What are "regions"?
SAU uses the term “Regions” to describe different geographic areas for the individual instrument groups. This is how you can search for teachers or colleagues near you, and this is usually the division for regional activities.
State-wide Regions
In some cases, the instrument group will cover the entire state. These are the instruments in this category:
- Bass
- Brass (French Horn, Trumpet)
- Early Childhood Education
- Flute
- Guitar
- Harp
- Viola
- Voice
Some instrument groups have been divided into smaller areas or Regions.
