Convention
To attend the annual Clinic/Convention, music educators living in Texas must be active TMEA members. When you join or renew, you will have the option to pre-register for the convention. TMEA Clinic/Convention is February 9-12, 2011. Pre-register for the convention to save money and time.
Pre-registration Fees:
$50–Active and Out-of-State Members
$15–Retired Members
$0–College Members (included with membership dues)
On-site Registration Fees:
$70–Active and Out-of-State Members

Note: TMEA will not accept on-site fees before the convention. Fees sent to TMEA after the pre-registration deadline will be returned.
2011 President's Concert
When you pre-register, you can purchase your tickets to the 2011 President's Concert featuring the Swingle Singers. Be sure to make plans to attend this extraordinary event!
Membership and Registration Methods
Online: With e-checking available, we prefer you pay online whenever possible. It lowers administrative costs, thus allowing us to keep your membership dues low. It also provides you with membership confirmation within a few hours. Payment may be made online using Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, or personal check. January 14, 2011 is the online pre-registration deadline.
Onsite: If you do not pre-register or renew your membership by the pre-registration deadline, you can do both when you arrive for the convention (at a higher registration cost). Registration opens Wednesday, February 9 at 1:00 p.m. and closes Saturday, February 12 at 2:00 p.m.
Mail or Fax: If renewing online is not possible for you, download the membership form (PDF) to renew your membership and/or register for convention by mail or fax. Accepted mail and fax payment methods include American Express, Visa, MasterCard, personal checks, ISD checks, and purchase orders. The mail and fax renewal/pre-registration deadline is December 31, 2010. Confirmation can take up to ten business days.
After renewing your membership or pre-registering for the convention you will receive an email with your receipt and membership card attached. To ensure you receive this email please add "membership@tmea.org" to your allowed senders. Please be aware this is an automated email address and emails sent to it will not be answered.
