Music Education Initiatives at Heid Music
Music Education is embedded at the heart of Heid Music's core values. Each of our team members believe in the power of music education. At Heid Music, we've developed a few programs to help celebrate, stimulate and encourage music education. During Music in our Schools Month (March), we run our Big 10+ Contest. The Big 10+ Contest is designed as a photo contest, allowing schools and music programs to showcase their talents and what music means to students, while competing to win amazing prizes from our vendors.

Social Media Tips

Heid Music Advocates for Music Education
At Heid Music, we believe in advocating for Music Education. This includes partnering with NAMM, WSMA, NAFME and more.
Heid Music participates in the WMEA/WSMA drive in days at the Wisconsin State Capitol, along with schools, parents, community members and other businesses to advocate and educate about the benefits of arts in education. Heid Music was involved in the creation of the bill that passed, requiring the Department of Public Instruction report card to be more transparent and report on the music and arts programs in the state in their report cards.
As part of the NAMM Fly In event, Heid Music has gone to Washington D.C. to meet with elected officials to advocate the importance of music education. Heid Music's representative was one of 100 people allowed to attend the NAMM Fly In.
At Heid Music, we collaborate and work dilligently to stay in communication with NAfME, WMEA, WSMA, NAMM, SWIM, NASMD and more. We have been fortunate enough to be involved in the founding membership of SWIM, and to send directors to the annual NASMD conference. We proudly serve on the NAMM board, dating back to it's founding with Paul Heid serving on the board. Heid Music proudly supports our repair technicians being members of NAPBIRT, National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians, and supports their attendance of conferences and educational sessions.
It is our mission to promote and support music education. Our goal is for you to feel like Heid Music is a collaborative partner of your music program.
