APME organizes annual conferences to celebrate, critique and explore teaching, learning, researching, creating, and performing in popular music. The conferences welcome people with interests in higher education, elementary and secondary schools, researchers, industry professionals, and performers.
APME’s growing community of teachers, professional musicians, researchers, students, music industry professionals, and music teacher educators contribute to the embodiment of a vibrant, multifaceted music ecosystem. These networks of knowledge, understanding, and experience afford us the opportunity to learn with and from each other and to expand our collective voice as a leader in the field of music education.
