We are headed back to Birmingham! It is not too early to start thinking about attending our AMEA Conference in January, 2025. Just remember, you must join NAfME, and you should pre-register if possible. A healthy organization is always concerned with growth and development, and the AMEA board is interested in growing our organization, and for getting all music teachers in Alabama involved in professional development through AMEA and NAfME.
We’re back! We hope everyone’s summers involved rest and rejuvenation, leading up to a year filled with growth and inspiration. One opportunity that will surely inspire you is our 2024 Alabama NAfME Collegiate Summit. This year’s event will be on Sunday, September 22nd, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Hulsey Center for the Arts. The theme for this year is “Community.”
I am excited that the AMEA board and staff are making plans for the 2025 AMEA Professional Development Conference in Birmingham on January 23-25, 2025. It will be good to be back in Birmingham and I look forward to serving you!

If I’m completely honest, I’ve had a difficult time thinking of what this article should cover. In normal years, this article would cover the great successes of our conference. We would all glow about the fantastic performances, the thought-provoking sessions, and the time shared with like-minded colleagues. However, this year is different. We are not left with fond memories, but merely our wonderings of what could’ve been.
