tm The 21st Century Fox Give a Note Grants were created to honor the legacy of FOX’s AMERICAN IDOL, the cultural phenomenon that created some of music’s biggest stars and inspired millions of young people to participate in school music programs across the country. We want you to nominate your “MusicEd Idol” – a music teacher who inspired you to reach further, dig deeper, and achieve on a higher level! Submit a video nomination and your “MusicEd Idol” could win a grant for his/her school music program for $1000. Twenty school programs will receive grants and five teachers will be selected to attend the 2016 NAfME National In-Service Conference (November 10-13) in Grapevine, TX. Nominees must be presently teaching grades PK – 12 (pre-kindergarten through high school) in an accredited school. Ready to get started? It’s easy: • • • • • • Create a short video (30 sec.) telling us about your MusicEd Idol and why he or she deserves to win a MusicEd Idol grant. Get creative in your video!
