Membership
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. (Access to purchase the complete Presto! It’s Music Magic curriculum is available exclusively to Teacher Members of the Association, together with professional guidance and support.)
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.
Sponsor support helps fund the Association’s work, including teacher development, publications and educational resources, the Dennis Frayne Ascent, conferences and events, scholarships, research, and future initiatives.
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
Visionary Circle
Every level represents an important investment in the future of music education, and every sponsor is valued.

One Mission. Two Ways to Participate.
The Dennis Frayne Association for Music Education brings together music teachers and people who want to support the work of music education.
Teacher Members participate through professional learning, community, coaching, certification opportunities, curriculum, and practical teaching resources. Association Sponsor Members support the Association’s educational work through annual membership or one-time financial support.
These are different forms of participation within the same organization, each contributing to the Association’s mission of strengthening music education.

The Price-for-Life Guarantee protects eligible recurring Teacher Membership and advanced membership rates for members who maintain continuous participation.
When a teacher first joins the Association, the annual and five-year Teacher Membership rates then in effect become that member’s protected Teacher Membership rates.
