Information from the Canadian Encyclopedia: Celebrating Our Past One of the reasons that Canadian music education has developed its current high standards and successful national and international profile is the contribution of committed and capable individuals who, across the years, have developed teacher education programs and nurtured the teachers of the future. In the early days, such individuals built the pedagogical and research foundations that earned music education recognition as a worthy partner with music and shaped the ways we interact with Schools of Music and Faculties of Education today. These music educators chose the content and refined the methods, determined the research agendas, and guided the profession through its growing pains. The best of them motivated hundreds of students to pursue artistic and pedagogical excellence and spread the enjoyment of music. It is important that we acknowledge our roots as music educators and honour those who devoted their lives to their vision of music education for Canadian youth. The CMEA is proud to celebrate the contributions of these music educators. Documents
