The 2005 edition of the ISM’s
Register of Musicians in Education has recently been published. It includes
ISM members who belong to the Society’s Specialist Section for Musicians in
Education.
This classified directory, cross-referenced with an alphabetical index, gives
access to a wide range of specialists in pre-school, primary and secondary
education; specialist music and choir schools; continuing further and higher
education; instrumental teaching in all sectors; music therapy; establishments
for special learning needs; advisory and inspection services; public
examinations; educational projects; and freelance consultancies.
An appendix of professional information includes ISM recommended fees for
visiting instrumental teachers in schools; the text of the inaugural address
made by the Warden of the Section, at the ISM’s annual conference; and a list of
the ISM’s advice and information sheets relevant to musicians in education.
ISM Chief Executive, Neil Hoyle, said:
‘The ISM Register of
Musicians in Education provides a unique source of information about its members
who work in every sphere of music education. It brings them together in one
directory that can also be readily searched online.’
A version of the register, updated on a weekly basis and searchable by category
and location, is available on the ISM website – www.ism.org. The 2005 paper
version is available (price £12) from the ISM, 10 Stratford Place, London, W1C
