The Symposium
Position papers had been published in the March and April, 1967 issues of the Music Educators Journal. The papers served as the bases for discussion at the 1967 MENC divisional conferences and for the Tanglewood Symposium. The sessions were moderated by Max Kaplan, Wiley L. Housewright, Allen P. Britton, David P. McAllester, and Karl D. Ernst. Three broad questions were considered:
- What are the characteristics and desirable ideologies for an emerging and postindustrial society?
- What are the values and unique functions of music and other arts for individuals and communities in such a society?
- How may these potentials be attained?
