About the Teaching Music History Conference
The Teaching Music History Conference (TMHC) organized by the AMS Pedagogy Study Group in cooperation with the AMS office, brings together people who are interested in teaching and learning about music history. The conference presents special opportunities to connect educators, researchers, and members of the public who are invested in music education across all grade levels. Held over two days, the Teaching Music History Conference includes special workshops and events intended to strengthen connections among music educators and to spotlight topics, resources, and approaches that strengthen music education. The 2025 conference will feature a special workshop held in partnership with the Music of Asian America Research Center on their resource “Asian America in 22 Songs.” This workshop, presented by Dr. Elaine Andres, will involve hands-on experience with this resource and attendees will walk-away with actionable lesson plans to use in their own classroom.
TIMELINE: The Teaching Music History Conference is typically held in June. The call for papers is released in January, with proposals due in March. For students and K-12 teachers who lack professional development support to attend TMHC, the Society offers K-12 Educator Grants in American Music. These grants provide $500 to support conference attendance as well as cohort activities and special programming to strengthen the conference experience.
