A Short History of NAME


The history of NAME is long and distinguished and there are significant milestones by which the development of music education in the UK can be traced.
In 1996 the formation of The National Association of Music Educators resulted from an amalgamation of MANA (The Music Advisers National Association) and The Association for the Advancement of Music Education (AATEM).

In June 1942 and the war-torn gloom of that year, Dr Charles Hooper of Bradford, both Inspector of Schools for Bradford and also Music Adviser, arranged for the first annual conference of MANA to take place in London assisted by Cyril Winn, HM Staff Inspector for Music at the Board of Education. Eleven people attended along with representatives from the BBC. Items on the agenda in 1942 were: the musical training of teachers, instrumental playing in schools and where was the money to be found for developing music education.....what price progress 56 years on!

In an honours ceremony in the Grand Ballroom at Buckingham Palace on 16 February 2001, the Queen presented the Gold Medal to the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Rick Trainor, while the leader of the food security team, Professor Chris Haines, received the Prize Certificate from the Duke of Edinburgh. Also present were Lord Holme of Cheltenham (the University's Chancellor), Professor John Perfect, Mr John Conway and five of NRI's PhD students studying with the winning team. In the subsequent Reception in the Picture Gallery, the Queen made a special point of talking to our postgraduate students individually about their research, while the Duke was particularly interested in discussing the University's development of its latest campus at Greenwich Maritime in the former Royal Naval College.

OK enough, off to bed. I get carried away w/ fnding these little blurbs.....

It sounds like John Perfect went to Buckingham Palace a few years ago. Isn't Google wonderful?
