Teaching Award
Ends on
Nomination Deadline: 11:59pm EDT, 1 April 2025
Overview and Eligibility:
The AMS Teaching Award will honor an exceptional pedagogical resource for musicology by an AMS member or a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States published during the previous two years (2023 or 2024). Publication year may refer to the copyright year as found on the copyright page of the book or journal; online and non-traditional sources must make clear the year of publication. By “resource” is meant a published article, book (including textbook), digital medium, online material, other scholarly endeavor, or non-traditional source (e.g. white paper, curriculum, blog, etc.). This resource should best exemplify the highest qualities of originality, theory, application, and communication for teaching and pedagogy in any of the various fields of music as a branch of learning and scholarship.
The committee, consisting of three scholars, will choose a single winner from among all of the candidates. The winner receives a monetary prize and a certificate, as well as recognition at the Annual Meeting of the Society. An individual may receive the Teaching Award only once. A work of scholarship may receive only one AMS award.
Anyone may submit a nomination. Nominations, including self-nominations, must be submitted by 15 April 2025. Additionally, the award committee may solicit the curriculum vitae of each nominee.
