Clinics

Please review all accompanying information prior to submitting clinic session proposals. Clinicians who are Kansas music educators will register for the In-Service Workshop at which they are presenting.

Each October, KMEA brings together selected members of the KMEA Advisory Board, as well as representatives from our affiliate organizations, to:

  • Review submitted clinic proposals
  • Identify proposals to be included at the In-Service Workshop
  • Schedule clinic sessions as best fits the overall schedule

The final ISW schedule is then published in mid-January after all performance and clinic times have been confirmed with each director and presenter. The KMEA President is responsible for the overall schedule of the ISW.
