AMIS remembers the incredibly talented educator, Roger Sams. For decades, Roger served the AMIS family and the wider music education community through his innovative pedagogy, focus on inclusive, holistic learning, and deep care for students and teachers. His 30+ years in the classroom, alongside extensive professional development and guest teaching experiences, had a profound impact on so many. Roger traveled to AMIS schools, presented at conferences, and provided accessible, relevant online learning. His most recent work as an AMIS consultant was a testament to this commitment.

Through his work with Soulwerk Sanctuary, he helped merge student education with educators’ own personal growth, reflection, and awareness. Above all, Roger is remembered for his joy, his kindness, and his dedication to helping teachers connect with their students and with themselves. As one AMIS teacher beautifully stated, he will be remembered for “his calmness and confidence and actively giving us permission to just be the beacon model of self-care for the school.” His legacy will continue to inspire and guide us.
