More On Student Work

May 26, 11:53 PM

In the January newsletter we told you about some reports we had received of students providing musical services, thereby displacing local professionals. I invite you to read the March “International Musician” article by Tina Morrison, President of Local 105 in Spokane, who writes further about this problem as it has occurred in her local and in Hartford, Connecticut. The article, “A Fine Balance: Student Musicians and Professional Gigs” eloquently describes the problem. On the same page the AFM/MENC Music Code of Ethics is printed in full. Although it has not been updated for some time, the guidelines that are discussed are easily applied to present-day situations.
