The Minnesota Music Educators Association's mission is to provide high-quality music education for every student in Minnesota. To achieve this mission, MMEA provides various resources for its 2,000+ members, including an annual in-service conference and a quarterly magazine, Interval. The MMEA sponsors All-State band, choirs, orchestras, and jazz ensembles, and provides opportunities for its members students to enrich their musical experiences through elementary and junior high festivals. In addition, MMEA sponsors an annual retreat for collegiate chapter members, and advocates for music education through a variety of efforts.
