Centennial Home

Welcome to the official MENC Centennial Celebration website! In 2007, MENC celebrated one hundred years of advancing music education. Beginning with a small meeting of 104 music supervisors in Keokuk, Iowa, our organization has grown to include music educators at all levels from prekindergarten to university, college students preparing to become music teachers, high school music honor society members, music industry representatives, music supervisors, and parents and community members who support our cause. With more than 130,000 members, MENC is the world's largest arts education association.

Read "A Centennial Declaration for MENC: The National Association for Music Education."

Take a moment to explore MENC's Centennial site, including a timeline of MENC history, pictures, descriptions of our past presidents and association founders, information on the official MENC Centennial book and canon (composed for the event), and more. MENC welcomes your feedback! Please contact us with questions, comments, suggestions, or corrections.

Thank you to all MENC members and supporters for 100 years of contributions to music education!
