100 years ago today...
A group of music educators gathered starting the process that would lead to the creation of what today is MENC: The National Association for Music Education
As the music supervisor in Keokuk, Iowa, Philip Cady Hayden put out a call to music supervisors to gather together to discuss general problems and present papers, and 104 came out to attend. Three days of discussion and performances were held in the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Keokuk, including a demonstration clinic presented by Hayden himself on the rhythm techniques he had developed.
