Welcome
to the Collegiate MENC: The National Association for Music Education, chapter 486 website. Our chapter is hosted in the Troy
University School of Music. We are a member and active participant in both the Alabama Music Educators Association and the
Music Educators National Conference.
Collegiate MENC is a student affiliate of MENC: The National Association for Music Education. Through this organization,
students are enabled to attend state and national conventions as participating members. The purpose of Collegiate MENC is
to make available opportunities for professional devlopment as well as acquaint students with the privileges and responsibilities
in the profession of music education.
The purpose of MENC collegiate membership
is to afford students an opportunity for professional orientation and development while still in school. It is expected that
benefits will accrue both to the students and to the professional organization as the students gain an understanding of:
1.
The basic truths and principles that underlie the role of music in human life.
2. The philosophy and function of the
music education profession. (It is expected that this will be an outgrowth of actual participation in chapter activities,
such as demonstrations, discussions, performing groups, and other campus activities and services.
3. The professional
interests of members involved in state, division, and national meetings. Collegiate memberships are also a means of establishing
contact with leaders in the profession.
4. The music industry's role in support of music education and contacts with
members of that industry.
5. The knowledge and practices of the professional music educator as it is facilitated through
chapter activity.
