2026 Maine Music Educators Association Conference

This mini conducting symposium will serve as a workshop for educators looking to work on and improve their conducting to create a more meaningful and efficient rehearsal process. All students, no matter what age, can and do respond to conducting gestures effectively. The goal of this session is to provide 6 teachers a chance to conduct a student group on a piece of repertoire representative of what they would do in their own program and receive feedback on their conducting from guest clinicians. This session is primarily for elementary and middle level educators who would like to improve the conducting, however all are welcome to apply and encouraged to observe the workshop. Repertoire for the session will be new literature that will cause the session to double as a reading session for the observers of the session.
