The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) has launched a new associate membership program that offers private teachers, professional musicians, parents, and community leaders an opportunity to partner with classroom-based music educators all across the country.
“NAfME has supported music educators at all teaching levels for more than a century,” noted Peter Doherty, director of Constituencies and Organizational Development. “Since 1907, NAfME has worked to create an environment in which access to a well-balanced, comprehensive, and high-quality program of music instruction can be made available to all students.”
To help meet this goal, NAfME has opened its doors to private instructors, music program advocates, and others in our community who provide supplemental support to school-based music educators in the U.S. and around the world. NAfME encourages current members to share this new opportunity with their pool of approved private teachers, part-time instructors, program assistants, and their local music booster organizations. State association benefits are not offered to associate members at this time. A full list of benefits is available at nafme.org/membership/associate.
