The Coalition for Music Education has completed a ground-breaking study on the state of music education in Canada.
Access to quality music education in Canada has never been more critical.
The Coalition for Music Education in Canada, together with our partners the Canadian Music Educators’ Association, Music Canada, MusiCounts, the Canadian Network for Arts and Learning, People for Education, Western University and the University of Victoria, has completed a ground-breaking national survey to document the state of music education in Canada.
A Survey of Music Curriculum across Canada
Our National Study Report is now available!
Initiated prior to the pandemic in 2019, the study was designed to reflect the ongoing status within provincial education systems. The report is being hailed as a significant expert resource for those who develop educational policy and rebuild consistent and valued music programming into core curriculum.
Advocating for inclusion, diversity, equity and access, as well as the richness and cultural significance of music education in Canada, the hope is that this report serves as a pathway to future policy development and a focus on the implementation of ‘policy to practice’ within classrooms across the country.
– general curriculum policies for Primary and Secondary education,
– the years in which the music curriculum was last updated,
– and a list of active music education organizations in the region.
