December 2018

It is time again to plan to attend the KMEA Professional Development Conference. February 6–9, 2019 will find us in the new Kentucky Convention Center, where the exhibits will have a new home and a new look, and where the majority of the concerts and clinic sessions will be held. I am sure you are looking forward; as am I, so see what our new conference home looks like.

The planning for the conference began in March of 2018 when the Conference Planning Committee met to review the dozens of proposals for presentation. While there were MULTIPLE outstanding proposals, we feel the committee did a wonderful job by selecting topics that are timely, thoughtful, and will impact you and your students. Each of the divisions is represented by the best and brightest, and I hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to learn from your colleges and peers

what makes their programs great.

Likewise, each of the divisions provided the committee with a panel of past performers to listen to recordings submitted by groups who wish to perform. Those recordings lead to invitations to perform by TRULY the best of the best. I know you will enjoy hearing vocal and instrumental groups from all corners of the Commonwealth in concert. Take advantage of the opportunity to listen, enjoy, and recalibrate you ear, and walk away refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to teach your students at the highest level.

The Galt House and the Hyatt, along with the Kentucky Center will be the rehearsal and performance spots for most of the All-State groups. I encourage you to sit in on rehearsals and take advantage of the opportunity to see some of our nation’s finest conductors teach our students. Carve time out of your schedule to sit, listen, and learn.

I will look forward to seeing you in Louisville!

Sincerely,Terry Thompson, PresidentKentucky Music Educators Association
