Krista Fanning, Band Director at Caddo Middle Magnet School in Shreveport Louisiana, joined Dr. Berger in a continuation of his series following the Grammy Educator of the Year Finalists. Fanning talks about being a finalist for the third year, in a row, and the impact music education has had on her life. Fanning details the background of her own career path calling herself an accidental educator.

The Music Educator Award was established to recognize current educators who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the field of music education. The winner receives a $10,000 honorarium and a $10,000 grant for his or her school, and is flown to Los Angeles to receive the award and attend the Grammy award ceremony. The ten finalists, as well as their schools, each receive a $1,000 honorarium.
