Tri-M Music

History

 

What is Tri-M?

 

Incorporated in 1952 as the “Modern Music Masters” (hence the current “Tri-M” name). In 1983 it became an approved program of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) and in 1986 Tri-M was recognized by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) as an approved program.
