Episode 7: Music education is a right - How to advocate for music education with Naomi Fernandez

This month we had the pleasure of speaking with Naomi Fernandez, Associate Director of Curriculum and Professional Development at ETM, to discuss the importance and practice of advocating for music education in our schools. Naomi is a veteran music educator who brings to ETM an unmatched level of experience teaching in the classroom, building K-12 music programs, developing culturally responsive curriculum and teacher training, and supporting early career music educators. Here she speaks about the practical ways educators can advocate for a robust and supported music program at their schools, and why she believes music education is a right for every child.
