The NAMM Foundation recently launched its annual effort to recognize and support schools across the United States that promote music education as part of a complete and quality education for all children. The Best Communities for Music Education recognition program celebrates the positive impact of music education on schools, students and communities.

This year marks the Foundation's 13th annual Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) Survey, a nationwide search for communities whose programs exemplify a strong commitment to music education.

The 2012 survey began on Friday, Jan. 20 and will remain open through Friday, March 9, 2012. Each school district or community is allowed to fill out one survey, which must be completed by a school administrator and/or teacher who has access to school and district demographic and budgetary information. The survey can be completed by visiting the NAMM Foundation website at www.nammfoundation.org.
