| | Handbook of Texas Online: TEXAS FEDERATION OF MUSIC CLUBS |
 | | The Texas Federation of Music Clubs was designed to establish a center to aid communication and cooperation for Texas musical organizations and to make music an integral part of the civic, social, educational, and religious life of Texas. |
 | | Prompted by Corsicana's Louise Pace, TFWC Music Department chairperson, and also by members representing the Music Festival Association and the National Federation of Music Clubs, which had been established at Chicago in 1893, the Texas Federation of Music Clubs was organized on November 12, 1915, in Brownwood, Texas, during the annual meeting of the TFWC. |
 | | By the administration of Minnie Cox Hambrick (1921-23), TFMC was involved in Music Settlement work to the underprivileged, vocational instruction of the blind, and furnishing music and instruments to and organizing concerts in charitable institutions, schools, and prison camps. |
