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

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.
