Abstract:

Every day, decisions are made about music study. Some are favorable, others are not; some are made by individuals, others by groups. Unfortunately, many decisions affecting music study are made under circumstances in which the best interests of music are far from the primary concern. For this reason if no other, we in the music community who hope to promote the study of music must understand more about the nature of decision making. Our strategies must be as varied as the people involved and reflect respect both for music as a discipline and for work as a means to individual fulfillment. The substance of our messages, not just the means for conveying them, must be foremost in our thinking. (p. 3)
