NAfME Webinar: Teaching Music – Teaching Culture
2025-01-28 16:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
With our attention focused on providing a more inclusive education, we will offer avenues for reshaping curricular content and method in ways that are culturally connected to the wider world. We will describe and illustrate the dimensions of World Music Pedagogy for use in K-12 schools, and will likewise introduce the curricular initiative, Smithsonian Folkways Music Pathways, as means of diversifying and expanding the music curriculum in a time of societal transformation.
Music educators will learn how music education teaches not only musical skills and understandings but also leads to knowledge of people, their languages, histories and cultures. This webinar is for music educators who care to explore how diversity, equity, and inclusion come together in curriculum and instruction that is oriented toward musical and cultural objectives as well as local and global goals.

2025-01-30 16:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
As music educators, you understand the transformative power of music in the lives of students. But how do you advocate effectively to ensure music programs are valued, funded, and prioritized in your schools and communities?

Participants will learn how to:

Build relationships with key stakeholders, including administrators, policymakers, and community members.
Navigate local, state, and federal advocacy opportunities to protect and expand music programs.
Effectively communicate with your local, state, and federal lawmakers with concrete tips and tools.

Whether you’re new to advocacy or looking to refine your approach, this session will inspire and empower you to champion music education as an essential part of every child’s learning experience. Join us to amplify your voice and ensure that every student has access to the joy and benefits of music education!
