TMEA 2023

Red Raiders in the School of Music will represent at the Texas Music Educators Association this February 8-11, 2023.

In the second week of February, Music Educators and Performers from all around the nation will be attending the Texas Music Educators Association Conference. This year, there will be 13 different sessions with TTU School of Music.

Ever wonder why the school of music is always so quiet in the second week of February? Many of our students and faculty leave to attend the annual TMEA Conference. From February 8 – February 11, there will be clinics, performances, and an exhibit hall with musical excitement! For Raider representation at the TMEA conference, see the list of the events below. In the exhibit hall, the TTU School of Music will have a booth, meeting all in attendance and prospective students.

We hope to see you at TMEA!
