Music Educators Journal

The Author is supervisor of music, State Department of Education, Richmond, Virginia; director of the annual Virginia Music Camp; chairman, MENC National Council of State Supervisors of Music.

Mr. Hesch outlines valuable pointers for individuals planning to or just embarking upon a career in music education. As the title implies, there are many necessary qualifications for music educators other than a knowledge of music. If an awareness of these qualifications is known upon entering the profession, a music educator can surely exnect a more rewarding career both in point of service to the community and to himself.

How a skilled music consultant brought the joy of participation in music to teachers, pupils, and parents is told here by a school principal. Mr. Bolz was principal of the Paddison School, Norwalk, California at the time this article was written and first appeared in the November 1959 issue of “Educational Leadership,” Journal of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development of the National Education Association. He has since become principal of the Sparks Intermediate School, La Puenta, California, and his article is reprinted with permission from “Educational Leadership.”
