TMEA
The Texas Music Educators Association (or TMEA) Collegiate Chapter of Trinity Valley Community College is a group designed to serve college students in two ways: 1) to introduce the profession of music education and all its facets, and 2) to assist students in making a successful transition from community college to music schools nationwide, and ultimately to professional musicians.
Following is a list of organizational activities that may be offered during the academic year.
- Attendance at the annual TMEA Convention in San Antonio, TX (Firm Activity)
- Lectures from guest artists, teachers, and/or scholars (Possible Activity)
- Etiquette Seminars (Possible Activity)
- Professional Development Workshops (Possible Activity)
- Masterclasses (Possible Activity)
- Résumé/CV Editing Services
- Trips to local public schools to observe teachers in the act of teaching music at all levels (Possible Activity)
All activities above except the TMEA convention are subject to school schedules and availability of clinicians.
Students who are interested in pursuing a music career in teaching (pre-K through collegiate), performance, or a hybrid of both are highly encouraged to take part in this organization.
