The Nordic Network for Music Education (NNME) is a state-sponsored organization that supports professionalization of music teacher education across eight countries in Northern Europe. It includes the 18 institutions in the Nordic and Baltic states that award professional postgraduate (Master) degrees in the specialized field of music education.

Network activities

Sponsored by the Nordplus program of the Nordic Council of Ministers, for over 20 years the NNME has annually offered an intensive joint Master course for ECTS credits, and supported 'mobility' exchange of music lecturers and Master students across the member institutions, enabling the sharing of research-based knowledge in this field. Founded by Torunn Bakken Hauge, since 2018 it is managed by David Hebert at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. NNME multi-year projects have focused on several themes over the years: democratic approaches, sustainability of music, universality of music, and digitization of heritage. The NNME has also produced a book, and various online resources related to musical heritage and music teaching in the Nordic-Baltic Eight nations.

International collaboration

Notable keynote speakers for NNME intensive courses have included Alexandra Kertz-Welzel, Even Ruud, Sandra Trehub, Lucy Green, Thomas Adam Regelski, Randall Allsup, David J. Hargreaves, Marie McCarthy, Lauri Vakeva, Patrick Schmidt, Øyvind Varkøy, Catherine Grant, Bo-wah Leung, Emily Achieng’ Akuno, Juniper Hill, Mara Marnauza, Henrik Frisk, Stefan Östersjö, and Alex Ruthmann.
