New Members Inducted Into Music Educators Hall of Fame

RESTON, VA (PRWEB) April 2, 2004 -

– Three highly esteemed music educators are slated to be inducted into the Music Educators Hall of Fame at MENC: The National Association for Music Education’s 59th National Biennial In-Service Conference in Minneapolis in April. Eunice Boardman, Robert Klotman, and Michael Mark join others in the Music Educators Hall of Fame as the most highly regarded professionals in the field.

Eunice Boardman, a music educator with over 50 years of teaching experience, has made important contributions to elementary general music and music in higher education. A graduate of Cornell College, Columbia University, and the University of Illinois, Boardman is especially well known for her collaborations on elementary music series and college music textbooks. In addition, Boardman is recognized for her instructional and administrative work, especially in Kansas, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

Robert Klotman, known for his extensive work in string pedagogy, has been an exceptional leader in professional organizations, having served as president of both MENC and The American String Teachers Association. Klotman holds degrees from Ohio Northern University, Western Reserve University, and Columbia University, and was a long-time educator at Indiana University, receiving the Outstanding Hoosier Musician award in 1986.

Michael Mark is best known for his teaching at The Catholic University of America and Towson University, and for his publications, especially numerous articles and books he wrote on the history of music education including Contemporary Music Education, Source Readings in Music Education History, and A History of American Music Education. Currently, Mark is the leader of the Baltimore Saxophone Quartet and member of the Baltimore Clarinet Consort.

MENC established the Music Educators Hall of Fame in 1984 and, according to its mission statement “recognizes and honors those music educators who, by virtue of their contributions, are of such significant stature that they are considered to be among the most highly regarded professional leaders in American music education.”
