Words from Laura:

Welcome to TPSMEA, the Texas Private School Music Educators Association.  We are an organization formed and run by musicians dedicated to providing outstanding musical experiences for students in private and parochial schools in Texas.   Private education provides a unique, varied and personalized avenue for arts education.  TPSMEA provides a wonderful vehicle to enhance the specialized music programs of these outstanding private educational institutions.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the TPSMEA All-State Band, Choir and Orchestra.  We provide competition opportunities in Concert and Sight Reading for large ensembles.  Individual student development is further encouraged in our Solo and Small Ensemble competition.  Through these activities and more we are constantly striving to create quality musical experiences that will inspire and challenge our students.

Please take a moment and browse our website for important information on upcoming  events.  It is my honor and privilege to serve this fine organization.  If I can be of help, please contact me at president@tpsmea.org
