About the Authors
Dr. Willard Palmer established himself as an internationally recognized musician, educator, and scholar whose prolific career spanned multiple instruments and genres. A child prodigy who performed piano on radio at age 13, he built his foundation under the mentorship of Mae Vardeman, whose instruction in proper technique enabled him to develop his improvisational gifts. His early years included concurrent studies in piano and accordion at Whitworth College and Millsaps College in Mississippi, where he performed regularly on radio broadcasts and in campus ensembles.
Palmer's scholarly contributions and published output proved extraordinary. He authored 789 works encompassing accordion methods, multiple piano methods, Hammond Chord Organ instruction, guitar methods, numerous solo compositions, and choral pieces, many translated into German, Japanese, French, Dutch, and Spanish. His expertise in Baroque music ornamentation became internationally recognized and formed the foundation for the acclaimed Alfred Masterworks publication series. He earned a Doctor of Humanities degree in 1971 and a Doctor of Music degree in 1983 in recognition of his musicological research.
Beyond his publications, Palmer shaped music education as a faculty member at the University of Houston, where he taught the first successful college-level accordion courses for 18 years. He served as choir director at Memorial Lutheran Church in Houston for many years and directed the Riemenschneider Bach Institute. A dedicated professional, Palmer maintained active membership in the American Federation of Musicians Local #65, the American Accordionists' Association, and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

Morton Manus led Alfred Music Publishing as president for over six decades, from 1952 through 2016. His father, Sam Manus, had founded the company's predecessor in 1922 as a Tin Pan Alley sheet music publisher. When Sam acquired Alfred & Company in 1930 and merged the operations, the combined firm became known simply as Alfred Music. Morton joined the company in the late 1940s after earning a business degree from City College of New York, eventually taking over leadership when his father retired.
A clarinetist and pianist himself, Morton transformed Alfred Music during the 1950s by recognizing the potential of the music education market. He spearheaded the creation of instructional series for accordion, guitar, piano, and recorder that established the company as a leader in educational materials rather than just a sheet music publisher. The company's expansion during the following two decades was so substantial that its New York base could no longer accommodate operations; in 1975, the headquarters moved to Los Angeles while a distribution center opened in upstate New York.
Morton's sons Ron and Steve continued the family legacy by joining the company in 1988 and 1992 respectively. Together, they expanded Alfred Music's reach globally through offices in Australia, Germany, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, while maintaining focus on developing world class instructional methods and performance music. In 2005, the company acquired Warner Bros. Publications, securing rights to the EMI Catalogue Partnership and forging an enduring relationship with Warner/Chappell Music.
