2026 MMEA Fall In-Service Conference

Start the school year with repertoire that builds both musicianship and community. This reading session highlights accessible and engaging SAB and SATB selections designed to foster connection, confidence, and artistic growth in developing choirs. Participants will explore music that is pedagogically sound, culturally responsive, and immediately usable in middle school, high school, community, and collegiate settings. Whether rebuilding an ensemble, strengthening vocal independence, or cultivating a sense of belonging, these selections provide meaningful opportunities for singers to grow musically and personally. Discover repertoire that is accessible enough for success and beautiful enough to inspire singers throughout the year.

Belonging does not happen by accident; it is built through intentional choices in culture, communication, artistry, and leadership. This session will help choral directors examine the full family experience, from rehearsal arrival and concert logistics to audience engagement, volunteer culture, and traditions. Participants will leave with practical strategies for creating a chorus community where families feel known, singers feel supported, and directors are free to be present for the relationships, shared experiences, and musical moments that keep people coming back.

Explore exceptional repertoire for intermediate and advanced treble choirs. Drawing from a variety of styles and traditions, this session features carefully selected works that will challenge and inspire your singers. Discover new gems for your next concert program.
