Coming Soon: The DCMEA Drive

The DCMEA Drive will be your central hub for music education resources. Designed to support educators across Washington, D.C., the DCMEA Drive is a collaborative library where members can discover, access, and share high-quality instructional materials, concert repertoire, lesson plans, assessments, advocacy tools, professional development resources, classroom management strategies, and more.


Whether you're a first-year teacher looking for inspiration or a veteran educator with resources to share, the DCMEA Drive grows stronger through the contributions of our community. Help us build a collection that reflects the creativity, expertise, and diversity of music educators across the District by exploring what's available and submitting resources that have made a difference in your classroom.
