CMEA
inducts music prof into Hall of Fame The CMEA began the Hall of Fame in 1984; twenty years later Kornelson and four others join the list of 82 music teachers inducted for their dedication to excellence in teaching and service to the association. "It's an honor to be included in a list of my peers who have shown such high ideals and professional integrity in the music education profession," Kornelson said. Kornelson, who joined Metro in 1998, has taught vocal music for 20 years at every level from elementary school through college. While at the University of Northern Colorado, he received Downbeat magazine's award for Outstanding Performance by a College Jazz Choir. His nominating letter cited the influence Kornelson has had on many students who have chosen careers in music or music education. A past CMEA president, Kornelson is credited with reorganizing the association, including rewriting its by-laws. The CMEA is 60 years old and has more than 1,500 members who teach at the K-12 and collegiate levels.
