“WELCOME MESSAGE
Thanks for visiting Casa Musicale de Lerma.
This is a new site dedicated to the research of Musicians who have in one way influenced the proliferation of Black Music throughout the U.S. and other countries.
Additionally, there are some interesting links to the left, which may prove utilitarian for prospective music teachers and students seeking assistance in developing curriculum for undergraduate and graduate studies.
The Ben Holt Series link is of notable importance as it refers to a Musical Series Scholarship program established to assist young, talented musicians of African descent. Ben Holt was an up and coming artist in the 1970s.” Full Text
