Would a Musician’s Only Search Engine be Helpful?

Would you find a search engine geared towards students, musicians and music educators helpful?

Using Google Co-Op Search, we’ve created a Musicians Only Search Engine. I would love your feedback, and we are also looking for volunteers to help pick and rate the sites we add to this search engine.

What Factors Count When Purchasing an Instrument?

What is the most important factor in purchasing an instrument? Brand, Price, Warranty, or another factor? Do these factors change when purchasing online vs. a local retail store?

Who Controls the Pricing?

Should instrument manufacturers be able to dictate the price of their items sold by dealers? As a consumer, do you feel like you are getting the best value available on your purchase?

Who's Responsible for Funding Our School Music Programs?

We wanted your opinion of who you think should be responsible for making sure our school music programs are being adequately funded? Do you think the traditional means of using parent backed band booster clubs for additional funding are meeting the goals of these programs?

We look forward to your feedback on these questions.
