And what did the “500 sales” consist of? We established the store online in May, 2018, and have printed books, music, and accessories for sale. We also use the store for various online conference registrations and other donations. Most recently, we have been offering free downloads of music for our members and friends.

Please review the breakdowns of the transactions below. It is notable that, although we are an association in North America, we also had book and music sales to 10 countries outside the US and Canada, comprising 20 percent of the total. And look at our almost $9K in revenue – nearly half came from books and music. That’s over 400 total books from 37 composers and 130+ titles!
Our work with the “Kerry Lee Collection” is just beginning, and we expect the sales that benefit Kerry’s family to increase over the course of the year. And we prepared a special chart to show the “miscellaneous” item breakdown.
We consider our Music Sales store to be a ringing success (pardon the pun!) and are receiving new items or replenishing with regularity. Maybe we’ll hit 1000 in less than the 2 ½ years it took to reach 500.
