Conference in our conference archive

CMN's gatherings are joyful celebrations of our music, the children in our lives, and the work we do to make a difference in the world. We share songs, ideas, and resources, plus teaching tools, songwriting techniques, community building skills, and marketing tips. In spontaneous song swaps and networking, as well as in structured workshops and presentations, we expand our knowledge and reignite our spirits. Non-members are welcome to attend.

In addition to our annual conferences, CMN hosts local get-togethers in many areas of the country. Check below for local song swaps, dinners, concerts, and even the occasional music swim party! It's a great way to get to know performers, songwriters, teachers, educators, record producers, distributors, broadcasters, parents, grandparents, and children – people in your area who value children's music.
