“You have all the opportunities of a large university, but with the support and sense of community associated with a smaller school.”

NAfME Collegiate

The National Associate for Music Education (NAfME) is designed to:

  • Create programs and activities to enrich our musical culture
  • Ensure every student will have access to a balanced, comprehensive, and high-quality program of music instruction
  • Improve the quality of teaching, research and scholarship in music
  • Involve every person of all ages in learning music
  • Foster the utilization of the most effective pre-service and in-service preparation of music teachers.

The University of Colorado NAfME Collegiate chapter is a group of dedicated music education students, musicians, and non-musicians who are furthering the goals of NAfME on a local level. We provide resources to CU students and local music education programs such as guest speakers, student volunteers, access to the conferences such as the annual CMEA (Colorado Music Educator’s Association) Clinic and Conference in Colorado Springs, and the Midwest Clinic in Chicago, as well as many other programs and services.

Membership in the University of Colorado NAfME Collegiate chapter is open to any current student (undergraduate or graduate) at the University of Colorado. Students can join the chapter at any point in the academic year by completing the membership form and paying the associated annual dues. Membership in the chapter also includes membership in CMEA (the Colorado Music Educators Association) and NAfME (the National Associate for Music Education).
