OSWEGO COUNTY – The NAMM Foundation and University of Kansas have recognized 15 Central New York school districts that maintained their commitment to music education during the pandemic, including Oswego County’s own Mexico Academy and Central School District and Phoenix Central School District.
“Music education changed perhaps more than any other school subject when learning went virtual” is how the nationally-heard NPR program 1A began a broadcast last month. During the pandemic, maintaining a sense of “community” in New York music programs has been challenging, yet dedicated and creative music teachers, staff administrators and students, supported by a wider community, have succeeded in reinventing music instruction.

This is the 11th consecutive year the Ossining School District has been named a Best Community for Music Education. (National Association of Music Merchants)
For the 11th consecutive year, the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation has recognized the Ossining School District as a Best Community for Music Education.
Ossining is one of 754 school districts in 42 states that the organization commended for their support of music education as part of a well-rounded education for all children, and for the outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders.
Providing music education has been even more challenging with school buildings closed or open on a more limited basis and with more safety precautions necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
