Become a Volunteer Educator

Why?

You might be a singer, musician, community leader, parent, or guardian. You might be a retired educator who wants to stay connected with children in the classroom. You might simply love to sing and would like the opportunity to share this joy with children.

Becoming an MFM Volunteer Educator is a beneficial and rewarding experience. You will share your love of music with young children, be they your own, your families’, friends’, or children you don’t even know yet. You will be among a diverse community of volunteers from all walks of life who visit K - 3rd grade classrooms once each week throughout the school year. For half an hour a week you will sing, dance, listen to music, and play musical games and rhythm instruments with groups of children.

MFM Volunteer Educators are the cornerstone of our MFM Volunteer Educator Program. Without these dedicated volunteers, many classrooms would be without regularly scheduled music programs in the elementary grades.

MFM Training

We train adult volunteers in a 40-hour, comprehensive college-credited course offered from September through November each year. Topics covered in this hands-on training include basic music theory, classroom management, lesson planning, and age-appropriate songs, rhythm and movement activities.

You don’t need a musical or educational background to become an MFM Volunteer Educator. All you need is the ability to carry a tune, the will to learn, and a lot of enthusiasm.
