Biographical notes:

The Black Music Educators of the Twin Cities (BMETC) was created as an outreach program to provide assistance for young black musicians. Founded in 1974 by African-American musicians and teachers in the Twin Cities, the goal of the organization was to promote black musicians, composers, and students of music through scholarships and access to instruments and instructors. The BMETC was a branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians, the country's oldest African American cultural organization, but over time developed into an autonomous organization. The BMETC ceased its operations in 1994.
