Professionalism
We believe that music education should be taught by professionally trained music educators with proficient knowledge and skills in the areas of music performance, pedagogy and musicianship. We value, encourage, and promote ongoing professional development.
Research
We believe that students are best served through research based practices that support Music Educators' instructional decision-making, as well as historical and philosophical research that provides perspective in designing curriculum to meet the needs of students and communities.
Advocacy
We believe that the best advocacy for music education is strong music programs. We believe it is the responsibility of the MMEA to individually and collectively take all practical and appropriate action steps to promote the mission and values of the organization.
