Strengthening the Profession, Inspiring the Next Generation of Music Teachers, and Transforming the Future of Music Education

Teaching Music, October 2025

This four-part special edition of Teaching Music Magazine focuses on “Strengthening the Profession, Inspiring the Next Generation of Music Teachers, and Transforming the Future of Music Education” and features articles from the members of the NAfME Music Teacher Profession Advisory Committee (MTPAC). As MTPAC Co-Chairs Carlos R. Abril and Cecil Adderley (NAfME President) write, “Across the United States, schools and districts are confronting an increasingly familiar scenario: They need visionary, well-prepared music teachers, yet too few are entering the profession, and too many are leaving it. This special issue of Teaching Music responds to that challenge.”
