Charge
The Council on Music Education assists the Board of Directors and the Society to identify and analyze issues of professional concern, particularly those that lead to the fostering and enacting of systemic change in response to oppressions entrenched in the field. Further, the Council assists the College Music Society in accomplishing this goal by developing projects, programs, and publications that engage with those issues.

The specific focus of this initiative will be music teacher education, framed as a response to the ongoing national teacher shortage. While music education majors receive direct pedagogical training within their designated music education coursework, their preparation extends far beyond that sequence. Students learn how to teach history, theory, composition, performance (through ensembles and lessons), and other musical areas from faculty across the entire School of Music.
