AMS Teaching Award

The AMS Teaching Award honors two exceptional pedagogical resources for music studies, including published articles, books (including textbooks), digital mediums, online materials, other scholarly endeavors, or non-traditional sources (e.g., white papers, curricula, blogs, etc.). These resources 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.

To be eligible for the AMS Teaching Award, nominations must meet the following criteria. Eligible works:

• Must be authored by a member of the AMS or a citizen/permanent resident of the United States or Canada
• Must have been published during the preceding two calendar years (referring to the copyright year as found in the front matter of the published work). Online and nontraditional sources must make clear the year of publication.
• Must be published in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish

Nominations must be received via the AMS award nomination form by 11:59 p.m. ET on the submission deadline. Self-nominations are welcome, as well as nominations from colleagues and publishers. Nominators are asked to provide a digital review copy of the work, if available.

A committee of four scholars will choose two award recipients from all eligible candidates. Award winners will receive a monetary prize, a certificate, and recognition at the annual meeting of the Society. An individual may receive the AMS Teaching Award only once. A work of scholarship may receive only one AMS award.
