Registration

We have made the difficult decision to cancel 2022 WSMA Aca U summer camp (formerly A Cappella University) due to limited teaching staff availability and lower enrollment.

Committee discussions are underway about future opportunities for students and educators, and we look forward to what is possible in 2022-23.


Eligibility

  • Any student who completed grade 8 through incoming college freshmen is eligible to participate
  • Any educator who is looking to brush up on their skills or start a cappella for the first time is eligible to participate

New Edition Available Now!

January 2023
“The Joy of Teaching”

Music educators often deem the “joy of teaching” as their number one reason for entering the profession. From sharing meaningful new ways of connecting with students to celebrating overall successes in and outside the classroom, this issue is all about ways of finding joy (again) as a music educator.

An educational collaboration by WSMA and PBS Wisconsin Education

Re/sound: Songs of Wisconsin
In a state-wide survey and listening sessions with music educators, we learned about the need for current, authentic, culturally diverse resources, as well as support in teaching with and about music from different cultures. This multimedia collection for general music programs serving grades 4-8 includes video interviews with Wisconsin musicians, performances, audio files, and educator engagement guides designed to help activate the media with learners.
