GenNEXT is our future: the up-and-coming music educators of tomorrow’s classrooms. Designed for those in college and the first 5 years of their professional career, GenNEXT offers programming and opportunities to help bridge the gap between graduation and a career in music education.
GenNEXT launches at the 2023 Clinic with a track specifically designed for those ages 18-25. Those over age 25 who are beginning a second/new career in music education are also encouraged to participate in GenNEXT events.
