Music allows us to celebrate and preserve our cultural heritages, and also to explore the realms of expression, imagination, and creation resulting in new knowledge. Therefore, every individual should be guaranteed the opportunity to learn music and to share in musical experiences. The mission of MENC: The National Association for Music Education is to advance music education by encouraging the study and making of music by all.

AMC and MENC work together on a variety of initiatives, including lobbying on behalf of music education in our nation’s capital, the annual “Best 100 Communities for Music Education” survey, “Music In Our Schools Month” each March, creating and distributing informative public service announcements (PSAs) and more.
