{"product_id":"the-making-of-a-music-jerome-stanley-9780761866664","title":"The Making of a Music Academy","description":"This is a story of a music-training program at one among many American institutions of higher learning. These institutions accepted the challenge to evolve and develop training programs for music as part of a liberal arts education. Covering a period of more than one hundred years, the book discusses aspects of politics and the arts in America during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It focuses upon faculty and administrative efforts to maintain a rich experience in the arts at a typical university in Midwestern America. It is a representative story that includes interviews with former faculty and administrators as well as with present faculty and alumni. It is a kind of arts-survival story presenting the argument that music is essential to the ideals of a complete education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerome Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761866663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761866664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hamilton Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Jerome Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483651289343,"sku":"9780761866664","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_704f0611-c066-47f3-beee-96de2e553fef.jpg?v=1778039782","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-making-of-a-music-jerome-stanley-9780761866664","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
