Announcement in 1957

Music Journal Annual, as a compilation of information of value to music educators and students of music education, as well as suppliers of the field, is this 1957 Annual. Music Journal is now combined with the Educational Music Magazine, for more than three decades a periodical of stature and prestige, established and published by the Educational Music Bureau of Chicago. It is worthy of note that the editors and publishers of the merged Music Journal and Educational Music Magazine are carrying on and extending one of the distinctive services for which the EMM and its former publisher, Educational Music Bureau, are widely regarded.

This is the cataloguing and dissemination of information regarding all worthy available music education materials. The Annual gives graded listings of some 5,000 instrumental and vocal music titles, some 900 record albums, a selection of more than 150 books on music, besides many articles and special features including pictures and biographical sketches of forty contemporary composers. And of course advertisements galore representing most of the important publishers and manufacturers of the period.

Price of the book is $3.00-and worth it. To subscribers to the Music Journal and EMM combination, new or renewals ($3.00), the Annual is available for $1.00. Address: Music Journal-Educational Music Magazine, Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania."
