Renowned Music Education Historian Argues Lowell Mason House Be Preserved
MENC posted a message about the effort to save the Lowell Mason House and noted a letter to the Medfield paper written by prominent music education historian Michael Mark, who urges the Lowell Mason House be preserved. Mark is a member of the Music Educators Hall of Fame, honored for his own contribution to music education and music education history.
In a letter to the Medfield paper, he wrote, “Mason’s heritage lives on today in the magnificent school bands, orchestras and choruses that enrich the lives of students and communities throughout the country. America’s incredibly rich music culture can be credited, in large part, to the success of its school music teachers.” (View Mark's complete letter.)
