In celebration of the BRAND NEW 2011-2012 West Music Catalog, we've decided to offer you a fun and informative way to get to know the new catalog. In years past, we've held contests such as "Find the West Music Pen", in which customers would search for a pen hidden deep within the pages of the catalog. We had such an overwhelming response to that promotion that we've decided to take it a step further this year.

It's West Music’s Customer Appreciation Day! Our Closed Door Sale is reserved especially for our best customers, and you should receive your invitation in the mail shortly.

In current education debates the phrase "achievement gap" always comes up when experts discuss challenges in learning. After many years serving in various education roles, I believe the achievement gap is a misnomer; a better term would be "opportunity gap." Low-income students would likely overcome this gap if they were given the same opportunities as their peers: safe environments, full stomachs, early exposure to learning, and so on. Disadvantaged students with access to cultural activities, academic enrichment activities, and quality before- and after-school programs learn as quickly as other students. - from Arthur Griffin, ASCD Express

Instructor Naomi Palmer and West Music Cedar Falls announce Minimusic set to start in September! I’m starting to see the signs of fall: school supplies in the stores, birds gathering together, fields are just starting to get the touch of color before they turn to the autumn rainbow and Minimusic pre-registrations are starting. Last year was our first time of offering Minimusic and it was a huge success. At graduation ceremony held here in the store, I was impressed what these young people had learned over the previous year.
