Abstract
“Music, A Fine Art,” was the theme of the. Northwest Division Conference. Serious music education has always held uppermost and pursued the values and import of music, a fine art. With the additional stimulation of today's increased attention to this view, the Northwest Conference devoted four days to asking questions generated by the theme and to searching for answers. What is aesthetic education and how can it be realized through music? Does our instruction adapt to individual aesthetic endowment and recognize the effects of different kinds of art on students of various ages and types? Do we respect and transmit our musical heritage? Is it a part of the humanities in education? Do we follow the school's and community's attitude toward aesthetics or do we lead? A keynote address which opened and inspired our minds was the opening address by James L. Jarrett. We are pleased to share his thoughts with you. —FRANK L. D'ANDREA, president, MENC Northwest Division.
