The mission of the Nassau Music Educators Association is to enrich school music programs by nurturing student musicianship and empowering our members through collaboration and professional development.

https://t.co/JQRhzTUz94 Updated guidance from @HealthNYGov now recommends 6’ distance for singing & playing wind instruments! Hopefully this can salvage many of our music programs!!!

I've been an advocate for getting kids back in the classroom, and new CDC guidance is a step in the right direction to fully reopen schools.

While districts may choose to have stricter protocols, Nassau DOH advises that schools may follow updated CDC guidance for distancing.

Hoping more districts will be able to salvage music programs as we return to in-person learning! Students need music, & we need to support the transition to 6’! #NYMusicmatterstoo

Students need music! Science-based evidence supports the move from 12’ to 6’. https://t.co/JLZifmIhRC We need to sustain and rebuild our music programs & need your support! #NYMusicMatterstoo #NYMIOSM21 @HealthNYGov @NassauExecutive

Beautiful story by my cousin @JordanSalama19. How nice it would be to live in a place of “pluralism and coexistence”. Hopefully we can return to this one day...

For @nytopinion, I wrote about food, family history, and my friendship with an old Iraqi man named Monther.

So proud of my cousin @JordanSalama19 for writing this poignant piece for National Geographic!

In "A Letter to My Generation," my essay for this November's stunning special issue of @NatGeoMag, I wrote about what it's like to be a young adult during this scary year of loss and upheaval...
