Every day, music educators are busy planning lessons, teaching melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and dynamics, all while nurturing a deep love of music in their students. It’s a commitment that goes beyond the classroom, one that shapes the future of all who pass through their doors. We applaud your dedication to not only teaching music but also developing essential life skills and sparking curiosity in your students. You encourage them to explore uncharted musical territories and to envision future symphonies.
