2026 Maine Music Educators Association Conference

As music educators, we often dream big for our programs, but turning those dreams into reality requires more than creativity. It requires advocacy. In this session, you’ll learn practical strategies to grow your program by effectively working with administrators and stakeholders, building strong parent partnerships, and inspiring student buy-in. We’ll also explore resourceful fundraising approaches and ways to secure the tools, materials, and support your program deserves. Walk away with an advocacy roadmap so that you can start transforming your wish list into reality.
