The National Conferences of The College Music Society present higher education’s broadest array of topics dealing with music. Engagement, composition, cultural diversity, ethnomusicology, gender issues, music education, musicology, classes for non-majors, pedagogy, performance, music theory, teacher training, the latest technologies, and world music are explored in a variety of formats, including open discussions.
The CMS National Conference routinely attracts over 350 faculty, administrators, publishers, and music business personnel who share a common interest and dedication to the improvement of music and its relationship to the other academic disciplines of higher education.
Through addresses, concerts, lecture-recitals, panels, performances, and workshop sessions, the conferences provide the opportunity to consider the philosophy and practice of music as an integral part of higher education. Through formal sessions, open forums, and dialogue with colleagues from around the country, the meetings provide the opportunity to share insights and perspectives on teaching, to hear new and unusual musics, to experience regional musics, to discuss American musical life and culture, and to consider future directions for the art of music.
