CMA Foundation Names 2022 Music Teachers Of Excellence Honorees

May 4, 2022/in Uncategorized /by Lydia Farthing

The CMA Foundation will honor 30 music teachers from across the country as Music Teachers of Excellence. In its sixth year, the program recognizes educators who are having the greatest impact on their students, using the power of music as an avenue for change.

The CMA Foundation will hold its sixth Music Teachers of Excellence Awards in Nashville on Wednesday, Oct. 19. The Foundation will also invest $150,000 total to all of this year’s recipients, half of which will go toward their classroom needs and music programs, while the other half will support professional development and personal expenses.

“We are incredibly proud to support these 30 amazing music teachers through this program,” says Tiffany Kerns, Executive Director, CMA Foundation. “Music Education is essential to the well-being of students everywhere. We believe that without excellent teachers, a high-quality education for our students wouldn’t be possible. Welcoming this new class brings our staff and country community so much joy–we cannot wait to celebrate their achievements this fall!”

Music Teachers of Excellence are selected based on their dedication to bringing a high-quality music education to their students and the impact they’ve had on their school community through music. To date, the CMA Foundation has invested over $27 million, including $850,000 towards Music Teachers of Excellence to ensure music educators have the support and funding needed to create a thriving program within their school and community.
