Singing in Canadian Schools: COVID-19 Impact Survey

Along with our colleagues at Choral Canada, the Canadian Music Educators’ Association, the Coalition for Music Education, and the Kodály Society of Canada, we are pleased to share the preliminary results from the Singing in Canadian Schools: COVID-19 Impact Survey (2021). These results contain information relevant to leaders of and decision-makers for K-12 music programs as we look ahead to 2021-2022.
The Singing in Canadian Schools: COVID-19 Impact Survey reports on the experiences of nearly 1,000 Canadian music educators during the COVID-19 pandemic. Comprehensive survey results such as these hold the potential to guide policy and practice related to singing in schools in the upcoming year. Final report to follow.
