NAME: musical pathways

The National Association of Music Educators (N.A.M.E.) is undertaking
a survey in connection with its forthcoming National Conference on a
theme of 'Musical Pathways'. Anyone with an active interest in
music-making at any level is invited to answer a few questions about
their early influences and significant musical events in their lives.
Answers will be treated in confidence. We are hoping to get a wide
range of responses and an analysis and commentary will be included in
the forthcoming NAME book, to be launched at the conference.

Please take part on the survey by going to
www.name.org.uk/publications where you can either download the
questionnaire or complete it online.

vibrate.
