Abstract:

MENC believes that there are now opportunities beyond any we have known to enlist this kind of support. It is essential that we do so if we are to make music education part of the ongoing life of all students, be they in suburbs, rural counties, or inner cities.

A group of music educators, brainstorming at the end of a recent MENC public relations workshop, expressed it this way:

We need to sell music education instead of leaving music to sell itself.
We need to communicate so people can hear and understand us.
We need to examine our contacts and how we maintain them.
We need to speak up!

This document offers insights, ideas and practical suggestions to help music educators achieve these goals. (p. 27)
