Protected from the commercial agendas of advertisements and product reviews, the editorial content of Music Alive! is influenced by one, and only one, set of priorities—those of music teachers and their students.

In particular, the following devoted music educators, hailing from various regions across the country, class-test each issue and provided regular feedback on content, level of difficulty, and presentation style. They help us make Music Alive! the best it can be.
