National Association for Music Education (NAfME), among the world’s largest arts education

organizations, is the only association that addresses all aspects of music education. NAfME

advocates at the local, state, and national levels; provides resources for teachers, parents, and

administrators; hosts professional development events; and offers a variety of opportunities for

students and teachers. The Association orchestrates success for millions of students nationwide

and has supported music educators at all teaching levels for more than a century.

Since 1907, NAfME has worked to ensure that every student has access to a well-balanced,

comprehensive, and high-quality program of music instruction taught by qualified teachers.

NAfME’s activities and resources have been largely responsible for the establishment of music

education as a profession, for the promotion and guidance of music study as an integral part of the

school curriculum, and for the development of the National Standards for Arts Education.

When you join this national organization you will automatically become a

member of the state arts organization NCMEA: The North Carolina Music

Educators Association; you will also be granted access to hundreds of online

resources for music advocacy, further professional development opportunities, and much more.
