NFHS Online Courses for Music Educators

The National Federation of State High Schools Associations (NFHS) has created numerous courses specifically designed for or that are relevant to music educators, administrators, parents, and/or students and are available through the NFHSLearn.com website.  The Iowa High School Music Association (IHSMA) as a member of the NFHS has access to these materials and as such they are available for use by our member school’s administrators, teachers, parents, and students.  Those interested in taking a course will need to register with the NFHSLearn.com website and then use the search function under the “Courses” tab to find the desired course.  Most courses are offered free of charge but some courses do have a nominal fee associated with them.
