PMEA is pleased to sponsor a composition program for PMEA members and their students in conjunction with the 2026 PMEA Annual In-service Conference, April 23-25 at the Kalahari Resort & Convention Center in the Poconos. The program is offered for students, elementary through college/university levels as well as for PMEA members who haven’t been published. Selected compositions will be featured during the annual conference.

The purpose of the composition program is to promote and encourage composers of all ages to create music and to explore the way that sounds are put together in an appropriate way. Many future composers are today’s music students and PMEA members, and we are striving to encourage everyone to try their hand at composing.

Further information for the 2026 program will be available in August.
