Trisha Yearwood will join the CMA Foundation as they host a special online conversation on Tuesday (June 8th) during the annual National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) Advocacy Institute. Trisha will be on hand to discuss the importance of music education.
She said, “My mom was a third-grade teacher, so I’ve always understood the importance of a good education. She and my dad also encouraged me to participate in talent shows and music events held by my school, church, and community. It was that early exposure to music, along with support from my parents and friends, that made me into who I am. I’m an advocate for music education today because I want every child in our country to have the same opportunities I did.”
The CMA Foundation’s mission is to provide students with equitable access to music education and ensure music educators are provided the resources they need to create a thriving music program.
