COMPOSITION WORKSHOP @ ALL-STATE
The All-State Composition Track allows exceptional student composers to work with active composers, songwriters and artists, and collaborate with other student composers at the Illinois Music Education Conference in Peoria. This program also allows them to network with publishers, colleges and universities, and performing musicians from Illinois and across the country.
If you want to see where some of the biggest and most varied growth has been happening within ILMEA over the past few years, you’d need to take a look at the Junior/Senior General Music (JSGM) division! With new festivals, album streaming releases and an expanded Composition Contest there’s lots to catch up on to see how you and your students can get involved!
