This Convention will be a wonderful learning opportunity for ALL who teach children ages 0-7. You do not need to be able to play an instrument or sing in front of the group.
This will be a valuable experience not only for music specialists but also for day care providers, pre-school teachers, early elementary teachers and administrators. This is an amazing opportunity for us to all gather, learn and share for the benefit of the children.
Sessions will include movement, singing, instruments, research, demo classes and more.
Join our artists: Closing Concert, Sunday August 6 at 1:30 pm
Tickets included with full registration. Tickets will also be available to the community at $10 for adults and $5 for children.
Think about sunny skies, cool breezes, palm trees and friendly faces and you'll be at our San Diego Convention.
This is a very reasonable way not only to mingle with and learn from fellow educators but also to take a San Diego vacation. Early Bird Registration for ECMMA members – by June 10 is only $210 and Lodging with meals is between $210 and $225 for 3 nights.
