Hello Stephanie,
This is our maiden voyage with Museum on Main Street and
having now moved to having the exhibition in place at its second site I can say
we are having a grand time! The state scholar that we went with is Dr. Beverly Patterson. She is a folklorist and director
of the North Carolina Folklife Institute. Her background includes documenting shapenote
traditions in mountain communities of North Carolina
and Virginia.
She has given presentations at our board meetings and the programming meeting.
She has also advised our MoMS initiative on various other levels. A folklorist
with musical interests is a good bet!

Subject: New Harmonies Scholar
Hello
all,
Our
state is hosting New Harmonies in 2012, so I’m in the process of searching for
scholars and host sites. For those states who have already had the
exhibit, is it best to look for scholars with Music Ed. backgrounds or is there
another discipline I should be focusing on?
Thanks
for your help!
Stephanie
