NAMM Foundation - Best Communities for Music Education
Congratulations Armada Music Department! For the fifth year, Armada Area Schools has been selected by the NAMM Foundation as one of the 2023 Best Communities for Music Education in the United States! We were one of 830 school districts around the country, and one of only 16 school districts in Michigan to receive this distinction in 2023. The NAMM Foundation uses factors such as the percentage of participation in music classes in all grade levels K-12, availability of Band, Choir, Orchestra, and General Music offerings to all students in grades K-12, qualifications of the music teachers within a school district, statewide festival participation and success, collaboration between music and other arts disciplines, involvement of the music program within community events.
