One of our band directors, Ms. Barbra Baker, has been nominated for the Grammy’s Music Educator Award. In order to be nominated, you must either nominate yourself or have a student or administrator nominate you, and the nominee must fill out an application. As of now, Ms. Baker has sent in her application.
The nominees are evaluated on the following criteria: the difference they’ve made in students’ life, and their contribution to music education and their community.
According to ‘Grammy in the Schools’, “We’ll select 10 finalists including one winner each year to be recognized for their remarkable impact. The winner will be flown to Los Angeles to accept the Award and attend the GRAMMYs, plus pick up a $10,000 honorarium. All finalists will receive a $1,000 honorarium as well.”
