Lindsay Ell has been named the next Artist Ambassador to join the Unified Voices for Music Education (UVfME) initiative in conjuction with the CMA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Country Music Association (CMA). Lindsay is the third artist to join the initiative following Jimmie Allen and Ashley McBryde.
Lindsay said, “Music education was such an important part of my childhood. Growing up I learned to lean into music as an outlet thanks to the guidance and encouragement of some truly amazing teachers. Music is an incredible connector that helps us process our emotions, which is incredibly important given the current state of the world and the weight we are all feeling. Being able to teach the power of music to students in school at an early age is a gift that I believe will serve them in so many ways for the rest of their lives . . . “
The CMA Foundation launched UVfME last July in response to a need for resources, stemming from COVID-19’s impact on music education. The online collective serves as a place where music educators can interface through lesson ideas and other creative methods, as they find innovative ways to teach and connect with students during this challenging school year.
