Welcome to the website of the Association of North American Waldorf Music Educators (ANAWME).
We are excited to bring you news, information, articles, resource
sharing and other important topics about Waldorf music and Waldorf
music teachers. Our hope is to make this a forum for networking with
each other and to support the colleagueship of Waldorf music educators.
We also hope that it is a source of inspiration!
Our goal is to be continually adding to and upgrading this site and its
contents as we receive news, articles, and other contributions, so
please send us photos, articles, news items, schedules of conferences
and workshops, repertoire suggestions, etc.
We would also love to receive your feedback about this site, so we
invite you to let us know what you would like more of, less of or any
other suggestions, questions, inspirations or comments. We want to make
this a significant resource for you as Waldorf music teachers or to
anyone who is interested in Waldorf music education.
ANAWME was founded in 2000 by a group of dedicated Waldorf music
colleagues who felt the need for an organizational body that provided a
framework for anyone interested in supporting, strengthening and
contributing to the growth and health of Waldorf music education. Some
have inquired about our name and have wondered if they are welcome to
be a part of this association. ANAWME and this website seems to provide
the resources and content that they are so earnestly looking for.
ANAWMEʼs original impulse started in North America, was founded by and
is primarily carried by those in North America - but does not exclude
those who are residing or teaching outside of North America. We
consistently get emails from people all over the world, who are
interested in what ANAWME is about, wondering how they can become a
part of this important work to connect with other Waldorf music
teachers and find resources so vital to their working. ANAWME welcomes
all music teachers, class teachers, early childhood teachers, parents
and anyone wishing to understand and support Waldorf music education in
all its aspects. We are dedicated to the development and support of
music education in Waldorf schools across North America and throughout
the world (see our vision and mission statements).
Whoever you are, you are warmly invited to join us as we explore Waldorf music education together!
