From The Desk of Mary: Together, We Keep Music Education Strong

Our January newsletter reaches you as we approach the The 2018 NAMM Show. Safe journey to the 1,500 music teachers and school administrators coming to Anaheim for Music Education Days, and over 2,000 college music students and faculty exploring careers in music who are joining us for the GenNext program.

Please us in person or virtually for our anchor event, The Grand Rally for Music Education, on Saturday, Jan. 27 at 9 am (PT). The event features: Grammy-nominated, singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton, classical-pop tenor trio FORTE; and more. For those who can't join us in person, watch the event on NAMM.org.

Wherever you are, this event unites all of us in our efforts to strengthen music education and to inspire advocacy champions in the year ahead.

Thank you for all you do to support music education - together, we keep music education strong.
