CSO MUSIC EDUCATOR AWARDS
Established in 1997, the Columbus Symphony’s Music Educator Awards recognize those individuals who instill and inspire a love of music in the children and adults of central Ohio. The purpose of these annual awards is to promote a greater understanding of and appreciation for music education, as well as to honor those individuals who are making a real difference in our community through their dedication to music education. One award is honored in each of the following categories:

* Secondary - General Music, Chorus, or Instrumental educators who primarily work with grades 7-12.
* Private/Community - Any professional working within a community-based musical organization or private studio-based educators.
* Lifetime Achievement - Educators that have made significant contributions to music education and to the students of Central Ohio. Must have at least 10 years of teaching or experience to be considered.
Each Music Educator Award winner receives a monetary grant to be spent at their direction for a broad range of music education endeavors, such as purchasing music, instrument repair, or professional development classes for the educator. The nomination process takes place each year from January-February. For additional information, please call (614) 221-4916.
