The Michiana Outstanding Music Educator Awards are sponsored by Quinlan & Fabish Music Company.

Like the Chicagoland Outstanding Music Educator awards which were were established in 1989, the Michiana Outstanding Music Educator Awards are a tribute to professional music educators from the area. Each year we solicit nominations from the readership of our newsletter, Quarter Notes. Once collected they are sent to our selection committee for selection.  Each year, our selection committee will grow as previous recipients join the committee.
