Music Industry,Right Hand of Music Education

THE AUTHOR, a musician and former school music supervisor, now vice-president of Associated Music Publishers, Inc., is president of the Music Industry Council of the Music Educators National Conference. The title for his article was supplied by the editors who, after reading Mr. Grasso's manuscript, took responsibility for retiring the title he had written to the flag line. The article is more than “background and history.” It expresses the spirit of the Music Educators National Conference, whose 1907 founders included school music pioneers of the ilk typified by the Music Industry Council leaders in the year 1956.
