Welcome

This website is part of an ongoing project from the MSBOA Music Education Committee. This group of music educators meets twice each year to discuss music education related topics and to create and compile resources for school instrumental music directors.
Directors are encouraged to visit the Music Education Workshop Committee website regularly. Resources are updated periodically throughout the year, including meeting minutes and the results of surveys that were sent out to the membership. If you have suggestions or concerns for the Music Education Workshop Committee, please contact your district representative.
