Aspiring Music Majors supports students in grades 9-12 who may be interested in pursuing music as a career and/or college major or minor. In 2026, students will have the opportunity to take a self-guided tour of our Wisconsin State Music Conference exhibit hall and visit music representatives from Wisconsin and Midwest universities, colleges and music industries to learn more about the many college and career options available in music-related fields.
Do you know of an aspiring high school student who is considering music as a major in college or a career in a music-related industry field?
Encourage students in grades 9-12 to visit our exhibit hall on Thursday or Friday of the Wisconsin State Music Conference.
