSION THAT DEFINES 

THE TENNESSEE MUSIC COMMUNITY. 

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I extend my 

warmest greetings to each of you through this edition 

of the Tennessee Musician. In March, we found ourselves 

celebrating Music in Our Schools Month®, a time to 

spotlight the profound impact of music education on the 

lives of students and the vitality it brings to our schools and 

communities. 

Music, with its unparalleled ability to transcend boundaries 

and connect us at a deeper level, is an indispensable part of 

every school’s curriculum. It fosters creativity, discipline, 

and teamwork, offering students an avenue to express 

themselves and explore their unique talents. In celebration 

of Music in Our Schools Month®, let us collectively recognize 

and appreciate you, our dedicated music educators across 

Tennessee who work tirelessly to instill a lifelong love for 

music in the hearts of their students. 

As we reflect on the significance of music in education, I am 

excited to highlight the upcoming TMEA Music Education 

Conference. This annual gathering stands as a testament to 

our commitment to advancing music education in our state. 

The conference, scheduled for April 10-13, promises an array 

of enriching experiences for music educators, providing a 

platform to exchange ideas, enhance skills, and celebrate the 

transformative power of music. 

At the heart of the conference are the diverse interest 

sessions, thoughtfully curated by our TMEA Board, to cater 

to the varied needs and interests of our members. Whether 

you are seeking innovative teaching techniques, exploring 

new technologies in music education, or delving into topics 

of inclusivity and diversity, our conference has something 

for everyone. The exchange of knowledge and ideas in these 

sessions is instrumental in shaping the future of music 

education in Tennessee. 

Equally exciting are the ensemble performances that 

showcase the exceptional musical talent within our state. 

From student ensembles to community groups, these 

performances are a testament to the collective passion and 

dedication that permeate the Tennessee music community. 

The conference provides a platform for us to revel in 

the beauty of diverse musical expressions and to draw 

inspiration from the incredible performances. 

One of the highlights of the TMEA Music Education 

Conference is, undoubtedly, the All-State ensembles. These 

exceptional groups represent the pinnacle of musical 

achievement for our students. Their dedication, hard work, 

and musical prowess are truly commendable, and witnessing 

their performances is a source of immense pride for all of us 

involved in music education. It is a moment to celebrate the 

talent and dedication of our students and the teachers who 

guide them towards excellence. 

As we gather at the conference, I want to draw your 

attention to a special event that promises to be a highlight 

of the week. The TMEA Awards Banquet, scheduled for 

Thursday evening, is an occasion to honor and recognize 

the outstanding contributions of our music educators 

and administrators. Their unwavering commitment to 

excellence and dedication to the growth of music education 

in Tennessee deserve our heartfelt appreciation. I encourage 

each of you to attend this memorable event and show your 

support for the remarkable individuals who shape the 

musical landscape of our state. 

Adding a touch of star power to the TMEA Awards 

Banquet evening, we are thrilled to announce a special 

performance by Nikisha Williams, an actress just coming 

off a successful run as Eliza Hamilton in the award-winning 

Broadway production, Hamilton. She was also on the touring 

broadway production of The Color Purple prior to joining the 

Hamilton cast. Ms. Williams’s presence at our conference 

exemplifies the enduring impact of the arts and is evidence 

that educators are performers, too. Nikisha was a member 

of TMEA and not only did her students perform at our state 

6 | TENNESSEE MUSICIAN | 2024 | Volume 76, No. 3

conference in 2015, but she was also recognized as the 

TMEA Outstanding Young Music Educator in 2016. We are 

proud to welcome her back to Tennessee for this special 

performance. 

In conclusion, I am excited about the upcoming TMEA 

Music Education Conference and the opportunities it 

presents for collaboration, learning, and celebration. Let 

us come together to revel in the richness of our musical 

tapestry, share our experiences, and draw inspiration from 

the collective passion that defines the Tennessee music 

community. 

Thank you for your continued dedication to music education, 

and I look forward to seeing you at the conference. 

Sincerely, 


39th TMEA President

TENNESSEE MUSICIAN THROUGH TIME 

As we celebrate the 75th Anniversary publication year of the Tennessee 

Musician, we recognize the work of countless TMEA members throughout the 

history of our organization for their contributions towards making our annual TMEA 

Conference possible today. The following is an excerpt from T. Earl Hinton’s (1998) “A 

Brief History of the Tennessee Music Education Association”: 

“For much of its history, the organization has placed strong emphasis on its state 

conventions. President Carolyn Travers McCalla and the board set the association's 

first stand-alone convention for November 8-9, 1954, in Nashville, on the campus of 

George Peabody College.* State conferences have, with a few exceptions, been held 

alternately in Nashville and then rotating each second year to a West and East site; in 

the East, either to Knoxville or Chattanooga, in the West, to Memphis. The board, in 

1997, adopted a resolution to keep the convention in Nashville.” (p. 5)
