William Bennett, director of choirs at Cane Bay High, has been selected as a quarterfinalist for the 2023 Music Educator Award – a second time for Bennett.

A total of 207 music teachers from 180 cities have been announced as quarterfinalists for the 2023 Music Educator Award, presented by the Recording Academy and GRAMMY Museum. A total of nearly 1,500 initial nominations were submitted.

The Music Educator Award was established to recognize current educators — kindergarten through college, public and private schools — who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the field of music education and who demonstrate a commitment to the broader cause of maintaining music education in the schools. The recipient will be recognized during GRAMMY Week 2023, which takes place ahead of the 2023 GRAMMYs, officially known as the 65th GRAMMY Awards.

Each year, one recipient is selected from 10 finalists and recognized for their remarkable impact on students' lives. The 10th annual honoree will be flown to Los Angeles to attend the 65th GRAMMY Awards and a range of GRAMMY Week events. The nine additional finalists will receive a $1,000 honorarium, and the schools of all 10 finalists will receive matching grants.

Fifteen semifinalists will receive a $500 honorarium with matching school grants. The matching grants provided to the schools are made possible by the generosity and support of the GRAMMY Museum’s Education Champion, Ford Motor Company Fund. In addition, the American Choral Directors Association, National Association for Music Education, NAMM Foundation, and National Education Association support this program through outreach to their constituencies.

Bennett was previously named a finalist in 2015, and said making the first cut as a quarterfinalist is the hardest part because officials narrow their search down to roughly 200 teachers out of a pool of more than 1,000.

“I always say becoming a quarterfinalist is like winning the lottery,” he said, adding, “It’s an incredibly humbling and a huge honor to be selected as a quarterfinalist.”

Quarterfinalists are expected to submit videos showing them teaching and making an impact within their community. Once those videos are submitted, it’s kind of a waiting game; Bennett said semifinalists are usually announced sometime in the fall and then finalists will be announced in December.

Bennett has served at Cane Bay High ever since the school opened. While he is excited to have been named a quarterfinalist, he said the recognition is more reflective of the work by his students.

“As a figurehead, I’m oftentimes the one who gets the recognition for the work they do…(but) without them, I’m nothing,” he said, adding, “This is not an award for me so much as it is for us a program and the work that we do.”

The Music Educator Award is open to current U.S. music teachers, and anyone can nominate a teacher — students, parents, friends, colleagues, community members, school deans, and administrators. Teachers are also able to nominate themselves, and nominated teachers are notified and invited to fill out an application.
