WMEA & NAfME Virtual Learning Resources

WMEA has recently launched a new distance-learning platform called “WMEA Online Teaching Project”.  This project provides an opportunity for music teachers to support one another through the generation of shareable plans (two-week, self-contained units) and resources for use in PreK-12 classrooms in Wisconsin.

NAfME Societies and Councils is providing a list of resources from their own original teaching experiences, music educators in their school districts, universities, communities, peers, or other trusted sources. We thank them for their assistance and commitment to NAfME members as we all pull together to keep educating and making music.
