It brings us joy, makes us feel good, and is just a wonderful way to celebrate life. I\u2019m very passionate about the topic of music education for young people and being in school band. This is why I\u2019m happy to be talking with Mary Luehrsen from the National Association for Music Merchants or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namm.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> NAMM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nammfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NAMM Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a supporting organization of NAMM, a 119 year old music products trade association.

According to Mary, this podcast is about inspiring people to support music programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mary\u2019s passion for music education shines through as she shares what NAMM and the NAMM Foundation are.

We talk about the importance of music education, how Mary uses her podcast to build awareness, and what you can do to help music education in your local community. We also talk about being relentlessly positive, networking with school leaders and board members, the importance of music research in promoting music education, and how anyone can help through volunteer efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpropodcastsolutions.com%2F%3Fp%3D10396&#038;text=%E2%80%9CThe%20podcast%20medium%20is%20really%20important%20to%20our%20world%20right%20now.%20We%20have%20a%20pretty%20strong%20listenership%20and%20people%20tell%20us%20that%20it%27s%20important%20to%20them%20and%20that%27s%20what%20matters.%E2%80%9D%20-Mary%20Luehrsen&#038;via=Mardarrell&#038;related=Mardarrell' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cThe podcast medium is really important to our world right now.

It&#8217;s a 119 year old music products trade association. It started in 1901, when the world was so different.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[05:16] NAMM has been carrying the flag, emblems and the torch of the value and importance of music making and music learning since 1901.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[05:29] The global music products industry includes musical instruments, pro audio event technology, and all of the infrastructure and technology for large stadium concerts. All of the things for sound enhancement of the industry come together globally.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[06:10] We had 129 countries represented at the NAMM Show in Southern California.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[07:18] NAMM has also sponsored music brain research and the impact of having children study music early in life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[08:03] Music education is at the heart of the NAMM Foundation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[08:29] Their industry unites around the trade show experience. Because NAMM is a non-profit they can funnel resources into policy and advocacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[08:53] They also lobby in DC for federal legislation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[09:08] They also build advocacy networks for education. This activity is fueled through sponsored research.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[09:35] The foundation is the consumer outreach entity for the mission and vision.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[10:14] The NAMM Foundation wants to be the engine of promoting music education.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[10:55] There&#8217;s 14,000 school districts in America and about 50 million children in public school everyday. Mary wants resources to support public music education for all of these children.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[11:34] Participation and opportunity are never as good as they would like it to be. A social impact movement needs to be pressing continually for the benefit of the children and young people.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[17:05] Music is a powerful way to get people together to embrace a common cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[18:08] The podcast is almost up to 100 episodes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[19:28] The podcast team has worked really hard with building content and helping to form the advocacy portfolio. They have a schedule consistent with their mission. People always like to see new podcasts. Mary is able to record at home with a recorder and a good microphone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[21:30] They produce shows once or twice a month, and do live events from the NAMM Show.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[21:58] They also promote the shows as actively as they can.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[24:24] They have a pretty good download rate, the impact of the show is something that they are leaving to faith. The show may be having an impact because Mary was asked for her autograph.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[25:39] The podcast is mainly about inspiration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[26:49] School music programs are frequently underfunded.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[28:12] Being supportive of music teachers and programs can be helpful.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[30:00] They are starting a relentlessly positive advocacy effort. Part of that effort is saying thank you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[33:43] When it comes to funding, there are levers to pull. We just need to be a positive part of the conversation with our school leaders.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[35:36] Darrell wishes that everybody can experience how awesome being in band is.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[38:57] School administrators want the music programs, they just need to know that they have support.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[39:29] When Mary is walking she listens to NPR or has quiet time. She does love the Sirius Radio Met Opera and Jazz channels. She&#8217;s also not opposed to Bruno Mars.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[41:16] The NAMM Foundation has a huge <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nammfoundation.org\/what-we-do\/music-research\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">music research database<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This information is open source and can be used with citations.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[42:14] They also have press kits for any group trying to start a music program. The information is open to the public.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[45:10] Parents supporting students are truly making a difference with getting music programs in every school.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[46:18] Darrell&#8217;s takeaways: Mary&#8217;s work is very much needed. Parents and non parents can get involved supporting band students. Volunteers can make children&#8217;s lives better through their love of music. The podcast draws attention to the work of the organization. Have a podcast that gains awareness of work being done and your partners. Be relentlessly positive. Get into the conversation and build relationships with leaders and the school board. Ask for a three year commitment. They need support to figure out how to get funding. Use NAMM resources. It&#8217;s astounding what people will do when they feel support.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpropodcastsolutions.com%2F%3Fp%3D10396&#038;text=%E2%80%9CNAMM%20started%20in%201901%2C%20when%20the%20world%20was%20so%20different.%20NAMM%20has%20been%20carrying%20the%20flag%20and%20the%20emblems%20and%20the%20torch%20of%20the%20value%20and%20importance%20of%20music%20making%20and%20music%20learning%20for%20all%20of%20that%20time.%E2%80%9D%20-Mary%20Luehrsen&#038;via=Mardarrell&#038;related=Mardarrell' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cNAMM started in 1901, when the world was so different.
