Statement of Purpose

The American Music in American Schools and Colleges Interest Group of The Sonneck Society for American Music is dedicated to promoting the study of American Music at all levels of the educational process. The group acts as a clearing house for ideas on how to include American music in the curriculum, resources for use in classes, and an active voice in lobbying for official adoption of standards mandating the teaching of American music.
