On April 25th, the Hal Leonard Distribution Center in Winona, Minnesota hosted over 100 music industry retailers from across the nation. They were in the area for the annual Retail Print Music Dealers Association (RPMDA) convention. Many of these print and school market experts also are interested in accessories, gear and technology. They learned more on how Hal Leonard offers brand-name products to expand their offerings.
