Tri-M® Music Honor Society

What is Tri-M®?

The Tri-M® Music Honor Society is a program of NAfME (the National Association for Music Education), which focuses on creating future leaders in music education and music advocacy. Tri-M® is the only national honor society for student musicians in grades 6-12.

Tri-M® seeks to:

• Advocate for the importance and value of music education in shaping the leaders of tomorrow

• Highlight the school's music program and establish its credibility within the surrounding community

• Positively impact the community through public performances and service projects

• Motivate students to take on leadership roles and make a difference in their community

There are currently over 2,100 chapters of Tri-M®, which span across 50 U.S. states and involve more than 84,000 students. Members contribute more than 750,000 service hours in their local communities.
