At NAMM 2026, Athan Billias, from The MIDI Association, Bob De La Pena for SAE Mexico, Professor Jennifer Amaya from Riverside City College, Gillian Demarais from TI:ME (Technology In Music Education in the US) and TiME UK (a separate Technology In Music Education organization in the UK) discussed how important MIDI is in modern music education.
Our goal is to raise awareness about MIDI in education at schools (secondary, college and university, and pro schools), MIDI Musical Instrument manufacturers and Dealers who sell MIDI products.
SAE Mexico, The NAMM MIDI Fund and The MIDI Association
SAE Mexico has been selected to create a MIDI In Music Education curriculum in both English and Spanish by the MIDI Association.
SAE Mexico have a unique relationship with Coursera, the massive open online course provider so the curriculum and certification will be available at no charge.
All of the materials created for The MIDI In Music Education curriculum will also be provided under a Creative Common license.
This means that Universities, Schools, Dealers and digital musical instrument manufacturers can include portions of the MIDI Association materials without any concerns about copyrights or licenses by just a simple Creative Commons attribution.
