UWSP’s College of Fine Arts and Communication is proud to host the annual Active and Integrative Music Education (AIME) conference. This conference provides a place of connection and lifelong professional development for music educators past, present, and future. The event will be held in person in the Noel Fine Arts Center on the UWSP main campus.
With an eye towards reengergizing praciticng music educators through scholarship focused on active music making and integrating the best practices and ideas from general music education throughout the music education curriculum in new contexts including ensembles, this conference is a place for sharing knowledge and music making both online and in person. Our 2023 conference theme is Inspiring Innovation.
This gathering is a place for all scholars in the field: music teachers, graduate students, undergraduate pre-service music educators, collegiate music teacher educators, music therapists, studio teachers, and retired music educators to come together and learn from and with one another, while hopefully making music together, sharing successes with their students, and inspiring one another. It is hoped that this will be a positive and uplifting day that will encourage us all and ‘recharge our batteries’ as we head into our Spring semesters and a new year full of hope and optimism for what music education at its best can mean for students of all ages!
