Dr. Derrick Fox created the Professional Choral Collective during the summer of 2020 to provide an online platform for choral directors to create and share Future Teaching Practices (FTPs) for teaching choral music during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Dr. Fox hosts online brainstorming work sessions that have been attended by teachers from around the US and Canada. The Professional Choral Collective currently has 415 members from around North America

He has recently partnered with the Country Music Association Foundation to use his Professional Choral Collective model to create the National Unified Voice for Music Education (UVME) platform for instrumental and general music educators.
