Mark down Oct 27-30. And kick up your heels.

Join us in Music City for a conference that’s different in every way – at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Conference Center. Nashville is one of the great music cities in the United States, and the hospitality is second to none. It’s sure to be as fun as it is informative.

More learning sessions.

This year, you’ll have a whole new range of practical sessions to choose from – giving you tools and techniques you can take right into the classroom. Our new format gives you an exciting program of professional development opportunities you can select based on your interests.

It’s also a great chance to meet and share ideas with music educators, teacher-educators, and enthusiastic arts supporters representing many geographical regions and numerous specialties.

More jam sessions.

Enjoy inspiring performances throughout the conference, including a free Opening Night Concert at the Grand Ole Opry House, as well as receive free admission to the All-National Honor Ensemble Concert featuring some of the finest student musicians from around the country.

You can also take in a Disney theatrical performance and a special headliner that we’ll be announcing soon. When it comes to doing in-service, attending this conference is definitely not the same old song.
