Music Achievement Council

www.musicachievementcouncil.org

The Music Achievement Council was formed in 1983 for the express purpose of promoting instrumental music in our schools. The council consists of representatives from three music organizations - NASMD, NABIM and NAMM. It produces non-commercial materials for use by band and orchestra directors to help improve the recruiting and retention of instrumental music students. Check out these links on their site for valuable advocacy tools:

• Recruiting tools such as The First Performance Kit.
• Downloadable pdf’s for band directors, including Choosing to Teach, Tips for Success, Focusing On The Classroom (National Standards, recruiting, retention), The Business of School (administrators, music retailers, fiscal procedures and more), Telling the Story (advocacy, communications, etc.), Supporting Music Education (important info for a successful music program).
