Copyright 1968 by the Music Educators NationalConference Library of Congress CatalogNumber 68-9569 Printed in U. S. A. $2.50 Introduction Since 1961, when the MENC Film Guidefor Music Educators first appeared, a number of new films and filmstrips designedfor music teaching have becomeavailable. As in the 1961 Guide, it should beexplained that many of these features wereoriginally produced for use on instructional oreducational television.Others, such as the Young People's Concert series with LeonardBernstein and the Bell Telephone Hours, wereorig- inally produced for commercialtelevision.Still others represent the educational filmde- signed to be used in a specific area and at aspecific level of music teaching. It is interesting to note that a feweducational film producers are beginning to re- spond to repeated requests from musiceducators for materials to be used with young children. Others are developing new approaches tothe use of music with other subjects (multi-media approach). Many of the newlistings should be of special interest to teachers of general music at the secondaryschool level. Our search for new materials has been along and intensive one. Over two years have elapsed since we initiated work on thisrevision. A special debt of gratitude is due Paul Eickmann, graduate fellow inmusic education at the Eastman School ofMusic, who was chiefly responsible forthe monumental task of correspondingwith producers and assisting with the revision; and also to ProfessorsKatherine Crews and Everett Gates, my colleagues in the department of musiceducation at the Eastman School, who viewed many of the new filmswith me during the past two years. In response to suggestions from musiceducators, comparative ratings of films have been eliminated. This deletion places theobligation for previewing and evaluating entirely with film users. Hopefully, many of the filmsand filmstrips included in this guide will be used in teacher training courses andin-service music education workshops. Those music educators who wish to keep upwith current developments in the in- structional media area would do well to availthemselves of information published in the several audiovisual periodicals listed in the Guide.In addition, the third volume of the Educational Media Index (Art and Music), publishedby McGraw-Hill, should be used to locate additional materials for teaching music.This sourcea project of the Educational Media Councilis supplemented frequently. Because any film catalog listing is out of date uponpublication, those who use this guide may find it necessary to supplement itwith new titles and descriptive data on films. For this purpose, blank pages are provided atthe back of the book. Educators may obtain films for loan from varioussourcespublic school libraries and regional and state educational filmlibraries.It is recommended that those wishing to use films secure them from theclosest available source. If films are not availablelocally, teachers should urge distribution centers orfilm libraries to procure them. Many states offer special rental rates if a school uses a certainnumber of films each year, Films used frequently in any school system should be purchasedif local utilization demands. Those who purchase films should be aware of thenecessity for proper film storage, film care, and upkeep. A listing of current addresses of filmdistributors and producers is included for those interested in securing additionatinformation on films orcurrent purchase rates. To those wishing more information on instructional mediaequipment and materials, the list of audiovisual books and periodicals on page 79 shouldbe of value. Donald J.
