NAfME Music Teacher Profession Initiative
The Music Teacher Profession Initiative (MTPI) was formed in 2021 by NAfME to identify barriers to equity in music teacher recruitment, education, and retention. A task force of NAfME leaders representing institutions of higher education across the country conducted research related to the challenges facing:
- High school students as they make the decision to pursue a career in music education
- Collegiate pre-service music educators in their undergraduate degree programs
- New music educators in their first five years in the profession

The Teach Music Coalition, of which NAfME is a part, shares 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.
