Women in the Music Industry Vignette

Women’s role in the music industry has progressively grown and developed over the years.  When the NAMM Oral History program began, many of the women interviewed kept the books of their retail store.  However, the role women have played in the industry grew to include more and more women in top managerial positions. These are decision making roles, and roles that allow more involvement in the industry as a whole. This vignette might also serve as a time-capsule of its own as we can imagine a day when the thought of separating women from men for such a video doesn't make any sense because both will be viewed equally. Below are the names and titles of those included in this vignette:

Jeanne Stiernberg - Co-Owner, Stiernberg Consulting

Tish Ciravolo - Founder, Daisy Rock Guitars

Barb Fairhurst - Former Vice President, Sequential Circuits

Rebecca Apodaca - President, A&D Music

Lenise Bent - Recording Engineer
