About Us
Founded in 1992, the Texas Private School Music Educators Association (TPSMEA) is a statewide organization dedicated to advancing excellence in music education across private schools in Texas. With more than 240 music educators as members, TPSMEA provides support, resources, and opportunities that help both teachers and students thrive.
TPSMEA is comprised of four divisions—Band, Orchestra, Vocal, and Elementary Music—creating a collaborative network focused on artistic growth, educational excellence, and student achievement. Through honor ensembles, performance opportunities, professional development, and advocacy, the association works to strengthen music programs and inspire the next generation of musicians.
For over 30 years, TPSMEA has remained committed to empowering educators, fostering collaboration, and enriching the lives of students through the transformative power of music.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to support music educators, inspire students, and strengthen fine arts programs in private schools across Texas through performance opportunities, professional development, collaboration, and advocacy.
