How does the center benefit WSMA’s existing programs and services?
The center benefits WSMA’s existing programs in several ways: Solo and Ensemble Festivals • Teachers, students, parents, private teachers and others may now preview selections on the WSMA Festival Music List in the resource center. • Additional workspace in the center increases efficiency for extra help needed during festival season to process permissions and contact judges. State Honors Music Projects (Middle Level and High School) • The high quality State Honors repertoire now has a home in the Ralph Houghton Honors Library. The library also features past Honors programs and recordings. Many of the Honors selections are part of the WSMA Music Festival List, increasing the quality of the selections recommended for school music groups. • A complete list of Honors repertoire, conductors and recordings is now available. • The recording studio will improve sight-reading options during auditions. Music Curriculum Resources • The center houses a collection of K-12 music curricula for study
