Louisiana teacher advances to Grammy Music Educator Award semifinals

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Alyson Humphrey Smith, a music teacher at A.C. Steere Elementary School, has been announced as one of the semifinalists for the 2026 Grammy Music Educator Award.

From more than two thousand initial nominations, Smith joins 24 other teachers for the chance of receiving a $10,000 grant for themselves along with an additional $10,000 grant for their school. She says it’s not about the money. It’s about her passion for teaching music.

“I don’t teach for awards. I don’t teach for recognition. I don’t teach for anything except instilling and growing a love of music and a passion for it in my students. If you know nothing else about me, please know that I am incredibly passionate about music education,” Smith says.

The nine finalists will be announced in November, and the winner will be recognized at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
