Bibliography Events Myrtle on the Web Guestbook Finding the truth is not enough. What we also have to find is justice.                                ~Rigoberta Menchu Survey Says? Saturday, 31 May 2008 MyrtleHart.org has emerged as a powerful online coalition that has galvanized the black community's attention on one particular issue: identity politics, specifically of classical musicians. Parents who enroll their children in music school need to know that their children are not simply taking music lessons; rather, they are stepping into an historic community and global culture. The Myrtle Hart Society and its partner organizations engage the community of young students, seasoned professionalsm, parents and supporters through discussion and information dissemination on related topics. We’ve compiled the results of our recent survey of MHS eNewsletter readers. Here’s what they had to say: Fact: 74.7% of MHS eNewsletter readers found out about the Myrtle Hart Society from a friend or colleague. Results: Thanks so much for spreading the word about this vibrant community.   Fact: Readers of the MHS eNewsletter visit the main web site (myrtlehart.org) once or twice per month. Many thought that the newsletter was the only communication vehicle; they did not know that the site existed. Results: Greater effort will be made to link newsletter items to the site.   Fact: Of those who were aware of myrtlehart.org, 70% felt satisfied (or very satisfied) with its content. Results: The web site is meant to be a space for community conversation and connection. We would like to have more community presence on the site.   Fact: 92.9% of MHS eNewsletter readers were satisfied (or very satisfied) with its content. Results: You like us! You really like us!   Fact: When asked how often you’d like to receive the MHS eNewsletter, 71.1% of our readers said that once a month was just fine. 21.2% wanted it weekly. Results: We will continue to bring you community news once a month.   Fact: 82.6% of readers enjoyed knowing about events globally. 17.4% wanted to know what was happening around them specifically. Results: MHS will continue to bring you community news from around the globe, but will be more specific in the headers with location so that readers can find quickly their local news.   Fact: How much would you pay to receive the MHS eNewsletter? Readers (62.1%) agreed that they would be willing to pay $10/year subscription (less than $1/issue). 31.8% wouldn’t mind paying $20. (Thanks to the 7.6% who would pay $30/year.) Results: The MHS eNewsletter is generously supported by loyal contributors to the non-profit organization, Myrtle Hart Society. With their continued support and additional support provided by new individual donors, MHS eNewsletter readers may never have to pay to receive this news.   Fact: 41.4% of MHS eNewsletter readers participate in online forums, chat rooms and other community sites to connect with colleagues (77.8%), make new friends (42.2%), and find potential dates (34.4%) or simply to pass the time. (38.9%). 53% feel that it’s a good place to meet people in general. Results: As a resource for better communication, MHS is considering creating a forum on myrtlehart.org so that our colleagues from around the globe could conveniently and safely converse with each other.   Fact: None of MHS eNewsletter readers are Republican! Of those who took the survey, 73.9% were Democrat, 20.7% were Independent, and 4.3% were apolitical. (Hi, 2.2% Green.) Results: Go Obama!   Fact: Our readers were very concerned with the state of the world. However, health (63.0%), world (55.4%) and politics (55.4%) were ranked the highest. Entertainment, youths and environment were next in line. Results: MHS is devoted to the intersection of issues and often seeks to find ways to connect this community of classical musicians to main society. Be on the lookout for articles that address theses and more intersecting issues.   Fact: We wondered about the social consciousness level our readers were, so we asked about social/cultural movements. Unsurprisingly, 45.0% of our readers were part of the civil rights movement. (Also noteworthy, 27.5% environment, 22.5% arts activism, 21.3% Black Nationalist, 13.8% AIDS activism, 11.3% LGBTQ and 10% disability rights.) Our readers have open minds and are involved in social struggles. Results: MHS is an organization run by a younger generation born into technology, which shapes our theory of organizing and research as evidenced in the pages of myrtlehart.org. Unlike organizing efforts of the past, MHS uses evolving forms of expression to characterize social issues. However, we recognize that our life experiences are predicated on the achievements of the civil rights generation.   Fact: I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn that 93.6% of the MHS eNewsletter readers listen to classical music. Then, perhaps given the fact that MHS eNewsletter readers are overwhelmingly people of color (African American, African/Caribbean, Latino/a, Native American), these numbers will also not surprise you: 78.7% jazz, 67% R&B, 59.6% soul, 57.4% Instrumental, 48.9% gospel and 44.7%cultural/world beat. Results: MHS often refers to the community as “the classical community of color,” but really, we are so much more than that. A number of our readers are Asian and European American. As well, definitions of what is deemed “classical,” especially in America, are cause for great debate. Some say that jazz is America’s classical music. Others want a broader definition of classical that includes ethnic and cultural (i.e. environmental) influences. Whatever you think, it’s certain that our composers span the spectrum.   Fact: Artists/musicians/entertainers, students and educators read the MHS eNewsletter. Of those who are musicians, 48.6% teach and 64.3% perform. 27.1% compose and/or arrange. About 1/3 of MHS eNewsletter readers to not teach or perform, they just enjoy the music. Results: I’m glad we’re hitting our mark. Welcome home.   < Prev   Next > [ Back ]       © 2012 myrtlehart.org Joomla! is Free Software released under the GNU/GPL License.
