WHO WE ARE

The Coalition for Music Education was founded in 1992 when representatives of more than 20 music education organizations came together to share ideas to improve the state of music education in Canada. The Coalition quickly began working with parents and other concerned citizens to address concerns about music in schools.

Our powerful network includes thousands of Canadian music makers, educators, supporters and facilitators – all committed to protecting quality school music programs now and into the future.

Town Hall Sessions:

The second in our Town Hall series will take place on Thursday, Nov. 25 at 7:00 pm EST.

We are pleased to have Heather Fraser, Vice President of Advocacy for Choral Canada, present the findings of Singing in Canadian Schools: COVID-19 Impact Survey (2021).

During this Town Hall we also will hear details of another study taking place this school year: The Effects of Instrumental Music Practice on the Well-being, Mental Health and Social Support of Student and Community Musicians, led by the Canadian Band Association.
