Music Education Study in Canada
The Coalition for Music Education is ready to begin the last phase of its National Study: A 2020 Landscape of Music Education in Canada, and the survey is now ready for music educators and administrators across the country to complete. They want to hear from as many as possible and are seeking the help of our membership. It is critical that the final report accurately reflects all regions of the country, so the Alberta Band Association is helping the Coalition in their endeavors. Links to the English and French surveys that can be found on the Coalition for Music Education website under the “Research” tab
