Welcome!
This handbook was developed specifically for the new music teacher in Kansas, although its use
goes far beyond geography and experience and may be helpful to all music educators. KMEA would
like to thank TMEA (the Texas Music Educators Association) for permission to use a format
similar to their New Music Teacher Handbook (online at www.tmea.org). This handbook will
be updated as needed and we hope that it will be of help to you as you progress through the school year.
