REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

The Southwest Regional Practicum is designed to convene Teaching Artists from El Sistema-inspired and community music programs across the Southwest, including Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Over two full days in-person, participants gain new skills and tools that directly support the continued growth of their teaching practice as they hear from expert clinicians, reflect together through collaborative conversations, observe teaching artistry in real-time, and build a network of peer Teaching Artists. 

We look forward to meeting you March 27-28, 2028 in Tulsa, OK!
