Hall of Fame Current Members

The Washington Music Educators Hall of Fame was established by the WMEA Board of Directors to give recognition for exceptional support, inspiration and outstanding contribution to the growth and development of music education, both public and private, in the state of Washington.

It was established in 1998 with a charter class of 128 members and augmented two years later with an additional 69 members. Since that time, up to ten members per biennium have been elected to the Hall of Fame.

In June 2011 the WMEA Hall of Fame Wall of Recognition was dedicated in the Jerilyn S. McIntyre Music Building at Central Washington University. The wall was funded by Ted Brown Music of Tacoma and supported with materials from Manhasset Specialty Company of Yakima.

Following is a list of those who have been honored with induction into the WMEA Hall of Fame. Clicking a name on the list will take you to more information on that individual.
