12 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 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.

13 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. For more on the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, visit
