" From its first appearance Goldberg magazine has been considered the most interesting publication of its kind in the field of early music.
Its basic features are its international dimension and orientation, its careful edition and the quality of its contents.
Goldberg Magazine is now a "collector's item" among music lovers, who treasure it for more than just its informative value.
Up to September 2003 Goldberg Magazine was published in bilingual English/Spanish and English/ French versions. As of September, the magazine will be published in three separate editions in English, French and Spanish.
Also, as of the year 2004 six issues will be published per year, instead of the four that have been published until now.
With the launch of goldbergweb.com - the early-music portal- our aim is to diversify communication channels with music lovers and the "protagonists" of early music.
We believe its presence on the Internet is fundamental in order to serve new target audiences and to further their knowledge of early music. " ... more about Goldberg

" AMG started out in 1991 in Big Rapids, MI. Our original mission was to create books to help consumers find the "best" music. But, as our databases grew, we saw they could be powerful tools for online retailers and entertainment destinations. We started licensing the All Music Guide in 1993. In 1994, we added the All Movie Guide. Our award-winning websites started in 1995 and helped us find even more licensing customers. In 1998 we created the All Game Guide to address that growing market. In order to accommodate the growth of our business, we moved to Ann Arbor, MI in 1999. Since then, our staff has tripled in size.
AMG licenses our entertainment content databases and technologies to a number of clients. We also maintain our websites, continue to produce new editions of our successful music guide series with Backbeat Books, and, in conjunction with Medalist Entertainment, we recently released the first group of CDs enhanced by our content.

" The Music-in-Education National Consortium (MIENC) represents a network of universities, arts organizations, school reform foundations, and partnering schools whose purpose is to bring about an evolution of music teaching and learning so that music can assume an essential role in higher education teacher preparation and public school reform.
MIENC collaborative practices encourage the creation of community-wide initiatives that engage artists and teachers in mutually complementary roles as artists, teachers, and scholars in schools -- a model with cross-disciplinary implications for moving the current rhetoric of music's evolving role in the school-community and teacher development programs from theory to practice.
The MIENC challenges and critiques the status quo of music education in this country. Too often music programs of the past have been limited to servicing only a small fraction of the public school population (...). In this era of educational scrutiny, currently articulated at the federal level in the No Child Left Behind legislation, music teachers, music researchers, and arts administrators can commit to a dialogue that legitimates the place of music at the table of school reform....
