Teacher Resources
Brought to you by the TeachMusic Coalition

In response to the teacher shortage, the TeachMusic Coalition was formed to help find resources and solutions to the immediate, short-term and longer-term challenges facing the music educator workforce, working to retain, shepherd, and recruit the next generation of music educators.

This coalition is made up of many industry partners, including the American Choral Directors Association, the American String Teachers Association, Music for All, the National Association for Music Education, the National Federation of State High School Associations, the NAMM Foundation, and many others.

Miguel Raul Zayas
George Mason University, from Los Angeles, CA

“The reason why people should pick a career in music education is because you’re teaching them self expression. You’re not just teaching how to play an instrument, you are teaching them how to express their feelings and cope with their emotions if needed.”

Ramon Rivera
Mount Vernon School District (WA) Mariachi Director

“We get to show the kids that you can make it. We have to show the kids that you can believe and be a leader. You have the power as an educator, use your platform.”

Xolani Celuxolo Tsela
George Mason University, from Kingdom of eSwatini, South Africa

“I believe that music connects us to our true and greater joy. It is of high importance to become a musician because we can experience that joy and also share it with our communities.“

Telah Harper
George Mason University Student, from Clinton, MD

“You can help students connect with music and each other in ways that they may not get in their day-to-day.”

Reese Tunstall
Christopher Newport University, Newport News, VA

“If you find joy in seeing students have their ‘lightbulb on’ moments, then you will find joy in teaching.”
