THE GRAMMY MUSEUM
®
AT L.A. LIVE AND MISSISSIPPI
Paying tribute to music’s rich cultural history,
these unique 21st century museums explore
and celebrate the enduring legacies of all
forms of music, the creative process, the art and
technology of the recording process and the
history of the premier recognition of excellence
in recorded music — the GRAMMY® Award.
The GRAMMY Museum® first opened its doors
in December 2008 featuring 30,000 square feet
of interactive and multimedia exhibits located
within L.A. Live, the downtown Los Angeles
sports, entertainment and residential district.
After seven years of thought-provoking and
dynamic public and education programs and
exhibits, the Museum will open GRAMMY Museum® Mississippi — its first location outside
of Los Angeles — on March 5, 2016. GRAMMY Museum Mississippi will be housed on the
campus of Delta State University in Cleveland, Miss. Similar to the Los Angeles GRAMMY
Museum, the Mississippi Museum will be dedicated to exploring the past, present and
future of music, and the cultural context from which it emerges, while casting a focused
spotlight on the deep musical roots of Mississippi, the cradle of American music.
GRAMMY Museum members receive a world of benefits, including: free admission,
advance notice of Museum-hosted performances, interviews, films and discussions,
exclusive member events, and discounts to participating L.A. Live venues and restaurants.
To join, call 213.765.6800 or email membership@grammymuseum.org.
For more information, please visit www.grammymuseum.org. For information on
GRAMMY Museum Mississippi, visit www.grammymuseumms.org.
THE RECORDING ACADEMY AND GRAMMY FOUNDATION

MUSIC EDUCATOR AWARD
™
For many performers who make it
to the GRAMMY® stage, there was a
teacher who played a critical role in
getting them there. And really, that’s
true for many of us who are making
music today. Maybe it was a music
teacher who introduced you to your
first instrument, or showed you how to
get over your stage fright, or maybe just
inspired you to have the confidence to
continue playing music when you were
ready to give up.
In recognition of the vital role that music
educators play in the development of
students as well-rounded contributors to the culture and their communities, The Recording
Academy and the GRAMMY Foundation teamed in 2013 to create the Music Educator
Award.
Current full-time educators in the United States who teach music in public or private
schools, kindergarten through college, are eligible for the honor, which is presented during
GRAMMY Week and acknowledged on the GRAMMY Awards® telecast.
To nominate the teacher who has positively impacted your community, go to
www.grammyintheschools.com and click “Apply.”
It's time to say thank you to all of the teachers who inspire and encourage us to be the
best we can be.
GRAMMY HALL OF FAME
®
Since approximately the beginning of the 20th century, a vast body of music has been created
and produced through the recording process. In all its forms, genres and styles, made by
thousands of artists and other contributors, many of whom were influenced by those who came
before them, these recordings have made our world far richer. This wealth of music is reflected
in the more than 1,000 classic recordings enshrined in the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame.
Each year, roughly 25 recordings, exhibiting lasting qualitative or historical significance and
released at least 25 years ago, are added to the Hall.
Selected by experts and historians and ratified by the Trustees of The Recording Academy®,
recordings inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame reveal the expansive breadth and inspiring
creative brilliance of 20th century music and the unique artists who blazed new musical trails.
With these recordings, you can literally hear the development and evolution of rock, R&B, blues,
American roots, country, and other forms of music that enriched our culture and, often, changed
the world. From Abbey Road to “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,” the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame forms the
definitive playlist of music history.
The GRAMMY Museum® at L.A. Live is the physical home of the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, where
visitors can explore every inducted recording.
