Re: MWI Promotional Packets Are In Preparation Now For:
-- MENC National Convention & New Hampshire All-State Choir
Festival
As you may know, MUSIC WORKSHOPS INTERNATIONAL (MWI) prepares hundreds of
packets each month for free distribution at local, state and national choral
reading sessions and music education events for band,orchestra, general music
and choir directors. Our goal is to “connect” directors needs with the music
industry. We keep music samples & information from many, many music businesses
on hand at any one time. We also publish the music ed. resource guide, ALL
THINGS MUSICAL given free to 50,000 music teachers.
LET MWI PROMOTE YOUR MATERIALS AT THESE TWO UPCOMING EVENTS!
RESERVE YOUR SPACE TODAY! - TOLL FREE 1-888-803-6287
1. MENC National Convention (April 15-18, 1998 - Phoenix, AZ) - Packets
200 SPECIAL CHORAL & 200 INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PACKETS will be distributed to
Music Education Leaders from the MWI Booth #536 at the national convention.
MWI has purchased a full page ad in the convention program announcing the
availability of these packets. Dave Bowden and I will personally distribute
packets only to Music Supervisors, Department Heads, Music Chairpersons, and
Leading Educators. Your materials will receive excellent exposure to the real
decision makers in music education! We invite you to supply materials for the
choral and/or instrumental packets.
2. New Hampshire All-State Choir Festival -Reading Session Packets
100 CHORAL READING SESSION PACKETS are being prepared for this event to be
held in early April. This will be a LIVE READING SESSION and all pieces will
be read. The event coordinator/reading session leader is: Robert Swift,
Chairman and Professor of Music at Plymouth State College, Plymouth, NH. He is
a dynamic conductor and well-organized. We prepared a Reading Session for them
in 1995 that was extremely well-received - they want to do it again! You may
send Choral Copies as well as flyers, brochures, catalogs for this session
packet. They would like to read music for MIXED VOICES - sacred, secular,
accompanied and a cappella.
