Elmore Magazine is Saving American Music, One Child at a Time
New York City, NY (PRWeb) February 12, 2007 -- Elmore Magazine recently announced its "Saving American Music in Schools" program in an effort to preserve American roots music, which is embraced the world over and is the heartbeat of American culture.
Publisher Suzanne Cadgene and Executive Director Arnie Goodman know that introducing young people to the origins of modern music ensures that the music of yesterday will continue to influence music for generations to come.
Covering a wide spectrum of American roots music, Elmore's informed and articulately written features, editorials and reviews, and its brilliant color photographs by award winning photographers, taps the passions, joys and pains of American roots music, while celebrating the brilliance of the artists responsible for creating it.
"We feel by sharing the history of American music with young adults, they'll be inspired to recognize and appreciate the origins of today's music - and that's important, not only to the survival of the musical genre, but to our culture," says Cadgene.
Elmore Magazine, entering its third year in print, is born of the passions of Cadgene, a writer, founding editor of Blues News (the publishing arm of the New York Blues Society), former CEO of two other magazines and Goodman, a nationally respected record-collection curator, music producer and music historian.
Elmore Magazine is ideal for all readers from junior high school level to adult, and can help students relate to their teachers and vice versa.
A bill passed by the 100th U.S Congress and U.S. Senate to preserve American Music stated: "it is now in the best interest of the national welfare and all of our citizens to preserve and celebrate this unique art form," further citing, it is "a rare and valuable national American treasure to which we should devote our attention, support and resources to make certain it is preserved, understood and promulgated."
Please join Elmore Magazine in its efforts to save American music.
Boards of education and school officials are encouraged to contact Elmore Magazine with a formal request for their free subscriptions.
