The Texas Future Music Educators was established in 2004 to support students who have an interest in a music education career. The purpose of the chapters is for members to provide service to their school music programs and to prepare for entry into college music programs. TFME chapters meet at least four times per year and provide services to their school’s musical organizations. Members explore the possibility of becoming a college music education major and an TFME member who has pre-registered may attend the annual TMEA Clinic/Convention  on Friday and Saturday.
