Get ready for an inspiring season of music-making, movement, and collaboration! Our 2025–2026 workshop lineup brings together dynamic presenters and creative experiences designed for elementary music educators.
Featured Presenters:
Jeaneau Julian – August 16, 2025

Each workshop runs from 9AM to 3PM, includes a lunch break, and will be held in person at various locations throughout the Portland/Beaverton/Vancouver area.
We're also planning two special events this year:
A Chapter Share where members can share their favorite classroom ideas.
