This fall the schools of 20 inspiring music teachers have been chosen to receive grants from Give a Note Foundation and 21st Century Fox as part of their latest collaboration to support music education. Students and others nominated these 20 outstanding educators for their inspirations in the lives of students.
(PRWEB) November 09, 2016
Leading into the new school year 21st Century Fox and Give a Note Foundation came together once again to present a new grant opportunity for 20 schools. The “MusicEd Idol” competition was announced last July, and schools were invited to submit nominations for “Music Education Idols” who inspired them to dream big and follow their passion for music.
Students, parents, and the general public nominated music educators by completing a short application and including a video testimonial describing how the music teacher inspired them to discover their creative potential. The stories were definitely inspiring. The influence of music educators around the nation made a positive impression on many students, and the bright light these teachers have been in their students’ lives was apparent.
Following is the list of the 20 “MusicEd Idols” whose school music programs will receive $1,000 grants courtesy of 21st Century Fox and Give a Note Foundation:

These stories cannot be told enough, and the Foundation encourages communities to support their local school’s music programs and the teachers who make them possible.”
Since 2011, 21st Century Fox businesses have donated more than $1 million to underfunded music programs in schools across the country, as part of the company’s commitment to support the next generation of artists and creators.
Of the 20 winning music educators, these five have been selected to attend the 2016 NAfME National In-Service Conference (November 10-13) in Grapevine, TX, as VIP guests and will take part in a panel discussion on how to help students reach their full potential:· Lynette Carr-Hicks (Uniondale, NY)
