To contact the Editor, email
Membership in our state association has grown steadily and our activities, including Tennessee All-State and the TMEA State Music Conference, continue to increase in quality as well as numbers.
Below you will find:
- advertising information for school year 2010-11 and
- a contract in PDF format for reserving ad space in one or more issues of
The Tennessee Musician and ad space in the 2011 State Music Conference program.
If you contract for all four issues for this school year, we will deduct 10% of your total contact from the final payment. This discount now also applies to ads in the conference program (deadline November 1). If would be easier and less expensive if you could commit to all five advertising opportunities.
Deadline for a full (4) insertion contract, as well as for the fall issue, is September 1st. Deadlines for the other issues are:
Winter - November 1, Spring - February 1, and Summer May 1. The deadline for reserving space in the conference program is February 1.
You can use this same contract, provided below, to reserve space in just one publication, or two or three issues. Purchase orders are also acceptable.
All billing will now come from the Editor’s office so you will receive invoices directly from the Editor who will be the only one to deal with your payment. TMEA can serve you better in this way.
The Editorial office for TMEA is 3000 Ticonderoga Ln., Knoxville, TN 37920.
We appreciate your support of music education in Tennessee.
