As APME continues to think globally and act locally, our Chapters serve as a point of connection before, during, and after our conferences, allowing our members to gather, network, and build community in their area. The TxAPME Chapter is an integral component of our local outreach efforts, and part of your membership fee helps to fund your state Chapter. Join the TxAPME Chapter to receive the benefits of being a member of the leading international organization advocating for popular music education as well as a member of your local Chapter. If you have questions about your TxAPME Chapter, please contact Rick Palese or Stephen Cox.
We look forward to seeing you at our booth at TMEA, February 12–15, 2025, in San Antonio!
