Mettert quarterfinalist for Grammy
June 10, 2020
East Noble choral director Chris Mettert received word that he is a quarterfinalist for the 2021 Grammy Music Educator Award. Yes folks, that means one of our own members of Knight Nation could win a Grammy just like Billie Eilish and Lizzo.
There were 2,000 teachers nominated for the award but 216 who made it to the quarterfinals. Mettert is alongside 5 other teachers from Indiana.
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 program continues to narrow down finalists until there are 10. The top 10 will receive $1,000 and one will be flown to Los Angeles for the Grammy Award ceremony.
