The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education

Membership Types & Levels

Two Ways to Strengthen Music Education

The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education brings together people who believe in the transformative power of music education.

Some members are music teachers who seek to grow professionally through learning, community, coaching, certification, and practical teaching resources. Others are individuals, families, alumni, organizations, and community members who wish to invest in the future of music education by supporting the mission of the Association.

Both play an essential role.

Teachers strengthen music education by serving students every day. Sponsors strengthen music education by helping make that work possible. Together, they form a community committed to helping more people build lifelong relationships with music.

Teacher Membership

For Music Educators

Teacher Membership is designed for music educators who desire ongoing professional growth, practical teaching support, and a community of fellow teachers committed to excellence in music education.

Members receive access to professional development, coaching, teaching resources, curriculum, certification opportunities through The Dennis Frayne Approach to Music Education, and a growing national network of music educators.

Teacher Membership is organized around four areas of growth:

Learn

Continue developing as both a teacher and a musician through professional learning, conferences, articles, videos, and certification opportunities.

Teach

Gain access to practical curriculum, teaching materials, arrangements, and student programs that can be used immediately with your students.

Connect

Become part of a supportive community of music teachers through coaching, discussion groups, networking, and shared learning.

Grow

Build a rewarding, sustainable career through mentoring, leadership development, and lifelong professional growth. Teacher Membership also provides a pathway to advanced participation through Endorsed Teacher and Teacher of Teachers membership.

Association Sponsor Membership

For Individuals, Families, Organizations, and Friends of Music Education

Not everyone teaches music professionally, yet many people believe deeply in its value.

Association Sponsor Membership provides an opportunity to invest in the future of music education by supporting the work of The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education.

Sponsors help make possible initiatives such as teacher development, educational publications, curriculum, student recognition through The Dennis Frayne Ascent, conferences, scholarships, research, and future educational resources.

Whether through an annual membership or a one-time contribution, every gift helps strengthen teachers, expand opportunities for students, and enrich communities through music.

Annual Sponsor Membership is offered through seven giving levels:

  • Friend

  • Patron

  • Sustainer

  • Benefactor

  • Guardian

  • Champion

  • Founders Circle

Every level represents an important investment in the future of music education, and every sponsor is valued.

One Mission. Two Ways to Participate.

Whether you become a Teacher Member or an Association Sponsor, you become part of a community dedicated to strengthening music education.

Teachers contribute their knowledge, experience, creativity, and service to students. Sponsors provide the encouragement and financial support that help expand programs, develop new resources, recognize achievement, and create opportunities for future generations.

Different roles. Shared purpose.

Together, we are helping music teachers grow, helping students become lifelong musicians, and helping communities experience the lasting benefits of music.

Because music education strengthens people.
