A NAfME Town Hall on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Music Education: What It Is and Why It Won’t Replace You
May 20, 2024
8:00 pm – 9:15 pm (ET)
Use of AI is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, with growing complexity, impacting every field and profession, and all levels and content areas of music education. Join NAfME elected leaders and members of NAfME’s AI Task Force for an interactive town hall focused on AI and music education. Meet members of the AI Task Force and learn from their insights on AI and music education, what AI is, and why it won’t replace you.
This town hall will include a panel discussion, a short presentation on why AI won’t replace you, and a breakout room discussion opportunity facilitated by AI Task Force members. Breakout discussion sessions will focus on AI and music education for different levels, including higher education (and administration), collegiate, secondary school, and elementary school.
NAfME presents this live virtual event at no charge to all as a service to the music education profession. To register, you must enter your NAfME member information or create a nonmember account. After registering, check your email for instructions. A recording of this program will be available to all registrants for one week following the live event.

WEBINAR: From Folk Song to Choral Literature
2024-04-13 10:00 - 12:00 | NC
Participants will learn about the evolution of Latin American music with Dr. Diana V. Sáez, the Director of Choral Activities at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland. The music of Latin America is the product of many cultures mostly Native American, Spanish, and African. When the elements of these cultures combined, they created new forms of music such as cumbia, merengue and salsa. In this fun and interactive session, we will listen, sing, and learn some of these songs arranged for choirs of all levels.
Apr 13, 2024 10:00 AM

Praxis II Review Weekend at Campbell University
2024-03-22 - 2024-03-23 | Campbell University, 143 Main Street, Buies Creek, NC, 27506
OPEN TO ALL
Ran Whitley offers a Praxis II review weekend on Friday, March 22, 4:00-9:000 PM and Saturday, March 23, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM at Campbell University.
Whitley took the test himself and he was surprised at the amount of material not covered by an undergraduate music education degree. This review addresses those areas. He says, “It has been very helpful getting our students, as well as others, over the bar.”
For more details, contact Ran Whitley at whitley@campbell.edu.
Did you know TeachNC provides reimbursements for licensing exam costs and study materials? Requests can be submitted at https://ontch.org/TeacherTestPrep.
