Please contact advertising@wsmamusic.org if you have any questions regarding the opportunities below or sponsoring any of our programs!

Wisconsin School Musician Magazine Advertising

As the official publication and primary means of communications for Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) and Wisconsin Music Educators Association (WMEA), Wisconsin School Musician (WSM) is written for music educators, college students and all who are interested in music education.

Electronic Newsletter Advertising

Neither WSMA nor WMEA will sell or give out our members’ email addresses. However, we do send out periodic electronic newsletters to our members in which advertisers can take advantage of advertising directly to our members via email. There are seven different opportunities to advertise throughout the year depending on when and to whom an advertiser is interested in reaching. An ad consists of a 100-word paragraph, a graphic as well as a link. Each newsletter can only accommodate two advertisers. Contact advertising@wsmamusic.org for an example of this opportunity and to reserve your spots for the 2022-23 school year.

State Marching Band Championships Program

Each year, more than 10,000 participants, spectators and marching band directors will be in attendance as more than 30 marching bands from across Wisconsin will perform and compete. Advertising is available in the event program. View ad rates and reserve ad space in the online form.

State Honors Music Projects Programs

WSMA State Honors Music Project concerts are scheduled in conjunction with the Wisconsin State Music Conference. Two printed programs are produced to be distributed at these events: one for the high school concerts and another the middle level concerts. Advertising is available for both programs. All ads are the same size (6.5″ W x 10.5″) and in black and white. For questions, please contact advertising@wsmamusic.org.

Select from an Interior Full Page in the High School State Honors program (estimated 2,500 Printed, TBD) or an Interior Full Page in the Middle Level State Honors program (estimated 1,500 Printed, TBD). Learn more about advertising in the State Honors Music Project by visiting the Wisconsin State Music Conference Marketing Opportunities page!

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.
