Philosophy Statement

Mission Statement

Wisconsin Music Educators Association supports music education by representing the shared interests and needs of Wisconsin music educators and fostering their professional growth in a global society.

Philosophy Statement

Music is an integral part of a complete education. Music engages people in objective, subjective, symbolic, and concrete aspects of human experience.

Music education improves learning in other subjects. Quality music education:

  • develops aesthetic awareness and sensitivity;
  • provides a source of enjoyment which enhances the quality of life from early experiences through adulthood.
  • provides a means for creativity and self-expression;
  • provides a sense of history and cultural heritage;
  • provides opportunity for visible success and achievement in the school and community;
  • develops life skills for work and personal success;
  • makes the school and community a more pleasant place to learn, work, and live;
  • increases the satisfaction derived from music throughout life; and
  • increases understanding of other cultures through music.

Goals

  • Act as an invaluable and supportive lead resource for the advocacy of music education in Wisconsin.
  • Attract and retain forward thinking music educators.
  • Provide & inspire music educators with opportunities for meaningful professional development.
  • Support lifelong learning in music.
