The mission of the New Jersey Music Educators Association is the advancement of music instruction in New Jerseys educational institutions at all levels that provide in-service and enrichment opportunities for practicing and retired teachers and prospective music educators, as well as sponsoring various festivals and all-state performing groups for K-12 students.

In public schools this support should come from public funds. The music program should not depend on funds raised by students, teachers, or support groups. The NJMEA believes that if and when fiscal pressures require cutbacks in school programs such savings should be made equitably across subject-matter fields in order to maintain a balanced curriculum. NJMEA is opposed to any categorical cuts that would curtail or eliminate specific programs.
