MayDay Group

The MayDay Group (MDG) is an international think-tank of music educators, and the main alternative to NAfME since its founding in the 1990s.[1] Founded in 1993 by Thomas A. Regelski and J. Terry Gates,[2] MDG publishes two peer-reviewed journals, Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, and TOPICS for Music Education Praxis, and have held yearly colloquia since 1993.[3] MDG colloquia are based on the Action Ideals, provoking music educators to further critical thought.[4]
