We Want Your Articles!

Do you know someone in our state who is doing something interesting and innovative in the classroom? Are you interested in research? Our newly-updated NDMEJ is a great place to introduce research, innovative music technology, best teaching practices, and all things music education. Consider submitting an article yourself, or contacting a fellow teacher and asking them to submit an essay. We'd love to hear from you!
