From the New York Times:
The Grammy Awards are adding a new honor for music teachers. Neil Portnow, the president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, announced the new award for music educators, which will be presented for the first time next year. He made the announcement on Thursday evening at an event for the Grammy Foundation’s Music Preservation Project at the Saban Theater in Los Angeles. “Music education is perhaps the most vital part of the Grammy Foundation’s mission,” he said. The Grammy Awards, on Sunday, will also have a short video segment honoring music teachers and urging people to nominate educators. Teachers from all levels — from kindergarten through college — will be eligible for the award, which will be presented at a special ceremony the day before the Grammy broadcast next year.
