Resources and Organizations
We continue to work to bring helpful resources to students at UNC through our events, but we also encourage everyone to look into all of the other organizations who can provide you with a lot of helpful tools as you start our journey as a music educator. Here is a list of some resources, including resources from our previous events, and some organizations that we encourage you to look into becoming members of to gain access to endless resources.
