Join NAfME
You are strongly encouraged to join NAfME and become an active member today! This organization is very practical for future music educators (elementary and general music, instrumental, string, and vocal) and studio musicians.

OMEA State Conference
Register early to attend the OMEA Professional Development Conference. Students are encouraged to PLAN EARLY: Register in advance and reserve your hotel room!

Laptops for Music Majors
A limited number of PC laptops (with Finale 2007 and SmartMusic) are available for sign-out (typically a 24-48 hour period) to WSU music majors to assist in music course related projects. Each laptop comes with the SmartMusic microphone, headphones, and a pair of USB powered external speakers. (IMPORTANT: Students must save their project to an external drive before powering off the laptop. WSU CaTS administered software called "DeepFreeze" will erase all files when the computer is shut-down. This software is necessary in order to protect the laptop from viruses and unauthorized downloads.) To sign out a laptop, contact Dr. Jagow at 775-2178 or shelley.jagow@wright.edu, and bring your Wright1 Card.
