We at Hal Leonard are crushed to hear of the loss of Happy Traum. Happy and his wife Jane have been part of the Hal family for decades and we couldn’t be more proud that they worked with us on their amazing legacy of folk music and instruction. Happy was a pioneer, a major talent, an excellent teacher, and, most of all, a wonderful friend who will be missed dearly by many. Our condolences to Jane, their family, and the many, many friends who will be mourning this loss. https://lnkd.in/guv57CWq

We're delighted to share that Leah Claiborne's book Expanding the Repertoire: Piano Music of Black Composers won the Founder's Award at the inaugural Piano Education Awards. This event was organized by Elena Cobb of EVC Music and presented by Andrew Eales, and celebrates excellence and innovation in piano education literature. Nominations were open for any publication from 2023 or 2024, and Hal Leonard was proud to have several titles included across various categories. In a speech read by Bosba Panh, Claiborne shared, "I have dedicated my life to bringing piano music by Black composers to the forefront of classical music, especially for children who deserve to be exposed to the beauty and diversity of classical music at the fundamental years of learning... I hope that this recognition will spark more interest in the works of Black composers and encourage a more inclusive representation on concert stages, starting with our youth." It was a true honour to attend and sponsor the inaugural Art of Piano Education Awards at the Royal Albert Hall. Hal Leonard is fortunate to have been EVC Music's global distributor since 2021, and so we know first-hand how hard-working and determined Elena Cobb is. We look forward to supporting the awards as they evolve under her and Andrew Eales' expert guidance. Congratulations to fellow winners and nominees! 📸Katie Edwards, Dock Leaf Films #Piano #PianoEdAwards #MusicEducation #PianoMusicofBlackComposers #HalLeonard #musicbusinessnews #musicpublishing #musicpublisher
