After Mozart’s death (in poverty) in 1791, his wife Constantine continued to protect (copyright and publishing rights), promote (mechanical rights), and publish his music, marking the beginning of the modern music business. 19th Century Music Business

• CD revenues in the U.S. dropped from a high of $14.6 billion in 1999 to $10.4 billion in 2008. The Economist and report that the downward trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future[8][9] —Forrester Research predicts that by 2013, revenues in USA may reach as low as $9.2 billion.[8] This dramatic decline in revenue has caused large-scale layoffs inside the industry, driven retailers (such as Tower Records) out of business and forced record companies, record producers, studios, recording engineers and musicians to seek new business models.[10] Worldwide Live Music / Concert Revenues (2006 - 2011)

Piracy is growing problem

• Key markets show impact of piracy Spain (-14.3%) and (-7.4%), countries with some of the world's weakest legal defenses against piracy, show the sharpest falls, along with Italy, over a decade among the top 10 markets. Spain, where illegal file- sharing is more than double the average rate in Europe, has seen the biggest market fall, down 60% since 1999. Canada, practically the only government of a developed country not to have implemented international copyright treaties agreed over a decade ago, is a major source of the world's piracy problem. A disproportionate number of illegal sites are hosted on Canadian soil.

Research in March 2010 measured the economic impact of piracy on the creative industries. Tera Consultants suggest that the EU could lose 1.2 million jobs across the creative sector by 2015 if no effective action is taken to tackle piracy.

Music Education Adds to tax base

• The Music Education Business produces jobs in America, generating an estimate $37 billion with a return of $3.4 billion in federal income taxes. (Source: American Arts Alliance Fact Sheet, October 1996 )

MUSIC EDUCATION

The arts are one of the six subject areas in which the College Board recognizes as essential in order to thrive in college. (Source: Academic Preparation for College: What Students Need to Know and Be Able to Do, The College Board, New York Does music make you smarter?

Music performance students scored 53 points higher on the verbal and 39 points higher on the SAT math tests. Music appreciation students scored 61 points higher on the verbal and 42 points higher on the SAT math tests. (Source: 1999 College-Bound Seniors National Report: Profile of SAT Program Test Takers, The College Entrance Examination Board, Princeton, New Jersey) More Medical Students were musicians • Lewis Thomas, physician and biologist, found that music majors comprise the highest percentage of accepted medical students at 66%. (Source: As reported in “The Case for Music in the Schools,” Phi Delta Kappan, February 1994.)

More Academic Honors for Musicians

According to the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988, music students received more academic honors and awards than non-music students. A higher percentage of music participants received As, As/Bs, and Bs than non-music participants. (Source: NELS:88 First Follow-up, 1990, National Center for Education Statistics, Washington D.C.)

Musicians stay smarter longer

• Want to keep your mind healthy and sharp throughout your life? Pick up an instrument. A new study found that musicians might have brains that function better than their peers well into old age. Bet you wish you stuck with those piano lessons after all. • Researchers tested the mental abilities of senior citizens and discovered that musicians performed better at a number of tests. In particular, musicians excelled at visual memory tasks. While musicians had similar verbal capabilities to non-musicians, the musicians’ ability to memorize new words was markedly better, too. Perhaps most importantly, the musicians’ IQ scores were higher overall than those who spent their lives listening to music rather than performing it.

Yes, studying music makes you smarter earlier

Research made between music and intelligence concluded that music training is far greater than computer instruction in improving children’s abstract reasoning skills.(Source: Shaw, Rauscher, Levine, Wright, Dennis and Newcomb, “Music training causes long-term enhancement of preschool children’s spatial-temporal reasoning,” Neurological Research, vol. 19, February 1997 )

That Long held opinion is now backed by scientific evidence.

Researchers in Leipzig discovered through the use of brain scans that musicians had larger planum temporale, the region of the brain associated with reading skills. Also, musicians had a thicker corpus callosum, the nerve fibers

that connect the two halves of the brain. (Source: G. Schlaug, L. Jancke, Y. Huang, and H. Steinmetz (1994). “In vivo morphometry of interhemispheric asymmetry and connectivity in musicians.” In I. Deliege (Ed.), Proceedings of the 3rd international conference for music perception and cognition (pp. 417-418), Liege, Belgium.) Music beats computers in child development

Music is Beating Computers at Enhancing Early Childhood Development. Music training, specifically piano instruction, is far superior to computer instruction in dramatically enhancing children's abstract reasoning skills necessary for learning math and science. Learning music at an early age causes long-term enhancement of spatial-temporal reasoning. (Source: Frances Rauscher, Ph.D., Gordon Shaw, Ph.D., University of California, Irvine, 1997)

USA is a country of music makers

113 million, or 53% of Americans over the age of 12 are current or former music makers. (Source: 1997

"American Attitudes Towards Music" poll conducted by the Gallup Organization) We’ve Known this a long time

THE ORIGINAL SEVEN LIBERAL ARTS The Trivium • grammar • logic • rhetoric The Quadrivium • arithmetic • astronomy • music • geometry FACTS

• No Child Left Behind has pushed music and the arts to the periphery of education (music is not tested or required) • As one of the seven liberal arts, music is the only one not required or tested in American public schools. • Music in the elementary is often one of the first subjects eliminated from P.S. curriculum even though all the scientific and educational data supports it for stronger tests scores in all subjects.

The music industry has also been outsourced to China • In 2007 it was estimated that there were nearly 30 million piano students and 10 million violin students in China. Comprehensive tests to enter the top conservatories attracted nearly 200,000 students a year, compared with a few thousand annually in the 1980s, according to the Chinese Musicians' Association. Those top conductors and performers have their sites set on the top American and European Symphony Orchestra Spots

America is importing more and more Chinese Musicians

• American and European institutions— including the Oberlin Conservatory of Music; the Yale School of Music; the Manhattan School of Music; the Paris Conservatoire; the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, in Budapest; and the Sibelius Academy, in Finland—also recruit heavily in China, a turn of events that would have seemed absurd a few decades ago. The Future of Classical Music

• Experts now see China, Korea, Japan, and Russia as the future life for classical music as American Orchestras continue to struggle to survive and many are disappearing.

Van Cliburn Piano Competition

• Not even the New York Times announced the recent winner of the world’s most prestigious, and America’s only, international piano competition which takes place once every four years. Could it be because the only finalists were from China, Korea, and Japan?

Every civilization in history has contributed to the aesthetic expression of sound through music. The business of music is to insure those voices are heard.
