National Music Council Invites Artists to Share Their Appreciation for Music Educators During the COVID Pandemic

The National Music Council of the United States invites artists to share their support for music education and music teachers by submitting a brief video thanking them for their commitment to our children. Tell them how important school music was for you. Tell them how big an impact your school music teacher had on you as a student. Let them know that their efforts really matter, especially in times of crisis.

Submit your 30-60 second video to David Sanders at sandersd@montclair.edu.

Here’s what some friends of the Council have to say to music teachers and administrators:
