The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) - "the only association that addresses all aspects of music education" - offers a number of resources for K-12 music teachers. Founded in 1907, NAfME has historically played a key role in the establishment of music education programs in the United States. More recently, the association has been instrumental in developing the National Standards for Arts Education. On this website, visitors can learn more about the association's history and current role in public advocacy for music education. In addition, instructors can assess a number of resources, including lesson plans and journal articles, in the My Classroom portion of this website. While visitors will need a paid membership to explore the My Music Class library of lesson plans, a handful of lesson plans are offered free of charge to the general public. As of this Feburary write-up, the site offers four complete lesson plans (including lessons for grade levels K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) related to the intersections of Langston Hughes's poetry and blues music. These lessons can be found in the Black History Month Section. In addition, instructors will find a wealth of free resources about Jazz Music in the Jazz Appreciation Month section.
