Hall of Fame – Recipients

 

The LMEA Hall of Fame was instituted in 1982. Each year one or more music educators are honored for their service and contributions to music education through the years. It is with gratitude that we honor their hard work, dedication, and years of service to the music students and educators of Louisiana.
